US Customs and Border Protection officers seized nearly two tons of marijuana packed in phony limes near the Texas-Mexico border last week, according to authorities.

The 3,947 pounds of weed came through a commercial shipment of key limes in Pharr, Texas, on Jan. 30, officials said.

The truck hauling the "produce" crossed the Pharr-Reynosa International Bridge along the Texas-Mexico border near the Gulf of Mexico. Over 34,000 of the fake fruit packages were discovered by an imaging inspection system and narcotics K-9 team.

What were the smugglers thinking? How could narco dogs not detect the odor of 4000 pounds of marijuana? You might not even have to be a dog to smell that.

“How...”

Not very well apparently.

The pic at the link shows what looks like wax paper, wrapped around a ball of pot, and painted green.

Looks like sh*t. Your glasses would have to be pretty weak not to notice.

Sounds like someone took 53 pounds of pot that were supposed to be on the trunk. I’ll bet the seller represented that he was going to deliver 2 tons.
