By CURT ANDERSON - Associated Press - Thursday, December 15, 2016 FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) - More than 26 tons of cocaine worth at least $715 million was brought ashore Thursday in Florida following multiple recent seizures by the U.S. Coast Guard and the Royal Canadian Navy in the eastern Pacific.
Coast Guard officers said at a news conference Thursday that the drugs brought to Fort Lauderdale came from 27 separate vessel interdictions and five bale recovery operations off Central and South America over the past three months.
Pallets containing the drugs, many wrapped in brightly colored plastic and some bearing labels such as “white sugar” or “pork,” covered the entire flight deck of the 418-foot Coast Guard Cutter Hamilton.
Vice Admiral Karl Schultz, Coast Guard commander in the Atlantic, said the seizures are part of an effort to target vessels bringing cocaine north by sea from Colombia, Peru and Bolivia before the loads reach land and are divided up into much smaller amounts for smuggling into the U.S. and Canada.
Cocaine seizures at sea result in three times more drugs intercepted than all U.S. land-based law enforcement efforts combined, Shultz added.
“When we interdict drugs at sea, they are large quantities,” he said. “That’s kind of the impact of doing this at sea.”

I wonder if coca cola or any other large international company had anything to do with it. Considering how much its worth why is it a big surprise to people that its usually millionaires and billionaires fucking around..

all this does is further environmental shit down where the plants are grown. all that toxic stuff they use to make cocaine ends up in the water ways and it's a real travesty. if cocaine weren't illegal, we could monitor and regulate the process and have clean ups in place to deal with it as soon as it happens. the people that do this as of now, don't care about the environment they are destroying.
besides, taking out 20+ tons of the stuff from the market doesn't actually reduce demand. that demand will get met one way or another.

I have to admit that I admire the resourcefulness of the Colombians in the cocaine industry. They figured out that, if you throw the leaves in a washing machine and rig up the drain water to go into a barrel or a kiddie pool, you can more easily and effectively extract the active ingredients.
Just brilliant.
