Staggering 1 in 10 bank notes is now tainted with cocaine showing use has trebled in six years

Drugs officers say cocaine combined with alcohol is fuelling violence on Britain’s streets

More than one in every ten bank notes in circulation is tainted with cocaine powder. Police say growing use of the drug means the number of notes carrying traces of the Class A drug has trebled in six years. Worryingly, specialist drugs officers say cocaine taken in combination with alcohol is fuelling violence on Britain’s streets.

Yesterday, one warned Labour’s 24-hour drinking laws had sparked a rise in cocaine use - as it was taken by drinkers who want to stay out all night. Details of the growing prevalence of cocaine were given to a meeting of the Government’s official drugs body yesterday. Police constable Adrian Parsons, Kent Police’s drug expert evidence coordinator told the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs that users were taking ‘coke’ so they could carry on drinking into the early hours.

Recent tests have also shown rising evidence cocaine is being mixed with MDMA - the active ingredient in the dance drug ecstasy.

Figures from the British Crime Survey show that in 2003/4 around 5.4 per cent admitting taking the drug in the previous year.

By 2008/9 that peaked at 6.6 per cent - an increase of nearly a fifth.

So they're just pulling headlines out of their asses. Maybe the notes around now have been in circulation longer?

And better MDMA than levamisole, or are they still doing that?

Don't use money to snort coke. That's like cutting yourself and letting 200 people ply their thumbs into the cut.
