The 24/7 close quarters experience conditioned myself to unwittingly undergo a lifestyle metamorphosis that I still continue on the outside to this very day. My psychiatrist refers to me as an “highly intelligent, hyper vigilant, high functioning sociopath with an exceptional aptitude for violence, in all forms, when confronted with a perceived threat.” It reads like the plot of a horror movie, but I keep to myself, actually preferring solitude and am loyal to a fault to a person whom I trust. He also informed me, regarding my affliction, i.e. Antisocial Personality Disorder (specifically sociopathy) that sociopaths are bred and psychopaths are born ... hence I’m a product of my environment (interestingly, I was relentlessly and ruthlessly bullied for years by a group of older students at the private boy’s college I attended in my youth). Alternatively, a psychopath has area-specific impaired brain functioning existing from birth ... in all probability, a genetically inherited condition. I only did approximately 10yrs at once, but I know blokes whom have done a lot longer and still have a lot longer to go. The long term and lasting effects of serving significant prison time is famously referred to as being “institutionalised”. You’re on the money about many inmates preferring death and suicide is no easy task in maximum security. Many achieve that goal once freed.

While in a world where export is the whole industry and getting economical growth is so much wanted, it isnt a fair argument... And thus it stayed illegal, while i feel like someone literally handed those 3 parties a paper written what they had to say..

You can't get health insurance without it, you can't use public transport, you can't got to a public place, pub etc. You have to have a drug free pass to be in society. A lot of people doing drugs are just ordinary people with jobs and kids etc, but they have no morals. You'll only stop them engaging with the drug trade by forcing them to stop. If you think for one minute, every time you snort coke or whatever the kids do these days, you are funding murder, child sex trafficking etc. So that's what you're up against, the middle aged neighbors down the road would rather be "cool" people who do drugs than stop and think for 5 seconds about what and who they're funding

I doubt it will help much. Here in Oregon and in other states that have legalized weed, there's still a thriving illegal market for it. Part of the reason is that they have imposed high taxes (as he suggested), so it's still cheaper on the street than from a legitimate retailer.

Nobody ever points out that if people would just stop consuming these narcotics, they would go away. Make me angry when politicians dump on the poor countries blaming them for illegal drugs.

The legalization/taxation isn’t working from what hear either. Fighting the war is the only answer, giving up will be worse.

If you look into it a little further, often prison locations are designated gang stops, each location is allocated, which is why prisoner transfer requests identify gang affiliation without anyone saying a word.

Legalizing and taxing leads to…illegal operations continuing underground so they can avoid taxes. They then sell at a price lower than legal operations because they don’t have to pay taxes, and thrive because law enforcement mostly ignores them due to legalization. Then if the state wants to enforce regulation they need to raise taxes (usually on the now legal drug because it’s politically expedient) further exacerbating the situation. Lol!

I remember being a little kid around 5 or 6 years old and seeing the police kick in our door and completely destroyed our house. Even after they found what they wanted on their way out they busted out all of our windows and they broke all kinds of unnecessary things around the house. My father was a drug dealer and I didn't see him again for nearly 20 years. I know the impact the drug game can have on the families first hand. It also bread a hatred of police into my mind at a very early age. They only reported half of what they actually found but it was still enough to sentence my father to LIFE in prison. He got out a little early as life in the early 80's was only 20 years. Edit - The police were crooked and had been doing this for months. They would only report half of what they actually seized and they'd sell the rest on the streets. They were later caught and arrested themselves. I saw alot of people asking why I would hate the police and this is why, and yes I also hated my father too.. Not only were they breaking the law themselves but they'd terrorize the families in the process.

Bureaucracies exist to persist. Look at any organization with a budget. What do they do? They spend the budget. If they're particularly efficient, they'll have money left over at the end, and what do they do? They spend it quickly because if it were to be seen that they were underbudget, the people who allocate the money would take the money away in the future. So, they spend it and ask for a small percentage expansion. Bureaucracies never go away. If they accomplish their mission, like the environmental groups of the 60s, they'll engage in mission creep until they find something new. D.A.R.E. is actually a great example. For those of us who went through it, it was anti-drug education, scared-straight, and direct from a cop. Now, it's basically a woke organization pushing CRT. It has a totally different mission, but it still has a budget, still keeps people employed, and still perpetuates the bureaucracy.

I work in the port of Rotterdam at a container terminal as planner. I have contact with customs etc. Sometimes one was tempted with large sums and after a while cave in. There is limited capacity for scanning containers, so the main focus lies on the ones from South America, either directly to here to via a transshipment. And then they needed people to pick it up. So the job of the custom guy was to and try to make sure that one wasn't selected, and then inform the others where the 1 container would be among the tens of thousands others. But those guys were quite smart as well, living a normal life from the outside. At least totally different from your every day mules swallowing capsules and take an airplane. But's getting harder for them to pay off people as time passed. Other systems with multiple people needing to be there when random (actually most likely to contain drugs) containers are chosen by the computer. After 9/11 security in ports worldwide were sharpened as well, having to show ID every single time you went to a terminal and employees their passes, but those can be swapped out to the 'unloaders' of course, next step will be facial recognition I guess. Nr's of kilos drugs seized in Rotterdam, but hundreds of thousands will make it, through here, in other ports or even just out in the North Sea and then picked up with a fishing boat, or smaal submarines: - 2016 = 13,000 kg - 2017 = 9,500 kg - 2018 = 22,600 kg - 2019 = 34,500 kg - 2020 = 41,500 kg

@@jimdonny 😅 you're right it is Muggsey! In my defence I'm from the UK and the only reason I know of him is because of the space jam movie and the record he set. Otherwise I don't even know footballers! I'm like a girl in that field.

@Mekehl USPS Loses billions of dollars every year. It’s a total failure.

Interesting, some folks say harsh laws don’t figure in a criminals mind. But listening to this guy, it was central to where he practiced his trade!

I can't believe he figured out which chemicals to use both in the making but in the extraction - there's no handbook for that.

yeah, but count how many people died, or have their lives destroyed in prison, all their young years wasted, etc, etc... He is trying to make lemonade out of a lemon... I remember a young woman put in prison in thailand for smuggling and she doesn't understand what happened and she says to her parents :"Don't worry about me". She doesn't understand how bad things are for her... So, no, no, no, no crime... With his business skills he could have organized any other import/export company. If drugs were that profitable, nobody would have ran any real business...

Thanks for sharing and keeping it real Pieter! I just purchased a copy of your book. I know it’ll be a wild ride as South American prisons are some of the toughest in the world and you’re an extremely lucky man to have come out alive! I can only imagine how bad it haunts you. I wish you much success on your legit business projects going forward!

Very interesting and genuine guy. I hope they make a movie about him

Amazing information 👌

16:56 I literally burst out laughing when he said this. The guy is obviously really intelligent and has now chosen to do the right thing; good that he can look back and laugh about some of it now, whilst educating us.

There are many well spoken educated high level drug dealers , they are the ones you least expect and keep a very low profile, your more familiar with the stereotypical low level boasty flashy street drug dealer who are just the foot soldiers for the more reserved dealers you are referring to.

Seriously, who does law enforcement believe still buys the idea that the "war on drugs" is for our own good anymore? Getting involved in crime like this is always the worst thing someone can do to themselves, until it's one of them that's caught.
