MEXICO CITY (AP) — Police in a Mexican border city said Wednesday that a drone overloaded with illicit methamphetamine crashed into a supermarket parking lot.
Tijuana police spokesman Jorge Morrua said authorities were alerted after the drone fell Tuesday night near the San Ysidro crossing at Mexico's border with California.
Six packets of the drug, weighing more than six pounds, were taped to the six-propeller remote-controlled aircraft. Morrua said authorities are investigating where the flight originated and who was controlling it. He said it was not the first time they had seen drones used for smuggling drugs across the border.
Other innovative efforts have included catapults, ultralight aircraft and tunnels.
In April, authorities in South Carolina found a drone outside the fence of a prison that had been carrying cellphones, marijuana and tobacco.

I think the best way to transport drugs is by using a trebuchet:

Shove said drugs in dead bodies then use the trebuchet. Have to keep it authentic.

Trebuchet would be awesome but I don't think it's easily transportable or easy to conceal/disassemble.
The smugglers ought to speak to some pumpkin chucking champions for a good design. The world record distance is about 1.6km!
I know pneumatic air cannons have been or are being used. Tunnels are old news. Maybe they need to fabricate some rockets and crash land those into various U.S lakes.

Can you get a dead body in an air cannon?

Who else thinks it would be entertaining to see a drone carrying 6 pounds of meth fall from the sky and crash at your feet as you walk through the parking lot to go grocery shopping? I couldn't imagine what a tweaker would make of it.... They would probably believe a higher power dropped it out of the sky for them.
