Wait, aren't the drugs meant to be flowing the other way?

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 47 points 1 week ago

Oops, whoopsie, that was a lie.

[–] Bakkoda@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 week ago

We send them up to Canada and they put the fentanyl in i think i dunno

[–] WhyFlip@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The very big cocaine spigot is turned on in Mexico and flows north to Canada.

[–] crawancon@lemm.ee 11 points 1 week ago

THE SPICE MUST FLOW

[–] Maiq@lemy.lol 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

In the northern hemisphere the the hardcore drugs usually come from the south.

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

We know all about your lies, Maiq!

[–] Maiq@lemy.lol 7 points 1 week ago

This one knows many things. You may find moonsugar Elsweyr.

Is coke harder than ketamine?

[–] Maiq@lemy.lol 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Khajiit avoids veterinarians over fear one may wake without his two furry friends.

[–] SinningStromgald@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I thought Khajit only have one tail?

[–] Maiq@lemy.lol 4 points 1 week ago

Not true, Khajiit have many tales. M'aiq once knew an apothecary, he had three legs and a limp. Maybe it was two. He said to this one, "Everybody lies". Even domiciles hold wisdom.

[–] feedum_sneedson@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Effects, no. Side effects, yes.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 week ago

Yes, absolutely.

[–] Typotyper@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

They come here so we can send them down there in smaller quantities. It’s called warehousing and on demand delivery

They're stealing our drugs!

[–] noxypaws@pawb.social 36 points 1 week ago

Now there's a whole category of headline I've never seen before.

Feels like a clear sign of how much Canada is just fucking done carrying water for us.

Keep it up.

[–] d3lta19@lemmy.ca 36 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Maybe we should be putting some heavy tariffs on the US for allowing this scourge to flow past it's borders towards Canada, eh?

[–] Lemmist@lemm.ee 27 points 1 week ago

Sell it back to US while there are no tariffs on cocaine.

[–] Kraven_the_Hunter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 1 week ago (1 children)

GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER USA !!!

oh wait, that's me. nvm

[–] skuzz@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 1 week ago

Yeah, we dumb. A friend always mentioned in the past, "doesn't it seem like there's just 20% of people navigating for the other 80%?" Not politicians. The people that pay attention, on things like roadways to prevent wrecks and that report bad food and such to the proper places. It seems, perhaps, that 80% of dumb just might not be worth the 20%s time anymore.

[–] ATDA@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Canada be like THE WALL JUST GOT TEN FEET HIGHER, sorry.

[–] BruceAlrighty@lemmy.nz 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Arrest that wall! It’s on drugs.

[–] triptrapper@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago (5 children)

I'm really proud of everyone for not making the tired "835 kilograms! What would someone do with 750 kilograms?" joke. It's just the worst.

[–] tiefling@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

600 kilograms of cocaine is no laughing matter

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yes it's good that 400 kilograms of cocaine were taken off the street.

[–] BenM2023@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That 200kg of cocaine has nearly filled the storage facility.

[–] feedum_sneedson@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

835kg of cocaine

[–] Generic_Idiot@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago

Hands down the most rinsed out joke on the internet. I think less of anyone who seriously does it.

[–] melpomenesclevage@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

honestly we're all just shocked a whole 835 kilograms made it that far north. americans really like their cocaine. the most famous american beverage is fucking named after it's precursor.

[–] SilentStorms@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago

Augh now you've started it. Now there's going to be a 20 comment chain underneith you making the same lame joke.

[–] whostosay@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Tarrifs don't hurt the drug producers, they hurt the drug users.

[–] SabinStargem 9 points 1 week ago

Ah, finally a resource that Trump and Musk is fully willing to remove their tariffs for!

[–] Lifecoach5000@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Hmm that’s plenty for that new product I heard about called “Just A Little Bump”

[–] synae@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 week ago

[–] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

The US isn't sending their best.

[–] Bieren@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Shut down the border dang it! Keep us Americans safe.

[–] MeekerThanBeaker@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Nah... we may need to leave soon.

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

There's like 3 other directions you could go.
