if we assume a seasoned addict without any nostrils left, at 100mg a snort with a 20 minute cooldown before the next hit:
- 2.4 tonnes * 1x10⁹ mg/tonne = 2.4x10⁹ mg of coke
- 2.4x10⁹ mg ÷ 100 mg/snort = 2.4x10⁷ snorts.
- 2.4x10⁷ snorts ÷ (60/20) snorts/hour = 8000000 hours
- ~ 912 years for a seasoned addict
- ~ 3.6 years for 500 seasoned addicts who catch 12 hours of sleep too
I've probably made a mistake somewhere
What if you Scrooge McDucked it?
- 2.4 tonnes of coke ~ 2400 litres, if we assume the density of coke to 1g/cm³
- 2400L is 2.4 m³ ~ 3 bathubs, if we assume a bath is about 2 (length) x 1 (width) x 0.5 (height)
So you could probably splash around a bit and scrub yourself with it, but diving would be out of the question
Imagine the tax revenue.
Exactly how big is this "bust"? 😏
