They do the same thing with our cities testing for traces of drugs to get a societal view of drug usage - traces come out of your system when you take a pee or a crap if you use.

Australians spent $9.3bn last year on cocaine, meth, MDMA and heroin, with cocaine and meth consumption rising from previous years.
Analysis of wastewater shows how much of each of the drugs is being consumed around the country, underlining the size of the black market.
The Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission on Wednesday released its sixth national wastewater drug monitoring program report, which monitored 58 wastewater stations in July and August 2018.
It estimates more than 9.6 tonnes of methylamphetamine was consumed in Australia in the year to August 2018, along with four tonnes of cocaine, 1.1 tonnes of MDMA, and more than 700kg of heroin.
