Recently, Spanish police seized a shit load of cocaine in various drug busts -- well over 100 kilos of the white powder. As they were done with whatever they needed to use the evidence for, the cops were getting ready to destroy the seized drugs and, per their usual policy, they conducted a final substance analysis. Which, as a spokesman explained it, "revealed that the substance was not drugs but a harmless material resembling the drug, like talcum powder."
