Maldives fishermen in drugs haul
April 23, 2006 - BBC
A group of fishermen in The Maldives got more than they bargained for when they reeled in the country's largest ever drugs haul, local media reports.
The lobster catchers found 1,697 plastic bags packed with cannabis in a lagoon, Haveeru news agency reported.
The drugs on the ocean floor weighed in at over 1.6 tons in total.
Police are investigating the incident. Drug smuggling in the island paradise is punishable by death, although no-one has ever been executed for the crime.
According to the Haveeru Daily newspaper the scale of the drugs haul has caused tension among local people who are insisting that police must destroy it in a transparent manner.

Just a week ago, one of the other guys quit because he was busy with some other things in life.
But on topic: I wonder if the fishermen pocketed any of that. 
With that much, it seems like they could easily have took a bunch for their own private stashes.

1.6 tons * 2 = 3200lbs * 454 grams = 1452800grams
You think a big city consumes this much pot per day?
I swear most smokers don't smoke more than 1/2 gram per day. Also, the biggest city in the USA is 12,000,000 people? (Los angeles?)
Anyways, i don't think a big city consumes 1.6 tons of pot per day. Booya!
