      The cans are supposed to be sunburn relief medication. You can find similar IRL which is legal and contains lidocaine. Lidocaine is a common adulterant in cut cocaine because of its numbing properties. In the story, the sunburn spray is alleged to have cocaine instead of lidocaine, which can be extracted by separating it from the oils by spraying it into a plastic bag and freezing it.

    Considering cigarettes can go for $70 a packet and a bottle of whiskey will cost up upwards of $60 here in the great bastion of freedom that is Australia, I would say that cocaine is a much more viable alternative. Weed certainly is.
    How insane is it that street drugs are cheaper than legal drugs.

      And that's $60 for a bottle of paint stripper. If you want something half decent it's well over $100. The Government excise (tax) comprises a fair bit of it, but hey, funding has to come from somewhere.
      Given how much of a load smoking and drinking related health problems put on the public health system it's probably fair to expect the people who smoke and drink the most to pay the most. I don't drink much at all (the last case of beer I bought lasted 10 months) and I don't smoke at all (well, not tobacco anyway) so I'm cool with paying a bit extra if I have to.
      It is pretty mad that illicit drugs, as expensive as they are, are cheaper than the legal ones. It will be interesting to see what happens when the respective governments finally wake up to themselves and legalise cannabis, that's definitely coming at some point, especially if we can restrain ourselves from voting in the backward conservatives again. Prescription weed is comparable to street weed now, believe it or not. Roughly $120 for 10 grams of 20% THC, freeze dried so it will keep for ages. Unsurprisingly the medical fraternity are campaigning heavily against legalisation, I can't imagine why, lol. They just switched from opioids to cannabis and they are addicted to the income stream. If prescription cannabis goes on the PBS it will be like $30 for 10 grams, no street dealer could ever compete with that. But of course the government will stuff it up, there's nothing surer.
