COKE

Well, looks like spring has sprung. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/federal-authorities-seize-dollar18-million-worth-of-cocaine-at-port-of-philadelphia/ar-BBV0eoW?li=BBnb7Kz
About $18 million worth of cocaine was seized by federal authorities at the Port of Philadelphia on Tuesday.
Law enforcement officials confiscated nearly 1,000 pounds of the drug found on the container ship MSC Desiree, a source told ABC News.
A U.S. Customs & Border Protection official said that multiple agencies were involved in the seizure.
“Customs and Border Protection, Homeland Security Investigations, U.S. Coast Guard, Coast Guard Investigative Service, DEA, Delaware State Police, Pennsylvania State Police, Philadelphia Police Department Nether Providence Police Department and the Office of the Attorney General Bureau of Narcotics Investigation conducted a multi-agency inspection and discovered alleged contraband inside a shipping container at a Philadelphia seaport today," Steve Sapp said in a statement.
He was not able to provide more information except that the case was turned over to Homeland Security.
The MSC Desiree was traveling from Colombia to Europe, sources told NBC 10.
It is believed to be the largest seizure of cocaine ever in the city, according to ABC News. Law enforcement officials grabbed 3,200 of cocaine from a container at the Port of New York/Newark earlier this year in what was the largest cocaine seizure in 25 years.

Because they can just send more, and at almost every point in the supply chain people have more than one source. Because it is such a large amount it won't even affect a single street level dealer, because their is enough aggregate supply to last until another shipment and it isn't like anyone specific was waiting on this coke. When they snatch up a local distribution operations supply, that can lead to a dozen or so street level dealers going dry for a few days, but that's all and at best.

Yeah coke is seriously flooding NE USA, i can say for sure. And its pretty damn pure (dunno if there are traces of levamisole, they say most coke does, but its pretty clean stuff just from trying a bump)
Molly too. I dont see classic psychedelics (mostly meaning street acid, or just people saying "i got shrooms", even though i wouldnt ever buy any, id just DIY) as much as i did in the early 2000s, prolly cause of Tor. When people want acid i guess they just order a sheet. I dont like being tied to that so my friend just orders and i pay an extra hundo. It works out well for 150ug sheets
And it seems ketamine is making a comeback after being not too available and usually powdery/cut for a few years. Now it looks like crystal Ket is more available (all just referring to my area)

I wonder is fent in coke a true concern? Or just a sad situation that happened a few times?
People tend to just whip out coke and do bumps or lines like its nothing
But yeah, people selling real heroin now (TO people already using) are doing a public service as long as theyre not "pushing" it onto people and esp younger people
All drugs really. If youre selling what you say youre selling and youre not a dick but a businessman, more power to ya
Its funny that if anyone cleans the streets of all this fent, it may not be govt at all but mostly the dealers themselves. Like the tor guys who dont want extra negative attention. Govt just arrests people. They havent made it much harder to import fentalogues. But oh if it were 2ce or mxe! Lol

they just do it to save a couple bucks make the consistency of the powder less coke and more just baking soda or whatever else is lying around in the vicinity coke is supposed to numb the areas it comes in contact with so if someone sniffs fent they might be under the impression they got bomb ass coke

It's not. You can check the numbers from DEA seizures. There has been some seized coke which has tested positive for fent, but the only time it happened with any regularity it was almost entirely limited to a specific time frame and single metro area. Sounded almost like accidental contamination.
Although I have heard rumors of this popping up in other spots, there isn't much hard evidence to back it up. I could see it being sold as some kind of boutique product, or even as a bad idea from someone high up on the supply chain, but other than that it wouldn't make much sense, it would be hard to mix it safely with coke given cokes texture while adding zero weight to it.
