    I don’t know how much of an addict you have to be to be willing to be charged with trafficking, transport felony-levels of illegal narcotics, all just to hope that whatever it is will be good and vibe with you…?

      Not everyone who likes drugs is an addict. Jeez some people just like to have a good time

        Did you read anything in my comment besides the word “addict”…? To be clear, I wasn’t being judgemental, so I’m sorry if I came across that way.

        To clarify, I was saying the risk associated with collecting, transporting, and storing a large mystery (but presumed illegal) package in a place like the US with extremely harsh, overly punitive punishments would probably only attract drug addicts or dealers. I like weed and alcohol so I’m not demonizing people who like to have a good time, but I would not be just as happy if it turned out to contain black tear heroin… And again, it’s compared to the risks.

          I understand and apologize I didn’t mean to attack you I was just being an internet asshole.

          To make it up to you if you ever need someone to hold the bag I’ll do it because I’m going to take my chances and run. Dont worry , when we meet back up it will all be there. I always figured I’m not under arrest until the cuffs are on and they got me in the car

        Tbh you don’t need to be either an addict nor broke to be excited about the prospect of a free brick of cocaine

          Hard for me to understand. Not that I am against cocaine but having it at home is a risk and selling it for $20-100k is also not worth it to me facing a few decades in prison

          I mean … it’s not exactly labeled, is it? You just going to put random powder into your body? I can’t imagine a world where that’s not a death sentence.

            Then you lack imagination

            There are testing kits for just this kind of situation. I’ve found maybe a dozen random bags of drugs on the ground in my life. I’m definitely not recommending people so drugs they find, I’m just telling you it’s very much not a death sentence.

              I too have enjoyed many ground scores over the years. Only once did i toss it. I think I found ~ a gram of some really shitty shake and bake meth. Not big on meth and it just looked foul. Just glad someone else didn’t pick it up.

              One of the craziest was finding an 1/8th of fire coke on my birthday after having to work a double. I was so mad all day after realizing we were going to be stuck on a job to get a building back in service on my birthday. I pulled into a 7-11 to get a drink and when I opened the car door and looked down I could not believe my eyes. I looked around the parking lot , did a big yawn and stretch then bent down to tie my shoe expecting at any minute someone was going to say hey man that’s mine. Grabbed it, hoped back in the truck and slowly drove home.

              The gods must be crazy!

                Right? It felt like the drug gods were smiling upon me—and these all happened in my 20s, when I was doing tons of drugs. Since I pretty much stopped beside the occasional wild night out/show once a year, I haven’t found anything! The ground drug gods smiled upon me often and with love and primo scores

                  It’s funny the way it works sometimes. Like some freaky cosmic conspiracy!

                  I’ve always got my eyes peeled and I still check cigarette packs before I toss them in the trash 😂

                    I wonder how well it’s aged.

                    My teenage daughter loved Hercules Returns, but she’s quite keen on watching stuff. I reckon my son would enjoy it, but he’d rather have interaction in his screen time, it seems 🤷‍♂️
