ANIMAL WASTE DRUG BEING SOLD HERE

Dangerous dope containing animal waste is flooding the Midlands after
the price of cannabis has doubled.

In the past year the cost of high-quality Moroccan hash has jumped
from UKP 100 an ounce to more than UKP 160 in some areas.

As a result, cheap "soap bar" dope, which can be bought at UKP 30 an
ounce, has flooded the Midland drug market. The drug has been found to
contain barbiturates and even animal waste.

Last night cannabis campaigners issued a warning to users, advising
them not to buy the potentially lethal weed.

"Some of the soap bars don't even contain any cannabis," said a
spokesman for the Legalise Cannabis Alliance.

"But they can contain all kinds of other dangerous toxins. Tests
carried out by scientists have found them to contain things like
coffee, paraffin oil and even animal waste."

Scientists have also discovered animal tranquillisers, diesel,
depressants, wax, rubber, soil, liquorice and even boot polish in the
cheap drug.
