This puts the “white” in “Great White.”

Move over “Cocaine Bear.” Brazilian scientists have discovered traces of nose candy, caffeine and painkillers in sharks swimming in waters around the Bahamas.

These “blow-fish” aren’t getting hooked on purpose — it’s the fallout from an uptick in marine pollutants, per an a-jaw-calyptic study published in the journal Environmental Pollution.

Pharmaceuticals and illicit drugs are increasingly recognized as contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) in marine environments, particularly in areas undergoing rapid urbanization and tourism-driven development,” the researchers wrote while describing the troubling shark-otics trend.

expecting hollyweird to release a Cocaine Shark movie to follow the Cocaine Bear; or maybe they've already done that in the Sharknado series

I can’t imagine that there are enough ppm of cocaine to have any effect on a shark. We’re talking the Caribbean, not the little plastic pool in white trash yards.

They found the same a couple of years ago with sharks off the coast of Brazil. The New York Times had a classic headline about it: "Not Afraid of Sharks? Well, Now they're on Cocaine."

What? It's not like they're smoking pot. Cocaine makes you happy, not give you the munchies.
