            iirc it’s to immediately staunch bleeding during eye surgery. or oral surgery. maybe both! as you can see all i remember is that cocaine drops exist as legit medicine

    Guess Elon’s weekly shipment will be late. Probably scrambling to replace it off the streets like some kind of nose-mounted vacuum cleaner.

      Some drug traffickers use existing brands to “market” themselves.

      Here’s some Afghan heroin seized and destroyed by the international coalition on the Arabian Sea in 2021:

        I was about to say, who would ever brand their cocaine, whether it was actually SpaceX or some random cartel? I would get the “brand identification” argument at the end user stage, but marking your bulk shipment of drugs just seems dumb.

      It’s real. I used to buy Nike brand ecstasy all the time.

      If you have a Nike store in your town, I recommend you go in and ask for the triple stacks.

      MDMA pills are often branded with various logos from all sorts of companies and IPs (without permission, of course), so I imagine it was something similar to that.

      a pile of "Orange Teslas" MDMA pills

    I love how they have to note it was “fake space x packaging.” I don’t believe that for a second. This was probably elons weekend stash and he is going to be quite upset.
