Yeah, because when I go to Peru for vacation or business, I always bring back with me boxes and boxes of cake mix. You just can't get the quality cake mix in the U.S. that you find in Peru.

Nothing suspicious here!

Sweet Peruvian cake mix.

Peru: the confectioners Mecca.

Customs officers said $1.5 million of coke was found in bags inside the 24 boxes.

Yeah, somebody's gonna die.

How quickly would the drug lords fall, the crime rate diminish and the tax benefits soar if the government controlled distribution of recreational drugs?

I'll say it again: logical arguments and valid points have no place in drug policy!

Theres a rumor Betty Crocker started out this way.

On a lighter note; I reside across from a college campus, with a good view of the parking lot. Last week the police had their drug sniffing dog walking around each vehicle after lunch break. When the dog jumped up on the vehicle, the officer would walk to the rear and radio in the licence number. Lately I've noticed a few extra spaces available. So all of you up and cummer's remember, not to return to classes, reeking of devil weed. MmmmKay!

Maybe baking soda boxes would have worked better. Although, maybe that has been done before.

I actually used to play this game, guess who's a tweaker(?), at my coffee shop job. I would put white chocolate powder into a small baggy (that was at one point used for weed) and place it in slightly unnoticeable places. Of course, I found out it was one of my co-workers who snatched up the bag and tried it out.

That's almost as stupid as having them be illegal.

/yeah, Peruvian cake mix is a white powder, you can't get that in Toronto
//it's in bags to preserve the unique mix of flavors
///it numbs your tongue because it's THAT DAMN GOOD

I thought "tweaker" was for meth.

So, even by your judgement it's an improvement. Why is a more controlled, above board distibution of a controlled substance such a stupid idea? Works for tobacco and alcohol...

I misinterpreted what you said. I thought you meant the government directly controlling the supply, production, and sale, which would be retarded. Having them be like alcohol would be a huge improvement, though I'm not too much a fan of any regulations at all, given that I've yet to see proof that they do more than they cost.

$1.5 million of coke was found but only 12 kilograms were seized... either:

A: The cops snorted another 31 kilos.
- or -
B: They are REALLY bad at math.
- or -
C: They are overstating it's value by three times because even the finest coke only has a street value of 35,000 per kilo.

Good for you. I mean it, not being snarky. Visited someone in a drug rehab this weekend. Not a nice experience. I'm very depressed after my visit.

The cake is a lie.

 
demanton [TotalFark] 2008-05-11 07:35:44 AM  
Uh, hey man, do you have any, uh, "cake mix"?

Yeah, man, how many "cakes" are you baking?

Wait, what were we talking about?

 
Hacker_X 2008-05-11 07:47:24 AM  
Having never personally seen large amounts of coke myself I can't be certain but it seems to me that a couple of bags of powdered sugar would work better than cake mix. Especially if you used smaller bags in the center of the outer bag incase they decided to open one to make sure it was sugar. Not sure how that would look on an xray machine though.

And there is another question. Why don't people smuggling MILLIONS of dollars worth of drugs bother with buying there own xray machine to test their planned smuggling methods to see if they are going to show up in some obvious way at the airport. This person wasn't caught in such a way but many of the ones busted at an airport are.

Arguments for the decriminalization of hard drugs like cocaine are a huge fail.

1) Tobacco doesn't give you anywhere NEAR the high that illicit drugs do. It takes a long time to develop a nicotine addiction. Crack cocaine is instantly addictive. Do it once, and you NEED it again very soon. And you think we should just let people willy-nilly be allowed to smoke it up? Yeh, that'll work. And of course illegal drug dealers will disappear. Right? Then why are cigarettes still run illegally? Why are there still illegal moonshine runs? Hmmm... because there is MONEY in it, which means there are criminals involved. ALWAYS. Decriminalization will not get rid of the seedy underbelly.

2) Alcohol is WAY to expensive to mass produce and distribute easily. Sure, you have your little moonshine operations, but there is no way to easily make and distribute massive quantities of liquor to distribute nationally. Cocaine is VERY easy to do so, because of its potency. I has a VERY high price tag per gram. VERY easy to distribute. VERY east to make money.

3) Criminal organizations don't just pack up and go home when something is legal. Gucci bags, batteries, and baby formula are all produced and sold illegal through black market channels. BABY FOOD FOR fark'S SAKE! And you think decriminalization of cocaine will make the problems go away? You are just opening pandoras box, telling everyone that it's okay to get addicted to a heavy narcotic and screw up you life, and everyone else's life around you.

guytoronto,

No it is not.

guytoronto: but there is no way to easily make and distribute massive quantities of liquor to distribute nationally.

What?

 
Jacques Lestrap 2008-05-11 08:49:11 AM  
Would decriminalization and controlled distribution dramatically reduce the income of street dealers, backyard labs and material suppliers? Absolutely.

If rational people could safely access a controlled potency product in a controlled and cheaper environment would they do this rather than buy unproven product illegally? Mostly.

Would lots less people be in jail for stupid crimes supporting mostly overseas criminals like the one in TFA? Definately.

Would the populace benefit from lower drug crime and higher tax income from product that is already being purchased and consumed in mass amounts anyway? Yes

/if tobacco was illegal it would cost lots more and 16 year olds would be in jail for possession of marlboro's. cigarettes are run illegally to avoid state taxes, there are many more people selling dope than running smokes.
/alcohol was illegal and the criminal element thrived on it.prohibition ended and they moved on.

Usually when they talk about "street value" they mean "how much it would sell for after completely broken down and sold per dose" or whatever. I find they normally assign a value of $100/gram when it comes to cocaine. I'm not sure what it NORMALLY goes for (I thought somewhere around $80/gram), but even $100/gram works out to 1.2 million, so their estimate isn't far off. Plus you have to inflate the estimate to be melodramatic about how important the bust is.

You're just spouting out words, aren't you. I mean, seriously- do you have any clue what you're saying? Here's a hint: cocaine is not a narcotic.

Does the DARE site now link to Fark? One hit of crack and your life is over? You are gonna tell us that the black market for cigs and moonshine is equal to the illicit drug trade? Whatever, dude, pass that shiat over my way...

Hey, I always fly with 24 boxes of cake mix. What's strange about that?

Sheesh, you'd think with $1.5 mill at stake, they'd buy a few extra boxes and scrap the ones that were glued sloppy.
