Record High UK Cocaine Deaths

Deaths related to cocaine use in the UK have reached an all-time high, according to recent reports. This surge is attributed to the increased prevalence of "ultra strength purity" cocaine available on the market.

Analysis indicates that current purity levels can reach as high as 85 percent. This represents a significant escalation over the past ten years. Originally reported by NME.
