Australian Police Ruin A Lot Of Trucker Parties With Biggest Meth Bust In History

Breitbart- Australia has made its largest ever bust of crystal methamphetamine, with police Wednesday estimating the haul hidden among planks of wood from China had a street value of nearly Aus$900 million (US$680 million).

Two men were arrested and charged with trafficking after the discovery of 903 kilograms (nearly a ton) of ice at a warehouse in the Victorian state suburb of Nunawading, east of Melbourne, where it was hidden in 70 boxes of floorboards.

“Make no mistake, the swift action of our law enforcement agencies has stopped an unprecedented tsunami of ice from hitting our streets with a deadly impact,” said Justice Minister Michael Keenan.

I’m not really a drug guy but I have to say that whenever a story like this hits, with pictures of enormous quantities of drugs, it makes me drool. I don’t know why–something about the sheer volume of the drug seizures makes me think the drugs look delicious. In real life, if I saw a little weed nugget or some unconsolidated cocaine powder spread across a dirty mirror, I’d be unimpressed. But when Jesse and Walt were cooking in the laundry lab, whenever they’d crack those sheets of fresh blue meth, my mouth would water. One of my dreams is to walk through an orchard of blooming weed plants with a blowtorch and just breathe normally. Encircling myself with a weed forest fire like some doomsday arsonist, giggling to the moon while my knees melt into the earth. Weird, I know. But not a bad way to go.

Anyway, gotta wonder how the hell the cops found this meth. Look at how the dealers hid it–in the actual floorboards. Just goes to show, when you’re moving over half a billion dollars of drugs, you can’t be too careful. I’d hate to be the runner who had to tell the kingpin he lost a $900 million shipment… if you’re wondering whose testicles are dripping down the Sydney Opera house tomorrow, they belonged to that guy.

PS- once upon a time, I thought I was going to law school. I worked at the Manhattan District Attorney’s office as a paralegal and occasionally I’d have to collect evidence from police plaza for a case. The evidence room is STOCKED with drugs, weapons, and all kinds of criminal accoutrement. They don’t let you back there but you can look through the glass and dream…
