Levamisole has increasingly been used as a cutting agent in cocaine sold in the US and Canada. In 2008?2009, levamisole was found in 69% of cocaine samples seized by the US Drug Enforcement Administration.[3] Levamisole adds bulk and weight to powdered cocaine (whereas other adulterants will produce smaller "rocks" of cocaine) and makes the drug appear more pure[9] In a series of investigative articles for The Stranger, Brendan Kiley details other theories about levamisole's rise as an adulterant: possible stimulant effects, a similar appearance to cocaine and an ability to pass street purity tests.[10]
