I can get high off enough dollar bills?

 

[tsiberious]

This is highly suspect. I would tend to believe there was trace amounts of cocaine on their equipment which made them think it was on the bills.
eg: If I'm wearing purple sunglasses the world is 95% purple.

I am surprised that it is that low. Of course, I could care less whether or not money has drug residue or not; it is not like I am going to attempt extraction of the drug from the bills.

MrBradley: Could you? Yes, but it is extremely difficult to do. I would not attempt to hang my hat on that defense if you get caught with a straw up your nose.

Uh, yeah. These people are stupid enough to forget to clean their equipment. Chances are the bills received an application of a certain chemical to show the presence of certain drugs.

To be expected I guess, since it's trace amounts it doesn't come off easily, and just gets wiped off onto more in the wallet, it's inevitable really.

Now, instead of Bush sitting there, shouldn't it be Scarface...I believe that's where the original picture came from.....

Guess that explains that nice tingly feeling you feel when you get paid...

Of course DC had the highest rate... Wherever there's wealthy white men with political power, there's coke and gay male escorts....

 

[Burodsx]

I guess this explains why I'm addicted to money.

Man, the some of the comments on here are f-in hilarious!! Whoever smashed George's head on Al Pacino did a good job! Man, I posted it on my facebook... awesomeness. Oh yea, about the topic? Who gives a shit.

This is news why? Who cares? Besides, why not put Obama's picture here? Unlike Bill Clinton, at least Obama admitted to inhaling a narcotic. Must be a slow news day.

Here in Canada, 87% of bills have traces of maple syrup.

 

[homerhellboy223]

wtf with the bush_cocaine picture? what does that have to do with anything?

 

[WheelsOfConfusion]

You'd think with all the money laundering that goes on those bills would be squeaky clean.

 

[mrhappy50]

^You would be surprised..... that's where our tax money went

 

[gekko668]

If the u.s bills is the most dirtiest then the keyboard and mouse should be the second and third dirtiest right?

 

[mlopinto2k1]

LMFAO @ chuckdalton!!

The Bush and Cocaine picture is just downright funny. Oh Yea homerhellboy223 - You must've not read the entire article. Here, let me quote [citation][nom]ABOVE ARTICLE[/nom]According to the findings presented today at the biannual meeting of the American Chemical Society, Washington D.C. (unsurprisingly) ranked the highest on the survey with a 95-percent contamination (those darn politicians).[/citation]

I usually lick every bill i have. It's a good way to build up immunities!

 

[Draven35]

234 bills? with the billions in circulation, 234 bills is a good sample set- 13 bills per city? were they ones, tens, twenties, hundreds? Were all the bill collected at the same sample point, thus contacting one another and polluting the samples?

 

[frozenlead]

That sample size is not large enough to paint a picture for the whole country.
