[QUOTE=zach1193;47664147]You honestly believe that selling or doing drugs is like the movies don't you? But I can understand in that case, if you really have no experience at all or something, but many people know someone or enjoy the drug every once in a while.
Calling the police is just stupid and potentially harmful to yourself, in that situation, you'd have been better off just flushing down a toilet or leaving it there. Like what are the police really going to do or gain with a tiny baggy of meth, prolly do the same thing I suggested earlier considering they'd certainly know of someone, being in that line of work[/QUOTE]
Except I just moved out of an area that was heavy in drug trafficking where that shit DID occur.
And are you seriously suggesting "most cops are corrupt anyway so you may as well do it"?
[QUOTE=zach1193;47664112]hahahaha the "right" thing, to each their own moral compass I suppose, but we could really get into the morals of it and I don't see how selling a drug or using one is ever "immoral". It's beyond me.
Was a hilarious episode :v:[/QUOTE]
Oh ya Im sure you would totally snort/sell some random cocaine you found in a banana box.

[QUOTE=zach1193;47664583]I didn't say start a career selling coke, but if you come across, why not make a couple thousand dollars in a day? Sure there's potential risk, but it's certainly worth it if you got rid of it without issue, cause really who couldn't use some extra money. I have a bad feeling a majority of the folks calling me dumb for thinking so, must have lived some sheltered suburban no fun lives. There's worse drugs than cocaine for sure.[/QUOTE]
No you're being rated dumb because it would be fucking dumb to sell/use it, first off, you have NO idea if its cut with something else, and the off chance whoever shipped it finds out where it went somehow. That and the potential ruining-your-life sort of situation you'd be in if you got caught with it.
Ignoring the already-said problems with selling the coke or using it.... what do you do whenever they find out they're missing a crate? And what about the morals of all the other people who found it?
Oh dear, you guys have a lot of misconceptions about drugs apparently if we're speaking misconceptions. first off lets have a good laugh at the guy who said a responsible drug user just goes about "shoving random powder up their nose". and then to say because it wasn't the drug you expected you're automatically dependent on another drug you got by accident? it doesn't work that way at all, and takes lots of repeat use before you'd be considered an addict.
But you're completely right, most people who go using coke aren't very responsible users because coke (as a powdered drug) can be and is almost always cut with another product. However please note that just because it's cut, doesn't mean the cut is going to do any real harm, yes there's the scare stories of it being cut with glass and god knows what else, but as a dealer you just aren't going to do that, dealers are just other humans like me and you and don't have a vendetta against the world, they just want to push their product as much as possible, and they soon learn that selling a bunk, or bullshit product is not going to yield many positive results.
On top of all that if this was bundled shipped across the world coke, it's probably quite pure and valuable sooo there goes the "accidentally meth argument" not to mention all you'd need to do is perform one or two very simple tests to prove what substance it is, but no one knows any of those things right? cause all drug users are morons? it certainly seems some of you believe that. And just gonna go by statistics here and say, well, yes the poorer lower class people most certainly are more at risk to take and use/ sell illegal drugs, just because you didn't doesn't mean that everyone in similar social classes don't.

Well no I personally probably wouldn't use it, I don't even really enjoy cocaine, but fuck yea I'd sell it, that stuff is easy as hell to get rid of at a bar, or a club or some party environment
[QUOTE=zach1193;47664078]I never understand why someone who works at aldi's or any lower class form of employment, would turn in something as valuable as that. I know it sounds silly, but instead of gaining nothing from your find, you could either use some and have a fun night with some friends, sell it, or shit probably both with how much was there.[/QUOTE]

And again what your morals are may be different for another, doesn't make one human and one not. I just personally have nothing against drugs (illegal or not) and see them as highly misrepresented usually, and most of these comments seem to support that unfortunately. Again not telling everyone to go do coke, just explaining illegal drugs aren't satin incarnate.

fuck the box ratings man if possible I would definitely try to snag as many bricks as humanly possible. What are the drug dealers going to do call in and be like "oh actually there were 20 bricks not 15".
you can't just click the sell button on a pack of cocaine bananas guys
honestly i don't think it's worth it to get involved with drugs business wise unless you know exactly what you're doing
[editline]5th May 2015[/editline]
from what i've seen if you HAVE TO get into drugs, trafficking is a lot better. the pay is still good and it's more no-questions-asked, without pulling you into the local drug politics or whateverr
This has happened many times in danish supermarkets as well, banana delivery from Colombia with cocaine included
Just remember when selling it to give a little bit away for free the first time only.

Imagine you're just an average dude with no real connections who knows nothing about how crime works. How the hell are you gonna move all that coke and not get caught?

That's a valid point. I guess I was speaking as if I personally had found one of the stashes
although i'd be tempted if i found it, a big bag of white powder could literally be anything. there are loads of drugs that come in a white powdered form all with very different dosages and effects
it's extremely dangerous to treat unknown white powder as cocaine

Risk vs return. There's actually a fairly big question you'd have to ask yourself at first. Where would you actually turn this product into money? Do you know any drug dealers who could move this kind of capital?
Can you move it yourself? Are you willing to risk it? Sure, if there was hard cash stuck inside those boxes, you might consider keeping at least some. But drugs?

Imagine the would-be Druglord's surprise as what he snorted wasn't in fact cocaine, but instead a bundle of anthrax spores.

Beware of those edges, son.
My brother actually works at an Aldi and the pay is pretty good in comparison to the hours he's working.
But aside from that: Dealing drugs is a completely different thing than just keeping a bunch of cash that accidentally showed up on your doorstep. Aside from that not everyone feels the need to go the easy way and just sell that stuff.

Sounds to me like the easy way would be giving it to the cops...

Where there's smoke there's fire. You really think someone just forgot about such a huge amount of cocaine? If the police has it, whoever had it will probably back off because its origin and owner is being investigated (especially such a high amount). If some guy just nicks it, then they [I]will[/I] try to find it.
You can get fucked up by a dealer just because he claims you were selling on his turf, imagine doing that with his own stuff.

Again, real life isn't a movie, friend.
From what I know of zack, if anyone had connections who could sell coke all that coke, it'd be him.
That's probably why he took the stance he did.

Tablet so searching is limited. Numbers are old we hit 22 and passed that to maybe 24 now. But yeah they will try to find it. Let's imagine. Then some guy pops up and magical starts selling a load of cocaïne. People buying it will talk about it and it will ripple around. Criminal experts here fear the organisations as they don't care and fire full automatic weapons with armour piercing rounds in the afternoon at times at police. Some security footage even shows they can't even properly use the weapons as the recoil is larger than they expect[/QUOTE]
Yea, but why the fuck would I sell to people I don't know? and shit, you could just sell it all in one bulk weight and be done with it. And again we're talking one brick of coke, once it's gone it's gone, and that won't take long if you know anything about coke and how people use it. I would have no more afterward, and I highly doubt I'd have it long enough for "people/cops" to figure anything out. Worst thing is I could get robbed selling the whole thing at once, but again, people I know etc etc.
Like I've been saying if you aren't in the game or don't really have any idea how it goes, all you have to go on is statistics like most of you have. Which yes, are fine to use and such, but at the end of the day, there are always exceptions, and in this case it's really not all that hard to stay an exception.
[QUOTE=Source;47664092]To some people money isn't as valuable as doing the right thing. And Aldi is actually not a bad place to work and actually a decent wage.[/QUOTE]
The right thing? The right thing would be to find who the coke belongs to and return it to them.
The best thing would be to keep it, test it's purity, and then sell it if it's good.
Can someone explain to me how you just sell a bunch of cocaine? You guys make it out to just like walking out and asking people if they'd like to buy some.

My dad has a story of a friend of his who found a bunch of pot plants on his property hidden deep in the woods, and so he cut them down, loaded up a truck bed full and then decided instead of burning them like he intended, that he'd try and sell them. The first person they asked ended up being undercover and they went to jail. Moral of the story, normal people don't make good drug dealers.

Well if you have connections like alot of people do, all you have to do is give them a supergood price.
"Hey coke dealer, ill sell you an ounce of coke for $1000."
Obviously do not sell to anybody you dont trust or know
