Reading the article in today's First Post about about the use of WD-40 to stop cocaine abuse it's easy to see how often the newspapers distort the truth.
Their line reads
"Well, apparently when cocaine comes into contact with WD-40 the resultant mixture, if sniffed, will cause every blood vessel in the nose to explode."
But, according to
http://www.cocaine-addiction.co.uk/index.php?p=21&c=1"A chemical reaction takes place with the cocaine that causes it to congeal and become a mess so it's unusable," a police spokesman said. "It's one very small, very cheap way in which you can very seriously restrict the amount of drug use in your premises."
