downwind? it's burned at such an extreme temp that theirs barely any smoke. marijuana is also burned at very high temps all furnaces have filters. the furnace used is very much like a crematorium.

I've seen photographs of giant pot piles burning... it made me want to cry. As for the coke, ugh, the smell... nasty.

"they burn it." Is it still a crime to hang around downwind from where they're burning it?

The question is, how on earth did they know to look for it there?

1000 lbs of pure coke has to amount to more than 1000 lbs of crack. You have to remember to cut it! Hello. Where are Pete and Kate when you need them?

But damn... 1,000 pounds? That's still a mindblowing amount of cocaine, whether other trucks get through or not. How does the DEA destroy all that cocaine?

i remember there was a bigger bust last year. my friend, a narcotics agent, told me that it didn't make a dent. no one noticed. street value remained the same... sadly, busts like tise are a joke, if not a decoy.

it's probably even higher than that kojak.

As big as this bust is, they're still way behind. For every tractor trailer like this that they catch, 3 more get through. Although this statistic was pulled out of my ass, I think its not too far fetched.
