Cocaine, meth and weed prices have skyrocketed in Miami. Here’s why (moderate read) * 1
    #26967400 - 10/03/20 11:02 AM (3 years, 5 months ago)

Secretly working with Miami-Dade police detectives, an informant arranged to buy cocaine from a suspected drug dealer outside a Kendall gas station last month.

The cops arrested Alejandro del Rosal Lopez, 48, and charged him with cocaine trafficking. As far as South Florida drug cases go, the operation was run-of-the-mill, save for the price: $1,250 for 31 grams.

‘”Typically, before the pandemic, it could have gone under $1,000 for that,” said Miami-Dade Lt. Alain Cuenca, of the narcotics unit. “The supply on the streets is not as easy to find.”

The street-level transaction was but a small and final link in the global chain of the region’s infamous cocaine trade. But it illustrates a larger economic trend: Six months after coronavirus pandemic restrictions began, the prices of illegal drugs have soared thanks to lower supplies on South Florida streets.

It’s been noticeable for law-enforcement officers, sellers and users alike.

According to federal authorities, drugs such as a cocaine, heroin and methamphetamine have increased between 20 and 50 percent in street value, largely because of restrictions on the U.S.-Mexico border, where most narcotics enter the country. Dramatically reduced air travel between South Florida and South America has also affected supplies, agents say, as has the complete shutdown of the state’s cruise industry, which passengers and crew members sometimes use to ferry loads from Caribbean islands.

“The flow has been hampered by the pandemic,” said Keith Weis, the acting special agent in charge of South Florida’s Drug Enforcement Administration. “All the drug traffickers are having a hard time recruiting couriers.”

Even marijuana has increased in prices — which for some is puzzling because these days, weed is largely imported to Florida from Western U.S. states, where it is grown both legally and illegally.

One South Florida weed dealer said clients have be grumbling because he now charges between $20 and $50 more per ounce. He said he believes the increases are because, during lockdowns when fewer people have been on the roads, it’s riskier to move marijuana in cars cross-country. Also, he says, demand is up.

There’s still a curfew. You can’t go to a bar to get a drink,” he told the Herald. “People just want to numb themselves out, so they stay home and get stoned.”

BOOMING BUSINESS

Before the pandemic, cocaine and meth use was surging in South Florida — along with heroin and Chinese-produced illegal fentanyl, part of the larger opioid crisis that has ravaged the United States.

Marijuana, meanwhile, is no longer the chief priority of South Florida law enforcement. Clandestine indoor growing operations shifted to other states. Medical marijuana has been legalized, and the passing of a state law legalizing hemp has all but stopped prosecution of most marijuana cases in Miami-Dade County because it’s difficult for authorities to tell the difference between hemp and marijuana.

Then, the coronavirus came along in early 2020. The rapid spread and ensuing worldwide shutdown didn’t just disrupt legitimate economies.

The United Nations reported in May that the COVID-19 crisis was likely to affect affect labor for production of poppy in countries such as Afghanistan, which has since seen a surge in villagers taking to the fields to harvest the plant used to make heroin.

In South America, the price of coca leafs crucial to making cocaine has crashed as cartel supply chains have broken, the Washington Post reported last month.

Wuhan, China, where the novel coronavirus originated, is also a center for the production of chemicals used to make illicit drugs such as fentanyl and meth. The city was all but shut down in early 2020, shaking up the supply chains for Mexican cartels, but experts believe the flow of chemicals has since resumed unabated.

“The route coming from China into the U.S. still seems to be functioning and, unlike Chinese pronouncements that they’ve sharply curtailed production, we’re still seeing a lot of deaths related to fentanyl,” said Louise Shelley, a scholar at George Mason University who studies transnational crime.

BORDER RESTRICTIONS

For the Mexican cartels, the chief problem has been getting the product across the border, according to law-enforcement officials and security experts.

Starting in late March, the United States and Mexico implemented restrictions limiting “non-essential” travel across the border to curb the spread of the highly contagious virus.

The Mexican cartels generally hide shipments of illicit drugs in personal cars and trucks — but the number of those vehicles crossing the border has plummeted from the year before, according to U.S. transportation data. The restrictions will remain in place until at least Oct. 21.

“You can’t just come across for a day trip,” said Bryce Pardo, a drug policy researcher at the think-tank RAND Corporation. “It increases the risk for drug traffickers.”

Weis, of the South Florida DEA, said cartels have been forced to “rely on different tactics.”

“They’re used to sending a steady flow of smaller shipments, but because of restrictions, they’re relying on bigger shipments,” Weis said.

The trickle-down effect of what academics call the “supply side shock” is now being felt in South Florida.

Law-enforcement officials say cocaine now costs between $25,000 to $28,000 per kilo, more than 20 percent what it cost pre-pandemic. Seizures at U.S. airports and seaports are also down, according to data

According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data, there were 37,380 seizures of cocaine in the first 11 months of the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30 (the final month was not available yet). That’s a far cry from the 89,207 seizures of cocaine in the previous year.

The same goes for cocaine seizures by air and sea, CBP data shows — just 92,113 in that time frame, down from over 227,000 the year before.

Of course, the perpetual cat-and-mouse game between South Florida law enforcement and smugglers hasn’t stopped and the influx of drugs figures to pick up as travel restrictions begin to ease. This week, the Trump administration overruled the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, and will allow cruise ships to sail again in November.

“We would anticipate that activity will pick up as the cruise ship industry comes back online,” said Zach Mann, a spokesman for South Florida’s CBP.

Officers have still been plenty busy.

The U.S. Coast Guard this month offloaded more than six tons of cocaine and 5,759 pounds of marijuana at Port Everglades, drugs that were seized in 12 operations at sea in the Caribbean and Pacific Ocean. On the Miami River, U.S. border patrol officers boarded a freighter two weeks ago and found 33 pounds of cocaine, the agency said.

Over the summer, DEA agents and Miami Police arrested Michelle Contreras, 39, and Javier Contreras, 28, both of California, on accusations they arranged a deal to sell nearly 5,000 fake Oxycodone pills “pressed with heroin” to informant, according to a police report. The two who were working on behalf of a Mexican cartel, police said.

DIFFERING TACTICS

Smugglers are shifting away from the heavily scrutinized ports of entry, authorities say, leading to an uptick in cocaine seized by the border patrol in places such as beaches and deserts. Nationwide, more than 13,000 such cocaine busts have happened over the past 11 months, up from 11,682 the year before.

Over time, these guys will figure out the way get these supplies back into the market,” Pardo, the RAND drug policy expert, said of the cartels.

In Florida, that’s also meant a throwback to the Cocaine Cowboy days of the 1980s. In the past three months alone, there have been 20 cases of cocaine or marijuana washing up on shore. That’s a 30 percent increase from same period the months before.

That includes 78 pounds of cocaine, wrapped in red plastic, discovered last month discovered by someone walking on Hollywood Beach.

“What’s old is new,” said Mann, the CBP spokesman. “We are adjusting and looking for ways to spot trends and get ahead of the smugglers.”

If they think drug prices increasing by 25% is "skyrocketing" the should check out the price on lumber right now.

Pressure treated lumber increased 300% if you can even find it. People building decks for backyard pools and production shut downs are behind the increase. Was talking to a GC yesterday who said he lost 3 jobs because the material costs went up from when he quoted a price 6 months ago and the homeowner doesnt want or cant afford the increase.

It fucking sucks to even get a fever, this a fever that can have permanent effects like inflammation of veins and joints that cause even more problems. You probably won't die from it but its real and its bad. Do you believe polio was a scam too?

How come every bloody celebrity who got the COVAIDs is alive and well, Tom Hanks, that skank Lisa Milano, The Rock, Trump... they are all alive and kicking and are all pretty damn old.

Polio was caused by heavy ingesting of toxic chemicals such as DDT, lead and arsenic.
You need to fully understand how corrupt the Rockefeller medicine really is.

They are smart enough to know the difference between facts and disinformation. Your numbers are complete bullshit.

You should go to your nearest urban population center, find a hospital, and ask some of the staff there how they feel about your "scandemic" theory.

You gotta practically be living in a cave and get your information from zero reputable sources to really think covid is some kind of hoax.

Your worse off than I thought, I shouldn't even going to bother with this one. Stop to think for a minute about how a vaccine could possibly stop heavy metal poisoning, why polio existed in places that are largely free from such environmental poison, and why it persisted to exist in only places that struggled to fully vaccinate.

Don't bother replying, it'll just make me feel worse for you. You are a victim, you actually believe this stuff while the people selling you on it you don't. It's not all that different from being taken in by a cult.

Billions of people are vaccinated each decade without issue...yet to you they are evil and dangerous? While covid is a hoax because hundreds of thousands of deaths world wide aren't enough for you to take it seriously?

Sound logic.

While you are it, why don't you explain to me why environmental toxins stopped causing polio? Or why no one who has received the vaccine develops polio no matter their exposure to said toxins?

Do you know how much compensation has been paid out to the victims of the flu vaccine injuries in the USA? Over $900 million!
https://childrenshealthdefense.org/news/an-unwelcome-milestone-payouts-for-influenza-vaccine-injuries-exceed-900-million/?cn-reloaded=1&cn-reloaded=1&cn-reloaded=1

Sorry for being blunt but do you do any alternative research other than what the Wikipedia or the World Health Organization lists?
Do yourself a favor and go through the material below that confirms that polio was caused by insecticides DDT (Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane), BHC (benzene haxachloride), Arsenic and Lead insecticide compounds, produced by the agrochemical industry, they were also components of household fly killer produced at the same time. These insecticides inevitably found their way into our food and being potent neurological poisons, caused acute neurological poisoning, paralysis, long-term weakness, muscle wasting, brain damage and even death in susceptible individuals.

Polio is only still appearing in a few countries such as India, China and Bangladesh where DDT is still being used. DDT has been banned in 1972 in the west.

They were spraying DDT out in the open on children and into children's food. Kids were overdosing on DDT many times over, watch for yourself:


High toxicity of DDT, and even its ability to cause paralysis, was already known in 1945, which did not prevent it from being widely used in the 50s and 60s. DDT was only banned in 1972 in the USA, after causing an almost complete extinction of eagles, pelicans and other birds. Poliovirus replicates much faster in human cells treated with DDT. Other insecticides have a similar effect. Another insecticide, which was widely used before DDT, was arsenic, the poisoning by which also causes paralysis.
https://en.scibook.org/browse/obj/vaccines:insecticides

Read:
http://www.vaccine-side-effects.com/what-causes-polio-do-vaccines-help/

Jim West’s article ‘Images of Poliomyelitis – A Critique of Scientific Literature’ illustrates the close correlation between the use of these pesticides and the increase in cases of paralytic diseases. Many pharmaceutical researchers were however far more inclined to search for an offending microbe thereby following the pattern that had been reinforced years earlier with Pasteur. The orthodox medical profession would ignore issues of susceptibility, ignore individual environmental and or lifestyle issues, ignore the impact of commercial farming and industrialised pollutants in their attempts to understand and combat disease. Jim West quotes from Biskind’s 1953 article published in the ‘American Journal of Digestive Diseases.’

In 1945, against the advice of investigators who had studied the pharmacology of the compound and found it dangerous for all forms of life, DDT (chlorophenoethane, dichlorodiphenyl-trichloroethane) was released in the United States and other countries for general use by the public as an insecticide. Since the last war there have been a number of curious changes in the incidence of certain ailments and the development of new syndromes never before observed. A most significant feature of this situation is that both man and all his domestic animals have simultaneously been affected.”

It was even known by 1945 that DDT is stored in the body fat of mammals and appears in the milk.  With this foreknowledge the series of catastrophic events that followed the most intensive campaign of mass poisoning in known human history, should not have surprised the experts.”

The polio virus was found at the site of the nerve damage and has been promoted as ‘the cause’ of polio for many years, even though researchers at the time insisted this was not an infectious disease but a neurological poisoning. However, various vaccines were produced with questionable effects in an attempt to cash in on a drug-based preventative.The reduction of polio however coincided with the banning of DDT and other compounds in the 1970’s. However, where they are still in use today in developing countries for example in Nigeria there are once again high rates of infantile paralysis (polio by another name).

Problems with the polio virus theory and therefore polio vaccines:
These viruses are found naturally in the digestive system of most individuals, therefore there would need to be a trigger to enable these to either, enter the blood and gain access to the nerves, or another trigger (such as a neurological poison) that would enable the formation of such viruses at the site of nerve damage. Remember it has been shown that viruses are created when we poison cells.
To date there are at least 72 viruses of the same family of the original polio viruses that can also be found at the site of neurological damage in syndromes that are identical to paralytic poliomyelitis. The polio vaccine contains only three of these 72 viruses
In many instances of illnesses that are clinically indistinguishable from paralytic poliomyelitis, polioviruses are not present. We therefore have acute paralytic diseases that have been renamed according to the presence of these other viruses, e.g. coxsackie viral paralysis, and echo viral paralysis. (The Lancet, 1962:548-51).
The chronic symptoms of polio that remain in cases that do not completely resolve is called post-polio syndrome, separate syndromes have also been classified according to other viruses of the polio family and these syndromes have since been reclassified under the general headings of ‘post viral syndrome’, ‘ME’ and more recently ‘chronic fatigue syndrome’.
Isolation of the virus from affected victims is in fact a mixture of cell debris and toxins from the damaged tissue, this, needs to be injected into the brains of animals in order to create symptoms of paralysis. Polio however is never caused by injections into the brain.

Except the polio vaccine predates DDT's ban in the US by well over a decade...and much later, if at all, in other parts of the world. DDT is still used widely in parts of South America, Africa, Asia, etc.
where there have been many thousands of cases of DDT exposure not resulting in polio...

Yeah, DDT's "decline" in use and the polio vaccine happened at similar times...well in the same half century. But they hardly coincided and polio was fucking eradicated while the environmental toxins you claim are responsible for it still persist in the world to this day. And you should EASILY be able to show PLENTY of cases of vaccinated people succumbing to polio if your suppositions were true.

I know I am not going to change your mind, in fact the more information you see which contradicts your world view the more you will cling to your delusions, its basic psychology. But you've done little to support your stance other than posting a bunch of pseudo-science nonsense and tangentially related, but mostly irrelevant, information about each.

Clearly available? Sure, there are people clearly spouting some nonsense...but look at where its coming from, lol.




Buddy you're insufferable. :facepalm:

Of course polio cases fell drastically after 1962. This is because in September 1962, American biologist Rachel Carson published a book called Silent Spring which chronicled in detail the environmental and health risks posed by the use of DDT. The compound had been viewed as a boon by many as it was incredibly effective against hundreds of different types of insects, as opposed to the previously used compounds which specifically target just a few insects. However, Carson also pointed out that several animals and birds died in large numbers as the result of DDT poisoning. There was mass outcry following the release of her book which led to the chemical being banned for the first time in 1972 by the US Environment Protection Agency (EPA).

Obviously once the information of the dangers of DDT was released publicly in 1962, DDT use drastically DECLINED so did the exposure to DDT and thus polio cases.
By 1963, the number of polio cases fell rapidly to less than 100 in the 1960s and fewer than 10 in the 1970s.
The less people were poisoned with DDT, the less people will show symptoms of "polio" from DDT.
