Medical reports from Harbor-UCLA Medical Center highlight a trend of cocaine contaminated with levamisole, a livestock dewormer that causes skin necrosis and "rotting flesh." The hosts speculate that the government may be using these health scares to push users toward other substances or to maintain control over the drug supply.

Reports of cocaine laced with Levamisole, a veterinary deworming agent that causes flesh-eating skin reactions, have resurfaced. The hosts jokingly suggest this is a government tactic to push users toward heroin, which is sourced from U.S.-controlled poppy fields in Afghanistan. They frame the drug trade as a competition between different government-backed warlords.
