105-tonne marijuana haul

Quote:

Mexican soldiers seized 105 tonnes of marijuana with a U.S. street value of more than $340 million on Monday in Mexico's biggest-ever pot haul, the army said.

Heavily armed soldiers raided a series of homes in a poor suburb of Tijuana, across the border from San Diego, California, and came under fire at least once as they took the drugs, also arresting 11 suspected traffickers.

Troops found the narcotics wrapped in 10,000 brown and silver packages in houses and a parked truck. The marijuana was brought together from across Mexico over several months and bound for the United States.

"The seizure of these drugs is without precedent in the country," General Alfonso Duarte told reporters at a military base in Tijuana, adding that the drug was worth 4.2 billion pesos ($344 million).

Exactly how much is that anyway?

105 tonne = 231 485.375 29 lb,lbs/304,000,000= $1468.78/pound

or about $92. an ounce. It's the 1980s all over again!

Perhaps we can sell it and put the proceeds toward the deficit.

If these 'massive' busts were significant, then the street price would go up. Prices don't change. 100 tons is near zero marijuana. They make a big deal about this to maintain political lies.

Every Federal Officer I knew that was involved in this stuff would mention how ridiculous the entire enforcement thing was.

For example, profits from smuggling were so great that they buy $200,000+ speed boats. Unload the drugs in estuaries. Then burn the boat. A new boat with each delivery is cheaper than risking the same boat on two runs.

Another once joked, "We bust them by day, and smoke with them at night." Only those who 'know' using emotion would advocate marijuana restrictions.
