Or something else, with which metabolites of narcotic substances are released with the body. What can be done with the waste of one particular person, then you can undertake to take waste from a whole community of anonymous citizens.

Samples of sewage were taken by students at 15 filtration stations of various settlements of South Australia. In sewer fluids, researchers were looking for stimulating drugs – cocaine, ecstasy and methamphetamine.
And this is what turned out after magic with test tubes and flasks. According to Professor Rodney Irwin, who led the experiment, in South Australia, people use 10 times more ecstasy than in Europe. But cocaine – 10 times less.
Young Australian scientists managed to figure out the “schedule” of drug administration by the Australians within a week. For this sample of sewer masses, they took separately – on working and weekends. It turned out that it is ecstasy that is used just in the weekend, when the Australians go to picnics and dances. And the inhabitants of the Green Continent indulge in cocaine and meta every day-most likely, due to the addictive potential of these stimulants.
