All the time.

Listen, I love this story, to be honest with you.

So it was a story that was research that was done by this guy called Jack Brand in the Swedish university.

And basically what they found out is that juvenile Atlantic salmon that were artificially exposed to cocaine or its main breakdown product swam further than the normal fish.

So they were more erratic in their swimming.

And you might think that's a good thing, but it's actually a bad thing because predators are used to, you know, it can affect predators and it can affect feeding.

And also it's changing the biodiversity, you know, within the environment.

And it's actually not necessarily cocaine.

I was thinking about this.

Do you remember when people were looking at levels of COVID in wastewater and they were able to, you know, determine if there was a lot of infections?

Well, this is kind of the same thing.

It's not normal water that is showing up and it's wastewater.

And that can, you know, impact the land if there's too much rain or if there's overflows and stuff like that.

And then they also found that trout being addicted to meta-amphetamines also

scooting around they were scooting around right too fast but I think this is the best perch lost their fear of predators due to the fact that they were taking in antidepressants

They're just ingesting it, just the way they would ingest food and stuff like that.

Is this a worry?

Is there that much cocaine in the water?

Actually, well, it's the wastewater.

Yeah.
