“The study authors say more research is needed to confirm and explain the link.”
So, no useful conclusion yet then. MP, this is non-information. Are you all going to be taking a long weekend this week? So you need to pack up your website with a few more articles? Is that it?
Apperently many Argentines prefer a little 'paco' to get them through the day...
Mar 08th, 2015 - 02:13 am - Link - Report abuse 0”Cocaine paste is very popular through several South American countries including Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay and is referred to as paco or pasta base (in Uruguay and Chile). In 2007, crackdowns in Peru and Bolivia forced traffickers to move to Argentina to produce cocaine which, according to the Los Angeles Times, is ideal for its “advanced chemical industry, [its] porous border with Bolivia and a notoriously corrupt police force.” Eventually, this prompted traffickers to sell their byproduct to locals.[5] The use underscores a significant shift in both Argentina and its larger neighbour Brazil, which in just a few years have become sizable cocaine consumers. Brazil now ranks as the second largest total consumer of cocaine in the world after the United States, per the United States Department of State.
In Argentina, cocaine paste used to go for about 30 cents (in USD) a dose, enough for a powerful two-minute high.[9] However, lately, its price has gone up as a result of a higher demand, among other causes.[10]
Between 2001 and 2005, the use of paco in Argentina increased by 200%, with more than 150,000 young people taking it regularly.[6][11] A report by the Transnational Institute states that it is difficult to know the exact nature of this substance and its effects and that they could “neither confirm nor discount the various hypotheses offered in those cities”.[1] The drug is also the most used among the general population in Brazil, according to a poll.[citation needed] Of those who admitted they were drug users, 47 percent took paco, with marijuana, cocaine and substances such as glue lagging far behind.”

Unfortunately, I think he isn't taking enough.
Yet. arf!
I'm sure when the lights go out, and the food shortages kick-in, and they have to keep the “Malvinas” dream alive, those narco-traffikers in Govt will allow the supply to flow a little more freely...
(ref: vnzla, it's happenning now, I have family there. I know the outcome.)
It seems like one of these wonder breakthroughs that are announced monthly as the elixir of life. How do they square the fact that caffeine is not particularly good for the heart and taken in excessive amounts can kill.
