Hazmat Situation At White House Leaves Unanswered Questions

-

Around the same time an unidentified assailant detonated three explosive devices and threw one Molotov cocktail at , D.C. businesses, Secret Service ordered the evacuation of the grounds. Agents discovered what was initially reported as an “unknown item” and closed down the surrounding streets.

A hazmat team and multiple fire engines responded as a precaution.

An investigation by D.C. Emergency Medical Services (EMS) determined the substance was “cocaine hydrochloride,” which it deemed “non-hazardous.”

While cocaine hydrochloride is used in two FDA-approved nostril-numbing agents, Numbrino and Goprelto, prior to surgery, in its solid form, it's best known as cocaine or coke.

It's unclear if nasal spray or a bag of something was found by the White House, where President Biden's scandal-plagued son currently resides.

But there are other problems with the local anesthetic theory, as RedState further reports:

Even if the “medical product” story didn't have the glaring issue that powdered cocaine doesn't actually have FDA approval, the legal available on the market are rarely used. The Drug Enforcement Administration published a fact sheet in 2020 stating that the FDA approved drugs are less effective than other products on the market and rarely used:

Which drugs cause similar effects? Other stimulants, such as amphetamine and methamphetamine, cause effects similar to cocaine that vary mainly in degree. What is its legal status in the United States? Cocaine is a Schedule II drug under the Controlled Substances Act, meaning it has a high potential for abuse and has an accepted medical use for treatment in the United States. Cocaine hydrochloride solution (4 percent and 10 percent) is used primarily as a topical local anesthetic for the upper respiratory tract. It also is used to reduce bleeding of the mucous membranes in the mouth, throat, and nasal cavities. However, more effective products have been developed for these purposes, and cocaine is now rarely used medically in the United States.

  1. Come on, Hunter is the only one uses coke. Stop trying to blame it on a someone else. He knew where to throw it. Just hope it wasn’t Joe Biden going it.

  2. Gift for Hunter
    other staffers
    But how did package get to WH since all mail goes into offsite processing center then the WH

  3. Maybe a disgruntled loony left-wing liberal Democrat voter, not happy with the way his/her/it’s agendas are getting trampled right now?

    If so, not to worry. The lame stream fake-news media will bury the story in short order, and we won’t hear about it again.
