Comments on: Woman smuggles 3lbs of cocaine in her breasts http://boingboing.net/2012/12/13/woman-smuggles-coke.html Brain candy for Happy Mutants Fri, 24 May 2013 21:31:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.1 By: RevelryByNight http://boingboing.net/2012/12/13/woman-smuggles-coke.html#comment-1608067 RevelryByNight Fri, 14 Dec 2012 22:56:00 +0000 http://boingboing.net/?p=200413#comment-1608067 I'm more disgusted by the pictures of SUVs filled with shot-up South American men. The cocaine trade is so ugly and brutal, it pisses me off to see privileged t***s shoving it up their noses at expensive clubs. I used to do blow, and quit after I saw too many horror stories about poor Latinos murdering each other over white people's highs.

But I'm already pretty hyper, so I don't use coke. But if I did, this smuggling story, plus countless others, where drugs are hidden in rectums, and so forth, would really disgust me and give me pause. I suppose it's a different story if you are addicted, but for the casual user, is it worth it? I agree. But I’m already pretty hyper, so I don’t use coke.

If drugs like this were regulated, there wouldn't have to be horrific incidents like this taking place. It's time for a new approach to managing drugs in the world. In fact, it's long overdue.

If you look at the photos, you will see that the "implants" are just regular plastic bags filled with a non gelatinous substance, not round and smooth silicon implants. So, no need for invasive border control techniques, just common sense and a x-ray machine.
