Rice soaked in cocaine is a first, say Argentine customs
Friday, September 25, 2015
Argentine customs found 30kg of cocaine hidden in a way they had never seen before, absorbed in of rice headed for Europe via Africa. It was detected by dogs.
The bust underscores Argentinas role as a shipping point for cocaine produced in Bolivia, Peru and Colombia, destined for Africa, and then smuggled north to the lucrative markets of Europe.
Imaginative drug runners soaked rice in water that had been mixed with cocaine, said Guillermo Gonzalez, chief of narcotic investigations for Argentinas customs agency. When the water evaporated, the rice was left invisibly impregnated with the addictive stimulant.
Its a new method, Gonzalez said. This is the first time weve seen technology this sophisticated.

(1,151 posts)I heard a PBS broadcast this week The president of Bolivia grows Coco plants on his farm as his ancestors have done for hundreds of years. He is sick of the US telling his country what to do. He kicked the DEA out of Bolivia and will not allow the US to interfere with their traditional lifestyle.
I am sick of the DEA and the US govt treating us like children. Its not on me of someone is irresponsible. Not my fault if you abuse alcohol or cocaine or whatever. I say legalize all drugs and let there be laws and penalties for irresponsible behavior. I say dis arm the police. Allow them to have a gun but under lock and key. That way , they cant just whip it out and start blasting without thinking. That way when they get that gun out, they will have intent.Clear intent.
I am a big fan of the president of Bolivia.
