SPAIN – Study says most cannabis sold on the streets of Madrid is contaminated with dangerous levels of fecal matter. Traces of Escherichia coli bacteria and Aspergillus fungus were found by analysts who examined 90 samples bought in and around the Spanish capital.
The samples that were wrapped up in plastic “acorns” were the worst offenders, reportedly because of the way they are smuggled into the country.
The study’s lead author said, “Some 40% of these also had the aroma of feces.”
Buying, selling and importing cannabis are against the law in Spain, although it is technically legal to grow it for personal use provided it is not publicly visible and should be consumed in private. (BBC)
