At first I was thinking, oh so what! but...
police found 18lbs (8kg) of cocaine, 157lbs (71kg) of amphetamine tablets and more than 220lbs (100kg) of cannabis! Fock-a-do!

Awesome. That's some serious go-juice.

You'd never have to hit the same pipe twice.
When I saw the first report, I thought , eh, they found a Bag'O'Weed and a pipe.

Who cares.
But all that contraband, wow.
100kg of weed.... that's got to be nearly the size of a haybale. :o
