OTTAWA (CBC) - Cocaine traffickers appear to be reacting to the rise of the Canadian dollar and the fall of the U.S. greenback, preferring Canadian and European markets to those in the U.S., say drug experts and medical officials.

For the first time in years, many American cities seem to be experiencing a cocaine shortage while experts say some Canadian cities - including Vancouver and Ottawa - say they're seeing more cocaine than ever.


"The price has gone up, purity has gone down. That tells us they have less of their poison to peddle on our streets," U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration agent Steve Robertson told CBC News on Friday.


Across the United States, fewer emergency patients are reporting cocaine use and there is also less cocaine in Americans' urine, said Dr. Barry Sample of Quest Diagnostics, America's biggest drug testing company.


"We've noticed an unprecedented decline in the positivity rates for cocaine tests, and it's at the lowest level since we started reporting in 1997," he said.

exports increasing, less coke usage. Hmm, maybe a weak dollar isn't so bad after all.

Cocaine was for the wealthy 80s.

The choice of drugs for the latest generation is METH. That's where the drug epidemic of choice is at right now.

Cocaine is seriously dated.

Nah, coke is still the rich kids weapon of choice. Meth is for the lower classes, generally.

Though, Ft. Mac is literally blanketed in coke. Young men, high income, low education = coke,booze,hookers.

Ok, maybe not blanketed. Perhaps a light haze?

My trips home over the past years have been real eye-openers. The nightlife in Edmonton has dramatically changed from being fairly red-necked and docile to extremely red-necked and aggressive. Sadly, Cook Country just ain't what it once was.
