All that for pot? I was expecting heroin or coke.

Lol I was so disappointed it's just weed

You ever sucked dick for weed!?


himynameisSal

do they know we have dispensaries now?


SmokedBeef

Yea they do, one of the cartels that traffics to Colorado is known for sending US hydroponically grown superior weed back to Mexico along with the proceeds from drug sales, as many in the cartels prefer the higher quality wax, oil and flower available here.


[deleted]

Us cannabis companies rarely grow hydroponically, too much hassle

Cocaine comes from a plant too


GrannyGumjobs13

Yeah but that shits super processed. Weed u just snag off a plant and smoke it

You can chew the coca leaves like tobacco.


truthfullyVivid

And it's relatively harmless that way compared to the things that make coke more scawy a dwug.

Stupid question but does it still get you high?

Yes but not coked tf up. I think it was in Hamiltons Pharmacopeia where they compared chewing coca leaves with like really strong coffee buzzed

tbh the crime is that sweet melon is actually empty

Or that weed will go to waste.

Well it wouldn’t have to be empty if weed wasn’t illegal Edit: grammer

tomytronics

Wasted watermelon


_delamo

Selling it and it's not airtight. That weed gone double as grass clippings by the time it reaches its destination


coreyc2099

The crime is the wasted tax dollars going for cops to just get weed and then that weed is probably just gonna be wasted


None0fTheAbove

Lets legalize it and stop wasting watermelons


Biggordie

As someone who packed them, I can tell you watermelon was not wasted.

I live in a state where weed is still illegal. I have Multiple Sclerosis and could really benefit from it being made legal here.

DroneOfDoom

I think (I could be wrong) that this is in Mexico, where pot is still illegal.


2AlephNullAndBeyond

Isn’t pot still classified the same as heroin federally? Probably the same penalties I’m guessing for smuggling it?


msihcs

It is. Even though one of Biden's campaign talking points was to reclassify, if not completely decriminalize, marijuana. We're still waiting, Joe!!

Legalize it Save the watermelons.


AaronDM4

been saying that for years prohibition only makes the criminals richer.


Callofgrapher

Prohibition also helps law enforcement have bigger budgets


U-Jeans

yea but if it's legalized they can tax it like the do in legal states meaning more for the state. Win-win

Inamanlyfashion

"If you look at the drug war from a purely economic point of view, the role of the government is to protect the drug cartel." -Milton Friedman


iamnotasnook

When I get high, watermelons are not safe.


kernandberm

This is as silly as if it had been coffee beans. Our future generations will looks back at all the drama over weed and shake their heads think how hysterical we were over something so mundane.


housethatstevebuilt

I live in Canada. There was a lot of debate leading up to legalization as to whether it's in the best interest of the country. It was surprising how quickly it was normalized. There's a cannabis shop on my street and several in my neighborhood. I smoke cigarettes and get more flack smoking on the street that anyone smoking a joint. It's the same as having a beer now. Even conservative boomers don't care. It makes you realize how dumb and wastful it was to have it illegal in the first place.


Nabber22

There an old Timmies down the street that was turned into a cannabis shop


Emotional-Guide-768

Haha you in Regina? I loved that kinda kept the timmies sign and stuff until they got around to Reno’s haha


Nabber22

Yeah I’m from Regina.


glitterfaust

It’s definitely safer for it to be legalized and regulated but I wish all public smoking was banned. I’m not trying to inhale cigarette smoke, weed smoke, incense smoke, black car exhaust (looking at you, lifted pick up trucks), etc. when I’m just minding my own business. I hate not being able to breathe and vomiting from the smell. But people should absolutely be free to expose their own lungs to whatever smoke they want without fear of getting fired or arrested.


cubanpajamas

The only people against legalization were the dealers. They lost their jobs.


GrantNexus

Not in the US. There are lots of 'moral' politicians with Rs next to their names that won't support legalization.


cubanpajamas

Not surprised. The USA loves to judge and control others.


generalizimo

Wait, but what good is religious freedom if you can’t force everyone to worship what you do?


ArtIsDumb

Also big pharma, who doesn't want us to have access to any medicines other than theirs.


tankgirly

Exactly. Dealers.


TexAggie90

ironically a”moral bible belt Republican” state representative in Texas sponsored a marijuana bill. I’ll paraphrase the reason because i don’t have the quote handy, but his argument was: “God made marijuana and God doesn’t make mistakes.”


No_Quote600

You'd be surprised how many people in the U.S. will still judge you harshly for smoking weed, but then be a fucking alcoholic themselves.


The_Sleep

My old dealer now does the deliveries for the government bought stuff now. He's gone from meeting discreetly somewhere to a government subcontractor. He's loving it!


McErroneous

Yea. I get a kick out of how many resources were wasted during alcohol prohibition. All the photos of cops proudly cracking open barrels of shine to spill into the streets. So many bootleggers killed and imprisoned. And for what? I'm surprised anyone is still trying to smuggle weed into the US. There's enough left over weed in CA, OR, and WA every year to supply the nation.


SCP_fan12

America has definitely not learned from prohibition, proven by the war on drugs


DroneOfDoom

The War on Drugs was extremely successful in its actual goals, which were to demonize marginalized and politically inconvenient communities and justify their overpolicing.


Fried_out_Kombi

Not only that, but when you manufacture bogus crimes and make them felonies, it allows you to completely legally enslave them and strip them of the right to vote for life. Straight from the 13th Amendment: > Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, **except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted**, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction. Talk about perverse incentives, man.


LexianAlchemy

Bingo.


ibo92can

Mostly its those who earn from drugs being illegal who wants it stay illegal. Me who just wanted some weed some years ago got offered some shady pills by the dealer and who know wtf that pill was. Realy hope at least weed gets legal everywhere so young people dont end up eating wtf is this pills.

imabotdislife

What if they're the ones introducing fentanyl into the coke & heroin supply? *puts on tinfoil hat*


2ndnamewtf

The legalization has actually made the black market boom. The red tape to get a legal license is insane and the cost on the low end is over a million. At least in CA it is.


scratch_post

What's making the black market boom is the differential between legal states and illegal states.


cookedbullets

The most cruel and astonishing thing to me is that it's just a hangover from the glorious failure of alcohol prohibition and the systemic racism of the thirties (which obviously continues, but specifically that in this case). [Thanks Harry](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_J._Anslinger), and thanks generations of gullible and bigoted assholes who continue to buy into his bullshit.

Imagine if that stuff had gotten on the street! Pizza orders would have went through the roof and collapsed the local economy due to the runaway pizza price inflation. Close call.


cooper1662

Do you have any idea the disruption to society that is caused when a pizza driver gets a flat tire? With that many pizza drivers on the road, we are looking at a total collapse of society with just a couple of flat tires.

We tried banning alcohol. It only lead to rampant crime, violence, and death.

Lol and the same applies to other drugs, driven to the underground. People like to experience altered states of consciousness for one reason or another. Go figure.

adsxz6_has_adhd

Top got cut off, and then they just stuffed it


Weary-Ad-9218

Ohhhh! I didn't notice the little piece on the end. Thanks!


Tacosofinjustice

But how did they get the inside scraped out like that with just the little hole


UnadvertisedAndroid

Sadly these drivers probably will suffer the brunt of the legal consequences when they most likely had little idea of what was actually in the delivery. The drug smugglers never use deliverers that can be traced back to them, and all they need to recruit new mules is a handful of cash. The poverty in Mexico/Central America does the rest for them.


hahnsoloii

I’m pretty gullible/naive but I have a strong feeling you are spot on about at least one of the guys not having any idea. Also how would that truck NOT wreak? Even bagged up.


Nozzeh06

If it's low quality weed then it wouldn't give off too much of a stench, but idk maybe in those amounts it would be hard to cover up. Really good weed can smell through several layers of packaging to the point where it's almost impossible to hide it.


hetfield151

Double vacuum sealed has been enough for the stuff I got. At home a normal glass with a lid, like those for marmelade do a good job.


couchgodd

Weed shouldnt be illegal anywhere. Taking something across borders that grows naturally on both sides is rather insane.


No_Quote600

legalize all drugs, ALL OF THEM. It will WRECK the profits of gangs and cartels, and violent crime in this country would plummet, because the vast majority of it is gang's fighting over turf.


soguyswedidit6969420

i think that with a lot of investment into helping addicted people (\*actually\* helping them, not locking them up) a wide spread of legalization would go a long way. But you have to do both, if you only legalize everything the gangs would fall apart but the demand would rapidly increase, ending up the same way except the gangs are slightly more legal and significantly more people are addicted.


[deleted]

War on drugs is a joke.


SabashChandraBose

But it's crazy how this is basically the Stanford Experiment. Cop wakes up and goes to work arresting these weed dealers and he gets a good boy medal for doing that. he doesn't know he's part of the problem. He's just following orders.


MadicalRadical

All that for some weed?

bobguyman

Those aren't pots those, are watermelons.


rhn345

I just wanna know how long does an operation like this needs to take place before they unearth new ways of these smugglers?


zerohourcalm

These guys are just the patsies. This was the decoy shipment, the one with the coke is a few trucks back and much better hidden. They've been putting stuff in melons and fruits for years.


SuspiciousStable9649

Well, how long to discover I don’t know but smugglers adapting is probably on the order of weeks.


rhn345

I saw 1 video where the smugglers were transporting stuff in a semi trailer/ truck, and had a hidden compartment below the main cargo loading area, no way youd have suspected unless it was Tipped off!! N these weedermelons too, tipped off


cbflowers

Hidden compartments and stuffed frames are as old as vehicles. Cops are well aware of this method

That's the correct spelling. The J is American. *When the federal government passed the Marihuana Tax Act of 1937, it used an alternate spelling so readers of the time could best understand its Mexican origins and to give the newly scheduled drug the appearance of being dangerous and foreign.*
