    Meanwhile, I’ve seen dozens of videos on Instagram of cartel guys floating literal boatloads full of coke and god knows what else across the gulf of mexico.

    Watching the US government handle drug enforcement is like watching a toddler eat piss with a fork. Whatever they’re hoping to achieve isn’t going to help anyone and they’re not even trying to do it effectively.

      Of course they’re not, because they’re smart enough to know they can’t as laws only apply to the people that willingly chose to follow them.

      They know damn well that screwing with people, like the 99.99% of people buying Primatine and Bronkaid arent using it to make meth, those people buy kilos of it online and have it shipped to their doorstep, but if they fuck with people that suffer from allergies they get to say they’re doing “something”, and that shuts up the uninformed majority.

      If they actually wanted a war on drugs, they could be very effective at it, but they know better. If they actually went through with it, theyd have no rationale to blow billions on useless govt agencies like the DEA. It’s in their best interest to talk the talk, but not walk the walk.
