That is going to likely end whatever relationship was being developed up there, that's Sinaloa product, they have always worked in Canada, esp. Vancouver. This is bigger then loads coming up from Colombia TO Mexico, to cross into the US. This is beyond anything ever seen, as far as quantity being seized.
And in one sentence, this post is all that is needed to show just how fukked up the failure of the war on drugs is.
Legalize it, educate people and let's go back to when this was all legal and the money usually allocated to giving police armored cars to fight the black market can go into shyt that could actually improve the fukking Country.
The whole "this is your brain on drugs" shyt, although well intentioned, was so inaccurate and damaging to society that most people believe most users of drugs are addicts and one hit of a drug turns you into an addict when, in actuality:
Most first time drug users never try the drug again - National Survey of Drug Use and HealthCompare the percentage of the population who've reported using cocaine at least once in their lifetime to the amount reportedly who used in the last year and the last month.
I did my own breakdown based on the data. In 2013, it was reported that illicit drug users - defined as members of the population age 12 & older who used drugs within a month of the survey - totaled 24.6 million. And of those 24.6 million who are illicit drug users, in 2013 only 3.4 million of them had a substance dependence or abuse problem. That gives us the only 13% of illicit drug users have a dependence or abuse problem. Imagine if they further divided dependence and abuse numbers.
The biggest addiction this Country has is its addiction to the benefits of a few in fighting the war on drugs - forfeiture of assets derived from the drug trade, police/lawyers/judges who get employment b/c the the justice system is overwhelmed with drug arrests and investigations, taxpayer money granted to state's to fight the war on drugs.
Miseducation is what prevents society from realizing how fukked up the narrative is. Take Morphine, a schedule II narcotic that is considered a HIGHLY ADDICTIVE substance. Yet, when we are admitted to the hospital after an injury and hooked up to the IV... how many of the millions of hospital patients turn into microwave stealing addicts? Almost no one, right? So many factors go into how dangerous drugs can be. Questions like that really inspired me to passionately educate myself of drug reform.
