Hmm. Is there going to be a "Cocaine Shark"[0] movie at some point? Or perhaps a "Cocaine Sharknado"?

Would these be cocaine experts or shark experts? I always wondered what the journalistic bar is when calling someone an expert.
Calling cocaine a 'hallucinatory drug'? Using concentrated fish powder to 'simulate' cocaine? This all being done to produce some segment for Shark Week?

How come whenever drugs are a topic, journalistic standards drop through the floor?

The authors don’t want to tip off their bosses that they have a drug habit obviously
I wonder if something similar might explain the recent aggressive behaviour of orcas.
