Cocaine river!

[IBBoard]

I just read an interesting news report on BBC's teletext news - apparently the River Po in Italy has cocaine byproducts equivalent to approximately 4Kg of Cocaine _per day_ flowing down it! They reckon it's about 27 doses per 1000 'young people' in the valley - now is that a valley with a lot of cocaine users or a small number of very heavy users?

Where's me straw?

EDIT: Just noticed it said Cocaine metabolites, maybe not then.
I wonder if you could use this as an excuse in a drugs test, I presume if whatever is in the water is what is left after you've taken coke, if you ingest it, it will just pass out again.

An excuse? "I'm sorry officer, I just went into the River Po and swallowed several gallons of water and so I think that must be the reason that the metabolites are in my system and has nothing to do with the fact that you caught me high with cocaine stashed on me"
