Well, if you're a drug tourist looking to make a buck, I'm sure they know where it's at. It's different when you're a massive drug corporation, though.

Thanks for the info nuke!

In all honesty this is pointless, sitting around here debating figures of quantities that it's unlikely few, if any, people on these boards have ever been around.

However, Nuke's post is a beautiful example of why our current approach to the drug war is, without a doubt, incapable of solving their perceived problem. When you can buy something piss cheap, sneak it across a border, and make such insanely ridiculous amounts of money, how on earth does the DEA think they can stop that?

Unfortunately it's this way for most of capitalism, the jeans you buy from China or Indonesia for $80 likely cost $2-3 in materials and labor. The fact that drugs are illegal drive up the price of them maybe 200-1000%, but as far as end level users, even if they were legal you'd still probably pay a lot (especially with taxes related to national healthcare in socialist countries, in Canada and Britain booze is marked up quite a bit because of the stress it puts on the healthcare system).

The fact that there's an enormous and continuously growing with the population demand for illegal drugs ensures their place in international markets for a long time to come.
 
Well sure, but the price a massive drug corporation is paying who is running a lab is not the same as the average price of a single kilo on the street.

Unless your name is Pablo, and your processing 10,000 kilos a month in your labs, your not getting kilos for $1,000 a piece.

Hell I can get AAA top notch $400 an ounce marijuana for $10 an ounce.

That is because I grow it.

That does not mean the average price for AAA herb in Philadelphia is $10 an ounce LOL.
 
Damn that's ballsy lurkerguy, I hope you're not posting inside the US, or are using some serious (proxy servers?) comp technology posting shit like that.
 
MOD EDIT: DO NOT POST LINKS TO OTHER DRUG RELATED SITES LIKE THIS, DO IT AGAIN AND YOU WILL BE BANNED

Well consider every prison in the entire world has at least an ounce of cocaine circulating at any one time, how in the fuck can we stop drugs in the real world, if we can't even keep drugs out of prison.

we can't. it's economics, my dear watson! The 'drug war' can either attack supply or demand. They try doing both.

Demand: They do public campaigns to decrease demand. These are laughable, and have shown practically ZERO results.

Supply: They confiscate what, 2% of the drugs coming to the country?

The bottom line is that it's unstoppable, yet instead of acknowledging that, we just keep fighting it, all the while pissing money away, locking up nonviolent offenders, decreasing the respect of police / government from the eyes of any recreatinal drug user, etc etc. It's clearly a pointless idea to continue on this way, and they know this. If they truly were concerned with results, they should either buck up and end this prohibition, or they should increase their drug war's efforts by like 1000X. I doubt the latter would even accomplish the job though (just look at countries where you get put to death for trafficking/possession of hard drugs - does the idea of capital punishment for possession deter drug use? No. So, why the hell woudl some years in american prisons deter use/sales?

I can think of a million reasons why they're not doing either of my aforementioned amendments to their drug war (ending it, or going full on), and all of them have nothign to do with what is truly beneficial to the citizens they're supposed to be serving.
 
Well since the DEA is probably paying special attention to this thread by now, I just wanted to take this opportunity to tell them:

HEY FELLAS! WHY ARE YOU READING THIS THREAD WHEN YOU COULD BE GOING AFTER THE 99% OF COCAINE THAT SLIPS BY "UNDER YOUR NOSES" EVERY YEAR? GET A FUCKING REAL JOB--AND A LIFE FOR THAT MATTER. LOL

Your Amigo,

Paco "Tobala" Escobar
 
WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM ? STOP POSTING THESE LINKS !!!

I doubt they're paying much *that* much attention. They keep their finger on the drug pulse, but it's not like they're here for much more than getting a general sense of what drug users are all about. Hell, I linked some cop boards / DEA sites so that we can go and see what they're all about. Nothing really wrong with that in all honesty. Something tells me that wiretapping people and monitoring real life characters is much, much more important than scouring boards looking for traffickers. More local police may be interested, but I doubt the DEA is finding gold evidence in these boards.

AND, in all honesty, I really wish the DEA IS, yes IS, reading these boards, particularly this thread, as it details quite succinctly the truths of the war on drugs. Something tells me that many of them actually believe they can make a difference, and blind themselves to the fact that their work is fruitless. Maybe by seeing the logic behind why the drug war is destined to fail, we'd have more DEA officers starting to question what it is they're truly doing.
 
(and just for the record, escobar is DEAD. D-E-A-D. I just wanted to note that, as I see his name brought up so frequently 'well, maybe if you're pablo escobar....'; he's been gone for a while now, and he ain't coming back. Google images for pics of his dead corpse if you like).
 
carlos lehder will always be my stereotypical drug king pin. I know he was technically under escobar, but that dude did so much for the trade it's not even funny.

(carlos lehder is 'diego' in the movie 'blow'. Look up things like 'norman's cay' and shit like that, you'll see just how much he did to start the movement)
 
SINCE MANY PEOPLE IN THIS THREAD JUST DECIDED TO DISREGARD BL RULES AND POLICIES I AM CLOSING THIS BEFORE D E A KNOCKS ON THEIR DOORS THANKS
