Debby Blew In Some Cocaine

Tropical Storm Debby blows $1 million in cocaine onto Florida beach
"Storm surge from Tropical Storm Debby has flooded Florida's coastal streets, rivers and low-lying areas. It also produced a cocaine bonanza.

"Hurricane Debby blew 25 packages of cocaine (70 lbs.) onto a beach in the Florida Keys," Samuel Briggs II, acting chief patrol agent of the U.S. Border Patrol in Miami posted Monday on X, formerly known as Twitter.

A Good Samaritan discovered the drugs, which Briggs said had a street value of over $1 million, and notified authorities. The location of the beach was not specified."

Not uncommon off the coast of Florida. Was on a tourist dive off of Miami last century and we found a wood box wrapped in a shiny new chain and padlock. We told the dive master/boat captain and that was it.

I think the idea of someone smuggling a package over the border is outdated. There's an illegal drug delivery corporation, with branches in every town.

And now you’ve got sharks high on cocaine.
Crazy!

And yet I watch the tv serious about smuggling and you would be amazed at the way the folks try to smuggle in drugs, and guns and money.....

Those numbers can’t be street numbers. 70 pounds of Cocaine = 31,751 grams @ $120 per gram (2020 price) = $3.8million on the street.
If the dealer bought the load for $1mil, they made a lot of money. Street prices have been varying between $60-200 in the U.S.

Wonder how much gets turned into crack.

Also noticing alot of cocaine busts in the south Pacific/Australia and Europe.

The disco era called and they want their party favors back.

Well, out here in California and other western states it’s Fentanyl, largely brought to us by the Mexican cartels, and their “illegal immigrant” customers.

“In 2022, fentanyl was responsible for 200 deaths every day. Over a quarter of a million Americans have died from a fentanyl overdose since 2018.”
Are fentanyl overdose deaths rising in the US?

If that 2022 death rate is alarming, how about 112,000 in 2023?
In 2023 fentanyl overdoses ravaged the US and fueled a new culture war fight

My first wife was named Debbie, she may have been 'blowing' some coke, which would explain her erratic behavior.

Without checking numbers, I would imagine a lot of the powder gets turned into rock. The NDIC tries to track it the best they can. They estimate that about 6.2 million people have at least smoked crack once. These are ages 12 and up.

Crack is very addictive and gives a quick high. It’s also inexpensive compared to some other drugs.

Tropical Storm Debby should be ashamed of herself for smuggling coke
