Just legalize this stuff and put regulations on the amount people can consume. This will eliminate the criminal elements involved in the production and distribution. Put a heavy levy and tax on companies involved in the production and distribution of cocaine to cater for the social and health cost implications that will arise from the consumption of the drug.

People love to get high. It's a lifestyle decision and it seems the war on this drug is not working. In my view, I think it's because the raw material is mainly sourced from tropical climates and westerners are unable to replicate the production of the drug that's why the pretentious fight is ongoing.

Cannabis has been legalized in many western countries and this is because it can now been grown locally in the west. If thr west can profit, they will continue to criminalize it.

Currently, opoids is now the drug of choice by middle and low income westerners. Cocaine consumption is even safer than Opoids but opoids is not illegal.

Hope they don't waste those smooth bananas...guess this is where the saying " you don't throw away the baby with the bath water" makes sense.

This is the one they will front to media while the main consignment is worth much more, if it's £40m then it's probably worth up to billions

That is the catch. Not everything is searched thoroughly in an airport so they can ship very large amounts of drugs in very regular shipments the airport is used to, to the extent that they don't check.

A notorious drug merchant was once arrested in Brazil. His trick; he simply fills his entire backpack with drugs. How did he do it then without being caught for long. He just dresses like a business man and travels with a private jet
he uses the elite facilities in an airport so he could pass as a regular businessman. He was only caught because a policeman asked him an unrelated question and his reply drew suspicion.

Or documentaries on drug smuggling. That's where I watched the fake businessman.

Don't think those people are foolish. Before this particular shipment of drugs reached the officials, over 20 identical shipments may have passed all clean. When they get bored checking it, that's when the real package will pass through.

Infact they maybe sending bananas everyday for a month through a fake company. This will familiarize officials with the shipment. One day, the real deal will pass like a regular banana shipment and nobody will know. Smugglers play serious psychological games with airport/seaport authorities.

Take a second look at that banana packaging
Does it look like somebody didn't want it found? Shipment from the Colombia?
My guess is, this is a low hanging fruit to create diversion for x larger shipment
