I Make $60K a Month Smuggling Californian Weed into New York | WEEDIQUETTE
Ойын-сауық
Has the legalization of marijuana ushered in a golden age of dope smuggling? Krishna follows a shipment of weed from California to New York to find out.
This episode of Weediquette first aired on VICE TV in 2017. Weed laws in the US have since changed.

Mushrooms did wonders in my life. Over the course of my life, I've suffered from uncontrollable, depression, anxiety, alcohol, smoking, and illicit pills addiction. Imagine carving heavy chains for a long time and then all of a sudden that burden is gone. This is something that really needs to be used globally to help people with similar health challenges.

I don’t think people realize how much personal information he gave out during this interview. The fbi/dea just needs to look for a man with registered growhouse/an overweight nephew aged 22-28, who has had sepsis. This man regularly buys salmon, drives fast, and likely has a criminal record due to drug distribution during his youth. They subpoena the journalist’s phone records, find him, simply tap the phones/track gps and boom, he’s done. He’s already incriminated himself with this interview, even going as far as to demonstrate how to traffic. Please guys, never give out interviews like this. Edit, additionally, as pointed out by comments, he has a tattoo on his arm, making him even more identifiable. 2nd edit: As pointed out by comments, his vehicle is also shown, another easily identifiable marker. 3rd edit: -Tries to warn people not to talk to journalists because it can expose you to the feds and gives for examples from the video. “Lol shut up bro, you’re just a snitch/fed”

They make plants illegal in order to create actually illegal/ unConstitutional industries and institutions, such as Law Enforcement/ funding a massive Militarize Police/ Criminal Justice/ and Prison Industrial Complex. None of this was by accident. It was all by design and a side effect of Offshoring our Manufacturing Industries to China, Mexico, and elsewhere. This is quite literally the so-called "Service Economy": A massive increase in the size of Government and Bureaucracy which our Founding Fathers warned us about, which taxes everything unjustly, makes plants illegal, and diminishes Liberty, Freedom, Constitutional and Human Rights, as a result. The reality is they want to employ people so they will vote for Democrats, who will tax and spend us to death, so as to put us into ever increasing massive National Debt, to pay illegal Usury Interest to the Private Central European Bankers/ Rothschild Family. To be fair, there was one or two Republicans (the Criminal Bush Crime Family) which began our path towards National Debt which can never be repaid and a national Budget which can never be balanced = Debt Slavery for all of us.
USPS and other mail services is where 99% of marijuana gets moved. I used to recieve packs from Cali about 5-6 times a month via USPS. and as crazy as it might sound I used PO boxes. mailmen in Houston would steal weed when its out in their truck and deliver you an empty box. but they couldnt steal it within the PO where they are on camera. so I would get a PO box at the nicest POs in town and buy a bunch of bs online along with the cali package and rotate POs to where I would only get 1 box per month at each PO. never got any of my weed stolen nor got caught once I switched to that method. im out the game now, finished college and I got a good degree so im done risking felonies.

In case anyone was curious I did the math on how many joints you could actually make with 250 tons. For this example I'm using 1 gram joints. The conversion from 250 tons to grams is the equivalent of 500,000 pounds to grams. Using the conversion of 1 pounds equaling to 453.592 grams, I ended up with the number "226,796,000". Meaning, more or less, over eight years he smuggled 226,796,000 joints worth of weed.

I worked in corrections. I met a guy in his late 50’s who got caught moving close to 500 pounds of marijuana from California to Chicago. He received 30 years in the Feds for it. The way he got caught was a taillight that went out in his rented U-haul truck on I-70 in Kansas.
I knew the sheriff guy sounded familiar! That's Clay Higgins who's a member of the U.S. House
I remember the classic “How to sell drugs” done by VICE. This is what I need
I live in NYS, we have "illegal" shops in every town/city and the legal shops are unable to get approved by the state and have been shutting down.

So the NYC guy buys what looks like 1 lb for 2800 then sells it for 6400 making 3600. So he basically buys an ounce for 225 and sells for 400. The driver said he can fit 50 lb in the car, so if he sells 50 at 2800 ea he makes 140,000 per trip tax free. For selling a weed that grows well with just water. :)

12:10 part of the issue i see with the law enforcement response is the lack of knowledge. the interviewer suggests that the dude may need to measure out his weed to make sure he knows how much he's putting in his edibles, and the old school cop still thinks that the only use for a scale regarding weed is trapping
The opening is perfect. You can debate the drug but you can't debate the human/criminal behavior and that damage.

The fact that we get free videos from VICE on KZread is priceless., keeping the education and knowledge alive. 👍👍👍 By the way, may I also remind you the fact that our Native American population in our motherland, the Continent of America before the European Colonizers arrived, was around 15 millions, while the European population in their motherland, the Continent of Europe was around 25 millions. Today, Native American population is 15 million, while the European population, in the Continents of America + Europe, is a staggering TWO BILLION! A shocking sad truth. In my humble opinion, it's about time to decolonize the Colonized lands, and return it to rightful owners Native American people. Notorious global cardinal crimes the Christian West has committed, and benefited a great deals, such as Slavery & Colonialism had long been over, why on earth is notorious Colonization still lingering on, may I ask?

Ghost. I feel him. I hope to God he doesn't get busted for doing this. He revealed too much info about the car, about his uncle, etc... and especially showing his forehead. They could use all that to trace him, and what's more, use it to convict him and get a longer sentence, citing his "flagrant disregard" and other nonsense. I love the guy, awesome dude, I hope he get out clean. This was a risky thing to do, and not worth it.

Technically, if you are trafficking weed across state lines and you have a clean record with no felonies and no warrants, there is no probable cause to stop you unless you made some type of traffic violation. Thing to do if you are stopped is to ask if you are being detained and why, and tell them you don't consent to searches. Answer any questions with "I wont answer any questions without my lawyer present." any search at that point would be a violation of your rights. Most Police institutions are corrupt and would try to make this as difficult as possible but it might give you a better fighting chance. (I am not a lawyer and this isn't legal advice. This is for educational purposes.) lol
