Successful undercover operations around the world have sent wholesale cocaine prices soaring, the BBC reports. With wholesale prices at a record high — £45,000 per kilo, up from £35,000 a year ago — dealers are digging through the cabinets under their sink and adding in fun diluting agents like cockroach insecticide and pet worming powder.

Street prices are remaining the same as a result of the creative recipes, but the end result is shit. A third of the coke confiscated in the UK is 9% pure, the lowest level ever recorded. Since this information comes from the UK, for all we know the situation might not be as dire here in the US. So if Obama ever wants a chance to make up for his flaccid iPod gift to the Queen, maybe he can slip her an 8-ball of his own coca negra brand next time they meet.
