    Drug war is definitely over this time. Congratulations, we’ll never see this drug on the streets again.

    Ha! A drop in the ocean. This will have little, if any, effect to supply or price.

  2. So many seizures and so little achieved ….is the war on drugs the most pointless effort in law enforcement

  3. I wonder how the tarrif for sale and supply of cannabis varies by country

    Does it follow that if the prison estate is full, then suspended sentences and lower tariffs to other jurisdictions are the order of the day?

    It uses to be the case that a big seizure like this would mean higher prices when next lads go to collect. So why for yeeears now has it done nothing to price? In actuality, the variety to choose from has increased 2 or 3 fold. The cost has remained largely the same, except you can expect to pay more for higher quality stuff which makes sense. Just legalise it lads. There’s absolutely nothing they can do to stop the influx.

  5. Number of guards policing the roads lower than it’s been in years, and road deaths up 30-odd percent since 2019, but sure, this is a good use of resources. 

  6. In Canada we would say 8.5 M worth of new cans is coming in and 2M more in taxes for our public systems! most people don’t care, stoners are happy to discover a new flavour! I lived in Ireland for 6 years, just legalize it guys it really isn’t that hard and that big of a deal and everyone is better off after.
