Cocaine Submarine
The sheer volume of cocaine that comes out of the jungles of Colombia is enough to make traditional smuggling methods unworkable. So what did the geniuses of the cartels do? Built their own submarines. Narco-subs were first spotted in 1993 and have continued to be used to the present day. The boats can carry as much as 180 tons of cocaine, and are constructed from fiberglass to travel just below the surface. If one is spotted, the crew simply sinks the boat and abandons it to the bottom of the sea so there’s no evidence.

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!
