wes_hardin Scovillians attack

When they go red, aren’t they called Fresnos?

Almost 90k alcohol related deaths in the US annually and we still care about seizing pot.

It wasn't destined for Canada . LegalizeIt

Thank goodness, they got all of it now we're safe

Don’t toss the chiles

Gee, I thought Mexicans with calves the size of cantaloupes were hauling this stuff across the border. (Rep Steve King) SteveKingIA

Was it destined for delivery in a state that has legalized it for recreational use? If so, Tax it and send it along!!!

MSmithBubbles good to see yet another of Ricky's shipments got all fucked up SilentJ

That’s one hell of a popper.

Who is bringing the chips and beer?

I see the problem. You need to do a bit better than just sprinkling some peppers over the packaging.

In Colorado we have our own...they can keep the spicy stuff.

Waste of time, effort and weed.

DID THEY DAVE THE CHILIS

Uh, those are mine. 🌶🌲

No más shipments of ANYTHING from Mexeeco!!! 'Murkkka wouldn't even HAVE a drug problem if'n it war'nt fer them. Make them take stuff on ships to Canada & then all them trustworthy Canucks can bring it in. (Also, moscowmitchmctraitor & his wife can make money on the shipping!)

Weed? What a waste of damn time.

RachelisWINNING Not possible. Smugglers always go right at the border, drive for a while, and then turn left into the US where there's a gap in 'the wall'.

Rookie mistake. I thought everybody knew you only add chilies to crystal methamphetamine.

Seized at a legal port of entry. What do you know.

Weed prices have really come down with the legalization. Just sayin.

It's not illegal now, we have wide open borders so what's all this about?

Everyone knows the best weed comes from USA

US Customs and Border Protection officers have seized nearly 4 tons of Taco enhancer mixed in with the large shipment of jalapenos at a San Diego cargo facility.

If you added cheese to that then I don’t know what I’d do.

With all the cannabis being grown in the US surprised the Mexicans are still smuggling the bulky stuff across

Lame. End the drug war already.

WHAT? Not in the Backpacks of Refugees trying to cross the border? 'They're Bringing Drugs' was a Lie when Trump said it, and it STILL IS!

16 oz. x 8,000 lbs = 128,000 oz $2,300,000 / 128,000 = $17.97 / oz. Either someone doesn’t know how much weed costs or this is some incredibly bad weed.

How “high” was the Scoville Heat Units rating?

This should now be sent to the White nationalist. Maybe it will calm them down.

Who buys brick weed still?

its a plant

Why isn't this 'drug' legal throughout the USA? Why aren't vendors selling it at low market prices + tax to support addiction treatment programs and healthcare?

Do we even need weed shipped in anymore? How do they estimate the cost of 2.3 mil, that seems too much for some brown headache weed.

Give'em to the homeless, especially veterans.

Coming in ? The west coast has so much legal weed already that the value estimates have to be high Black market brick weed is devalued around $100-$300 per pound I wouldn’t value that trash about $800K street value & personally wouldn’t smoke it when theres high end legal pot 🤷🏽‍♂️

But what are the chilies worth?

This will likely lead to a hard-edged AMC television series called 'Breaking Sweat.' 'Say my Scoville rating...'

Was it pot or drugs? You said both.

Mexican weed is GARBAGE! Buy domestic and local.

Labeled, Eye Burn

That’s a bullshit bust ...PR stunt nobody buying that brown ass weed

chilly and weed? i'm home!

That would be some good-ass queso dip.

Great, now we’ll have more angry people running around. If the world were stoned, there wouldnt be any war!!

Tough to make Legal weed perform to its forecast tax contribution if the black market is still able to supply in big numbers.

Yooo. That new wave. Spicy Kush

What? Refugees weren't carrying it through the desert?

End the illegal cannabis market - make cannabis fully legal at the Federal Level. Regulate it, tax it, reap the rewards.

Hot pot!

What a complete fucking waste of everyone's time and money. Seize weapons, not weed.

Border Security is National Security.
