Yes, you read that correctly,

"U.S. border patrol officers find 33 cans of marijuana in the desert near the border that they believe were fired from a cannon in Mexico."

The cartels will send guys over in little flying machines and they have little to no experience a lot of them crash, and some die. They have also been know to cut open dogs stomachs and put thousands of dollars worth of black tar herion underneath their skin. If any package erupts its instant death.

I'm pretty sure the writers at the atlantic know that and were just being funny. Most of their summaries are full of snark.

meanwhile, while authorities waste their time with $42,000 worth of cannon fired marijuana, Mexican cartels successfully smuggle $30,000,000 worth of cocaine in to the US.

I also liked recently when they attempted to drive an SUV over the fence. Only to get high centered on the top.

Meh, not really. It's never in bulk prices.

Ps of brick go for 500 easily in most parts of the country. Just because there is better bud that's way more prevalent thanks to more medical grows, more legal places, more people shipping... doesn't mean there aren't still a ton of people smoking dirt to mids.

Actually it's more surprising they didn't estimate it higher. It seems a lot of times they'll take the highest price that product can go for. I wouldn't be shocked if they were saying it was worth a few g's a p.


There are still ps of that stuff getting sold for much more than 5 per. And you can still make money considering plenty of zips getting sold for 80-150. If you're getting 100+ a zip, you can still kill it off of it even if you're paying close to a g. And even if you're getting it for close to 150 you can still do fine considering plenty of people are still buying it at 10 a g, 25-35 a slice.

I'm def not rooting for the cartels. Fuck them. But I def understand what's going on. They just do some fucked up shit to protect their business ventures.

I do think it's hilarious how illegal drugs are but how much shit comes over the border, and people say "we're winning the war on drugs"
