What a waste. If it weren’t for cocaine, the pyramids would never have been built. And the ‘Roaring 20’s’ would’ve been boring as hell and not as many great inventions. LOL

Surprising (to me) there’s a website that tracks this - much like commodity trading, LOL.

I’m going to guess this burning event was attended by high officials.

Pretty typical police work; multiply the gram price by the number of grams.
