Red Bull proibida en Alemania y Jordania

Seis estados alemanes han ordenado a los comerciantes para sacaren la Red Bull Cola de sus tiendas despues de un estudio descubrir que la bebida contiene residuos de cocaina.

Red Bull ha protestado en contra de la decisión y afirma que lo extracto "descocaineizado" de hoja de coca que es utilizado para acentuar el sabor de la bebida es completamente inofensivo. Bernhard Kuehnle, director del departamento de seguridad alimentar en lo ministerio federal para la protección del consumidor confirma que “no hay peligro”, pero los legisladores locales consideran la bebida un ‘narcótico’ en vez de un producto alimentar. Es previsto que los demás 13 estados alemanes sigan la orden legal y que prohiban también las ventas de la bebida.
Una lata de Red Bull Cola contiene cerca de 0.4 micro gramas de cocaína. (Un micro grama es un millonésimo de grama). Para que la bebida sea considerada peligrosa, 100,000 litros tendrían de ser consumidos.

En Jordania las autoridades no arriscan. Según el Jordan Times todos los productos Red Bull han sido retirados del mercado y la importación de la bebida cafeteada esta suspensa. El presidente de la Asociación de Toxicologistas de Jordania dice que “beber la bebida energética con cocaína es muy peligroso si tomada con alcohol o narcóticos”. Otra afirmación ‘Mierda de Red Bull’ viene del director del Centro Nacional para la Rehabilitación, que ha dicho que “cualquiera cantidad resulta en mal uso o adición”.

I didn't know redbull had coca leaves in it.
For one, i think it's red bull's fault for not printing it on the can, i mean, you should know what you're consuming...

“drinking the energy drink with cocaine is very dangerous if it is taken with alcohol or narcotics”
should be:“drinking alcohol is very dangerous if it is taken with energydrink or narcotics”

“any quantity of cocaine results in misuse or addiction”.
UHHHH any quantity of everything can end up in misuse or addiction, i mean, humans are creatures of habit, everything we like, we would like to do it as much as we want, because we like it. (until we hate it...)

Goddamn corrupt politicians and toxicologists, doesn't anyone work for better of mankind anymore? is all about money and bribes?.....

Much as I oppose drug criminalization in general, this I believe is a good thing. Frankly, whether this has to do with any microscopic traces of cocaine or merely the insanely high caffeine and sugar levels, Red Bull typically is consumed as a kind of legal crank, not unlike the original Coca Cola. Again, it is not surprising that our society criminalizes psychoactive plants, yet drugs of the “upper” variety – alcohol, nicotine and particularly caffeine - are readily available, often provided for ‘free,” even, e.g. by employers.

Crank makes people more aggressively one-dimensional; obedient workers, soldiers and shoppers, without all the human complexities hampering productivity. It gives the user a feeling of increased energy, at the expense of brain functionality. I don’t know, it’s not as if I don’t enjoy a good cup of coffee myself, but the whole Red Bull craze is beyond my capacity for comprehension. I see young “urban” youths walking around with their little energy drinks all the time, looking all shady eyed, and they probably go through a dozen of the damn things a day. They are typically complete degenerates, incapable of holding an idea in their mind for more than a second. They are, in a word, the ideal future employees of McDonalds.

This reminds me of the spice thingy - you buy some shit, which is supposed to be legal, but contains various other nutritients/ingredients than listed on the label/packaging. It's just stupid. Assuming Red Bull doesn't contain any illegal substances, they made a fault that would harm their name/image. There would be no problem at all, when just listing the real ingredients...

I think many mothers are going to ban Red Bull from their household, if they`d read this news...

@Andrey, f*** off, exploits won't work, and it's just stupid to try!

@Don Jia, your story makes sense, lots of it. Thank you for answering some of the questions I've had for a time now. Thank you for being sharp 'n awake ;)

this ban is about "red bull COLA", not about normal red bull. on the ingredients list of this cola are cocaleaves. it`s no secret for people who can read...
to get to a dose that is working somehow,
you would have to drink 100.000 liters of it,
as far as they said in tv...
a poppyseed roll is much closer to a psychotropic effect with its morphinetraces in it. allthought its nothing to worry about.
by the way, german wikipedia says:"even today coca-cola contains ingredients of cocaleaves (but not the alkaloids)."
i guess its a conspiracy of red bull colas rival, who wants all the money from the cola market. or maybe its just stupidity?
whatever?!? i like red bull cola because it contains things like cinnamon, mustardseeds and alot of other spices. seems to be quite natural compared to other recipes.

When the Coca cola ban? I think there's may be 0,001 micrograms of cocaine into it. Very addictive.
