It was really just a matter of time if you think about it:
Maybe the drug traffickers should train live sharks to smuggle cocaine, because that would be awesome and nobody would mess with them. Actually, if the drug war continues long enough, it's statistically probable that it will happen.
Regardless, this is another one of those crazy stories that just shows how ridiculous the drug war has become. Things like this arenât supposed to happen, and if our drug policy made any sense, they wouldn't.
