Quantities of cocaine and Benzoylecgonine - a metabolite of cocaine - are high throughout the week, with only a slight increase around the weekend. This line is not comparable with drug use in other cities, "the researchers said in their report. According to the researchers, London is seen as a major consumer of the drugs.
The research report was released with a second report, which was published by the University of Naples. It showed that eels showed 'hyperactive' behavior when cocaine was thrown into the water.
