Ultralight Plane
The vast majority of illegal drug traffic across the Mexican border comes by land. But as DEA agents crack down on mules in tunnels, the wild blue yonder is looking more and more attractive. In 2011, reports started to come in of cartel forces using ultralight aircraft, powered by an engine equivalent to a lawnmower, to ferry 250-pound packages of drugs into Arizona, Texas and California, dropping them at designated spots and immediately heading home. Since the planes are so small and fly so slow, it’s difficult to pick them up by radar.

If you've had the same haircut since you were 8, it's time for a change, my friend.

just Google it.
Many years ago while working at a state prison, we came across a drug scheme. We kept finding what appeared to be homemade incense. To make a long story short, it was found that there was finely ground marijuana mixed with the spices. There is more to this, and some of it was really humorous, but I dont have the time and the room to tell the whole story.

It makes the drug sound like is bad even though it has helped thousands of opiate users with their recovery from using illegal substances. It's a shame this article makes Suboxone sound like a bad thing.

I am also pretty sure it is not Subozone I believe they ment Suboxone. This is a very bad mistake that should have been caught before publishing!
