It looks like the block might be dry somewhere for some time—as $1.1 million worth of cocaine was found near the U.S.-Canadian border just a few days ago.
USA Today is reporting that United States border patrol agents in the Blaine Sector in Lynden, Washington, stumbled upon two black backpacks that contained enough cocaine to turn the average man into an overnight millionaire last week. Finding the backpacks in a wooded area near the border, agents were surprised to find that they contained 30 bricks of a “white powdery substance” that ultimately tested positive for nose candy. Both backpacks were carrying 78 pounds of perico in them. How big were those backpacks?
USA Today reports:
“Thanks to the vigilance of Blaine Sector Border Patrol agents these dangerous narcotics were prevented from reaching our communities,” Chief Patrol Agent Rosario “Pete” Vasquez said in the news release. “Our agents work tirelessly day in and day out to protect this nation, and this seizure highlights that crucial commitment.”
The drugs were given to the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).
Cocaine is a schedule II drug, or chemicals that are highly likely to be abused, “potentially leading to severe psychological or physical dependence,” the DEA said on its website.
“These drugs are also considered dangerous,” the DEA said.
The drugs might be dangerous, but we’re sure so are the people who were expecting to make money off them, too. Why anyone would ditch such a large amount of the drug is anyone’s guess, but y’all know someone’s going to pay for this massive L. And it probably won’t be pretty. Just sayin’.
