Do I not understand? That adds up to roughly 275lbs. Wheres the other 33k pounds?
They're probably equating the fentanyl to x lbs of whatever drug it's x times more potent than. Its DEA math.
That was a terrible "save you a click". That was from a single bust of $2.5million
Including a vehicle that was intercepted on Nov. 6, 2025, at the Calexico West Port of Entry. CBP says an X-ray scan of the vehicle showed anomalies, and officers found 17.28 pounds of fentanyl powder, 90.94 pounds of cocaine and 165.39 pounds of heroin concealed within the spare tire, rear fenders, center console and firewall of a Dodge truck.
The narcotics had an estimated street value of $2,480,714.
I want ninety pounds of cocaine.
Sigmund Freud is that you?
Yeah, how'd that get mixed in with the dangerous drugs? /s
I’m so glad you added that sarcasm mark on there or else I would have downvoted your comment thinking you were just being a dick.
Thank you for being a great user in the fediverse.

Funny how every "drug bust" they slap the profit on it. Making good money CBP.
If you were to say to the grown-ups: "I saw a beautiful house made of rosy brick, with geraniums in the windows and doves on the roof," they would not be able to get any idea of that house at all. You would have to say to them: "I saw a house that cost $20,000." Then they would exclaim: "Oh, what a pretty house that is!"
Anything can be a dangerous drug. Tylenol is dangerous in high amount.
Even in low doses it can cause autism /s
Lol!
How fuck did Hegseth miss that?
Asshole..
Because either the DEA or Coast Guard were the importers.
Of course they fucking are! If not, of course they are selling that drug for profit, only naive people will think they destroy all that money. Then they go around and blame Canada and Mexico.
This is one of the drugs he likes
How much are the non-dangerous ones worth?
Who will Trump's mob onsell them to?
From Canada, I imagine.
