    I love how they have to note it was “fake space x packaging.” I don’t believe that for a second. This was probably elons weekend stash and he is going to be quite upset.

    I remember when a business jet packed to the gills with cocaine crashed and when they investigated, it turned out to be owned by a CIA shell company and previously used to shuttle people to Guantanamo for torture after an extraordinary rendition

      I thought no fucking way they found over 7000lb of cocaine on a little business jet but yeah, that Gulfstream could probably barely take off with that much on board. That’s one badass airframe.

        Cocaine production in latin America has never been higher, it’s dropped the price by huge amounts and now they are looking outside the USA to sell since the USA decided to kill their own economy.

        You don’t have to move fent. You can make it locally. The fent is usually mixed with other drugs, a little bit of cocaine could be laced with a whole lot of fent and then sold as pure cocaine to maximize profit.

            Truth be told I have no idea what’s actually popular now, but when fentanyl hit the scene, for years it was being mixed into other drugs as a cheap filler that would also make the drug more potent, faster acting and more addictive.

      Well, I was workin’ on my farm 'bout 1982

      Pullin’ up some corn and a little carrot, too

      When two low-flying aeroplanes, 'bout a hundred feet high

      Dropped a bunch of bales of somethin’, some hit me in the eye

      So I cut a bale open, and man, was I surprised

      Bunch of large sized baggies with big white rocks inside

      So I took a little sample to my crazy brother Joe

      He sniffed it up and kicked his heels, said, “Horton, that’s some blow”

      **Bales of cocaine fallin’ from low-flyin’ plane

      I don’t know who done dropped 'em, but I thank 'em just the same

      Bales of cocaine, fallin’ like the pourin’ rain

      My life changed completely by the low-flyin’ planes**

      So I loaded up them bales in my pick-em-up truck

      Headed west for Dallas, where I would try my luck

      I didn’t have a notion if I could sell 'em there

      30 minutes later, I was a millionaire
