Why not dump it in the ocean?
Then people would be snorting fish...............
“landing fear”
smh
Some of the bales, etc have a potential to float and thus float ashore.
Not sure why it matters whether they used the largest plane or not. It is a deliverly vehicle.
There is a facility in Indiana (Crane, possibly) that has the ability to incinerate nerve gas. Seems like a good place to neutralize fentanyl, and other drugs.

China Lake Naval Weapons Testing Facility???????

Death Valley seems more appropriate/ironic...
why not just drop the drugs in the ocean and use them for naval target practice?
