  1. Great catch Yanqui, but that's just a tiny dent on the war on drugs. I am sure the drug mules will be serving time, in jail then deported back to Mexico.

  2. Isn't it illegal to bring cheese into the US? If so, and that's where it was going, not the best plan. Contraband inside contraband.

  4. So who do they send weed to? If its to the states where it is still illegal, i assume the price there dropped since Mexican weed is not as potent as strains found in the legal states, also wouldnt it be much easier to traffick weed from legal states to non legal states? Less risk and lower cost to smuggle across states than country?

  5. I would not necessarily assume any more that all mexican mota is not potent. Alot of more sophisticated strains have migrated south. They are not all that stupid. There is alot of experimentation going on plus light dep happening.
