That is not that much. In May they caught my neighbor in Cantu with 14,000 lbs in his garage. He said his son let some friends put it there and he
didn't know about it.

Seven TONS. You'd think he would have noticed the large trucks pulling up to unload.

Word is that they brought it in by pick up from Arbolitos. Seems one of the drivers didn't get paid and blew the whistle. They just got the minions.
The Jefe's are still in business.

I always thought it was kinda funny that in Guerrero Negro when Sirenita was in primary school they loaded all the little kids into a big bus and took
em out to the military base to watch the huge bonfire when they burn all the pot! The kids love that field trip but come back a little bleary eyed and
to ward off the munchies, they fed all the kids in the cafeteria! They didn't even ask the parents or anything, she just came home from school one day
smelling of pot (not that I would know what it smells like) and told me about the fun trip they had that afternoon.....gotta love baja

La marijuana
Excuse me, but 14,000 pounds of weed (even if it was sinsemilla) would not fit in a "garage".
You would need a rather large bodega to store that much.
And, yes, I know from experience.

Arbolitos is and has been a landing spot for drugs and Chinese restaurant cooks. It's been going on for years.
So, let's see here.......The area, Arbolitos, is a chronic landing spot. The police know this. The military knows this. The area is less than a
mile wide. It continues to be a hot area and the authorities continue to apply surveillance to the area.
Are we supposed to be impressed?
I can't wait to see how impressive these interdictors will be after the United States adds 3/4 of a billion dollars to the Mexican bankroll in our
effort to fight the enemy.
It won't be enough.

The most efficient way of eliminating this "crime" of catering to America's appetite for intoxicants is simply to de-criminalize it, just as we have
for alcohol.
No fence will curb the appetite, and it's certainly not the businessman's fault for supplying the U.S. demand.
Marijuana is not my intoxicant of choice, but I have a hard time passing judgment on those who prefer it--I'm pretty well convinced that it is no more
harmful than the Scotch that I do prefer; and what if it was? Is it my business what those people do in the privacy of their homes? There are
already laws on the books to prevent people from driving under the influence of any intoxicants, and I've seen hundreds more people get into social
trouble on alcohol than on marijuana, which seems to make people less agressive, rather than more.

Those are the numbers the newspaper put out. You didn't think I went and weighed it myself did you. It is a large garage.

The Hells Angels used to keep the recipe a closely guarded secret. The secret is now out. Now, it is cheaper than Coke, lasts much longer, and if
you are so inclined you can make it yourself. They are trying to make it harder to obtain the psudo ephedrine that you need to make it, at least here
in the US. In Mexico enforcement is much harder and the chemicals needed are much easier to come by. We all know it is nothing to get contraband
across the border, but Mexico is also having their own problems with it now because of all the things I mentioned above.

Minnow is correct that the Hells Angels controlled illicit methamphetamine production for many years, until fairly recently. The motto was, "If you
cook meth, you cook it for the Angels, or you don't cook any more." I once looked through the wallet of a fellow who had a very ornate and
professionally produced laminated card that read, "Hell's Angels Certified Crank Cooker." That was good for a giggle.
So yes, now with everyone from the organized Mexican groups to the local crank-head cooking the stuff the price has gone down and the
availability up, and the guy looking for a cheap high will usually take what's available. It is, of course, fairly addictive, so consumption will
resemble an inverted pyramid as more users are brought on-line.
But, the thought that this was never a common drug is misleading, in my opinion. Amphetamines have been around a long time and doctors in the
50’s and 60’s prescribed tons of them under the trade names Benzedrine, Benzedrex, Dexedrine, and Dextrostat, for everything from weight loss,
narcolepsy, attention disorders, depression, and just as a general “pick-me-up.” I think the Stones song “Mother’s Little Helper” had these drugs in
mind, probably combined with a barbituate, which was marketed as Dexamyl. They were available on the street as Bennies and with stacks of little
white tabs rolled in foil, but I don’t remember what they were called. Truckers probably still use them today.
All of these drugs (except Dexamyl) are just legalized methamphetamine, and many doctors still prescribe them today.
