Torsten Posted May 30, 2009 Red Bull contains cocaine ... well, at least in Austria is does. ----------------------------- http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2009/05/30/2585388.htm Taiwan confiscates cocaine-laced energy drinks Taiwanese authorities say they have confiscated nearly 18,000 cases of Red Bull energy drinks containing slight traces of cocaine and imported from Austria. The goods worth around 25 million Taiwan dollars (about $10 million) were taken from the local importer's warehouses, the Investigation Bureau said in a statement. They were part of a shipment that arrived from Austria in April, of which some were available from retailers and department stores for 50-65 Taiwan dollars a can, the bureau said. The bureau said it had questioned the importer, who was also planning to launch a large-scale marketing campaign Monday to start selling the drinks in convenience stores. The authorities have ordered the drinks to be removed from shelves pending further investigation. Manufacturing, transporting and selling cocaine is a criminal offence punishable by death or life imprisonment, according to Taiwanese laws. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

devance Posted May 31, 2009 We will all be radioactive before plant drugs: that can be self grown are legal. So the Red Bull thing is teasing thing for TV shitheads. A way of taking attention from the economic problem, 50% of women and their intersted in how to feed, educate, and have a nice raising situtuation without atomic bombs, or being screwed economicaly, which I think is reasonable.

Teotzlcoatl Posted June 5, 2009 Apparently Teotz didn't pick up on that. Have you ever chewed Coca leaf? 00o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o man! I love me some Coca leaf! A soda with just a tiny amount of cocaine would be PERFECT for me! Now I can drink my Coca-cola without a big wad of leafs in my cheek! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A soda with just a tiny amount of cocaine would be PERFECT for me!Now I can drink my Coca-cola without a big wad of leafs in my cheek! you can't have the same effect by drinking the stuff, cocaine isn't very efficient by the gastric route, it is best taken via the mucosa. As for me i much prefer having green leaves in my mouth than drinking nasty sugary sodas...coca's tastes are wonderful and should be an available pleasure in the whole world, i see this plant as Camelia sinensis sister ;) they are a perfect pair and both are long life promoting plants that should be respected and enjoyed.
