Scientists discovered that fish exposed to benzoylecgonine, a cocaine metabolite, swim nearly twice as far as unexposed fish in Lake Vättern, Sweden. This field study provides the first evidence of drug residues directly altering wild aquatic animal behavior, raising new questions about ecological impacts of human drug pollution.

Salmon got Coke before GTA 6
If they can’t stay in one spot, they’re less safe from predators and fishing. And also you have coked up fish so that’s a problem too.
Where did the scientist get pure coke from? 🤣🤣
The real question is where did they get the cocain
That salmon be feeling GREAT
"I swear boss, I only ate salmon for dinner last night and no extra curricular activities. Idk how that Cola got in my system!?"
Imagine the Bears on Cocaine 🐻
Wow now my Fish is a Drug addict 😂😂😂😂😂😂
"bro, these salmons were high" "Huh? You mean.. peak?" "No bro, like. DAMN."
Ahh yes let's give some random fish cocaine
Never been so jealous of a fish in my life
Just imagine the conversation they had to get funding for this project
You know, when you really consider it, it is absolutely astonishing the amount of damage humans are doing to the natural environment.
So thats why i like shrimp so much
Some kid is gonna go snort the ocean
"Flushing drugs is hurting fish" was not on my 2026 bingo card.
Never see Finding Nemo & Dori the dame again 😂
Great we had cocaine bear and now cocaine salman?
The thing with lake Vättern is salmon isnt native there anyways and doesn't reproduce. Brown trout does tho
Scientists try not to give cocaine to animals challenge(imposible)
