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

[–] [email protected] 47 points 1 month ago

Oops, whoopsie, that was a lie.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago

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

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

THE SPICE MUST FLOW

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

Is coke harder than ketamine?

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I thought Khajit only have one tail?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month 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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Effects, no. Side effects, yes.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Yes, absolutely.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

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

[–] [email protected] 45 points 1 month ago

They're stealing our drugs!

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month 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?

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 month 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.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 month ago (1 children)

GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER USA !!!

oh wait, that's me. nvm

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month 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.

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Arrest that wall! It’s on drugs.

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.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

600 kilograms of cocaine is no laughing matter

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

835kg of cocaine

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

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

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Goes great with my Couplabeers!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

The US isn't sending their best.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Nah... we may need to leave soon.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

There's like 3 other directions you could go.
