Cartel Colombian da droga: Excitador querido
Abril 25o, 2007 perto Tim
Desde que nós estamos já no assunto, está aqui um mais photoset de um outro busto grande da cocaína.
Em Colômbia, um lugar não conhecido para sua segurança de tráfego, a tonelada da cocaína foi descoberto depois que o caminhão que transporta a deixou de funcionar. Deve ser um dia agradável para que os oficiais de polícias tenham as libras 2.000+ da queda justa do coke em seu regaço como aquela.
Você sabe que as cabeças rolavam em alguém o bodega após um parafuso acima dessa proporção.

Abril 25o, 2007 perto Tim
O dia de e os dias que conduzem a 4/20 críam tipicamente seu próprio bounty de ambos pro e anti- pressão do marijuana. Este fim de semana era, entretanto, uma mudança definitiva do ritmo.
A notícia da cocaína inundou os airwaves quando o busto o maior dentro marítimo a história foi descoberta.
Fora das costas de Panamá, o protetor de costa descobriu aproximadamente ~30.000 libras do título da cocaína norte em um navio de 330 pés. Quando os oficiais boarded o navio, descobriram os shipments escondidos em dois recipientes. Este busto sozinho teve um valor da rua perto de $450 milhões.
Mais cedo no mês, outros dois bustos mar-baseados ocorreram. Um onde um cortador do protetor de costa perseguiu abaixo um speedboat com 2.000 libras de valor do yeyo. Outros quando 900 libras do coke foram encontradas em uma embarcação pescando de Ecuadorian. Eram tentar travado offload os bens em speedboats fora da costa de México.
Total, um fim de semana mau para Montana Tony e grupo.

O potenciômetro cresce Histeria Op
Abril 3o, 2007 perto Alex
All over the country, grow houses are garnering more widespread public attention than ever before.
A recent explosion of high-end, indoor grow ops have been raided and shut down by various law enforcement agencies across the US.
Some may say this proves the growing trend that well-financed drug rings are using expensive, innocuous locations to produce mass quantities of marijuana. Perhaps. Or, maybe the police are just now starting to catch on?
News stories published left and right are aimed at not only informing the public, but also at making them unwitting tools of the police.
Each article has pushed the angle of danger and suspicion - evil marijuana growers lurking in the shadows under honest, hard-working citizens very noses.
The AP has even released this amazingly helpful list of how to spot a “marijuana farm”:
- There are guard dogs, “Keep Out” signs or other security.
- Electrical outlets may be rigged to divert power from neighboring homes.
- The windows are often covered and the blinds drawn. There may be excessive condensation around the windows.
- The houses are largely unoccupied. People stop by periodically to mow the lawn or do other chores, then leave.
- In winter, after a snowfall, the house may be the lone home on the block with no snow on the roof. (Heat from the lights often melts the snow.)
According to this criteria, everyone who lives in Beverly Hills is operating a massive indoor pot factory. I need to call the police right now!
Even though I am making light of this situation, the use of paranoia through mass media is a very effective self-policing tactic. I’m sure that tip lines all the way from Georgia to California are ringing off the hook, and that’s just the way the narcs want it to be.

Peru Narcotics Destruction
March 29th, 2007 by Alex
Since we showed everyone how Macedonia gets down when it comes to destroying narcotics, we might as well keep the trend going.
This photoset shows police in Peru burning large amounts of various illegal drugs. To be exact, over 5 tons of cocaine, marijuana, opium and heroin.
This batch covers the last 4 months of Peru’s law enforcement efforts.

4 Million Euro Worth of Drugs Destroyed
March 20th, 2007 by Alex
Ever wonder how Eastern European authorities destroy large amounts of seized narcotics? Me neither.
Just in case you’re still interested, here’s a quick photoset from Macedonia involving tons of drugs, a steel mill and temperatures hot enough to melt the Terminator 1000.
So what exactly was destroyed? Only 150 kilos of hashish, 250 kilos of marijuana, 80 kilos of heroin, 30,000 ecstasy pills and 16 kilos of cocaine worth a street value of almost 4 million Euro.

Wired’s Vaporware for Pot Smokers
March 5th, 2007 by Tim
Recently, Wired published an image gallery of some of the many vaporizer products out on the market today. Needless to say, their expertise doesn’t lie and cover this segment of the industry, so don’t expect complete, in-depth reviews. We’ll provide those.
Instead of summing up the intro + captions, I’ll use Wired’s exact words:
Herbal enthusiasts — otherwise known as potheads — are putting a high-tech spin on the age-old practice of getting high as a kite. Tokers are turning to specialized devices that vaporize marijuana rather than burning it. The vaporizers get hot enough to extract all the plant’s psychotropic chemicals, but not hot enough to actually combust. The smoker gets a hit of sweet, sticky vapor — and an allegedly healthier high, since the carcinogens and solid particles get left behind, that’s especially attractive to users of medicinal marijuana.

Josh Heytvelt Mushroom Bust
February 26th, 2007 by Alex
Our friends over at Celeb Stoner were able to locate some detailed pictures of Gonzaga basketball player Josh Heytvelt’s drug arrest.
Turns out that he’s using the old ‘that ain’t mine‘ defense. Yea, I frequently find 33 grams of mushrooms randomly placed in my backpack with no knowledge of how they got there. What a coincidence.
Looks like he was planning on having a lot of fun, which has now turned into a lot of problems. Too bad he’s a member of a nationally watched basketball team, or else this would go completely under the radar.
See all the pics after the jump.
