The supply of cocaine in the capital is falling, with dealers now looking for alternative powders to make money.
London News went undercover and found many new users of the drug are snorting protein powder and not cocaine.
We spoke to Paul, a frequent user of the drug who said, “I’m on it every day bruv. I’m absolutely buzzing, although many of my friends’ comment about how buff I look”.
Detective Superintendent Charlie Austin from Sunhill police said, “This is great. If everyone can start snorting protein powder, it will make our men tougher and stronger, probably stronger than Russia. We’re speaking to South American governments to ship more in”.
If you’re ordering coke, check the packet and make sure it is what it says it is.
