is this the "dedicated shipping line" that some vendors mention?

Yay another thread!

$200mil sounds like a big number to us common folk but it's peanuts compared to what is pouring in daily through US/CA/EU/AUS borders to quench our insatiable thirst to consume everything and everyone... Think about the number of $200mil shipments that go through for a single bust to happen.

Illicit drug use is through the roof and it's obvious in any for the lack of a better term "western" city when comparing now to 10, 20 years ago. The sheer scale of *insert drug of choice* fiends stumbling around... Granted this is personal experience - I haven't been everywhere, but I do have direct contact with the nightlife that a lot of folk are not exposed to. And I am not talking about skid row rather regular people with jobs and houses who just casually send half their substantial income directly underground.

I get everyone's excitement trying to connect the dots but speculation is futile in my opinion. I really doubt that the grey peptides we consume in miligrams compare to the grams people put up their noses and who knows where else.

What's my point here

If this stuff was going through the port of Long Beach then it wasn’t peptides. Small high value stuff like that (unless it’s straight up cocaine and some such) goes by air.

This is how I always envisioned a peptocalypse to look — simultaneous pressure from China and US governments, probably driven by pharma influence.

How long have the meat heads been getting aas from China? I suspect if money is to be made they will find a way. I think.

Not equivalent. Billions of dollars weren’t on the line. The biggest and most influential corporations in the world weren’t lobbying policymakers in the middle of historic trade negotiation and reorientation. The anavar and clenbuterol trade is just not a good analogy for what is going on right now.

I don’t think overseas peptides will disappear but the days of cheap, straightforward access might be behind us. Hopefully I am wrong.

I agree, but the days of the "special line" where the peps are imported in bulk and then labeled and sent to customers may soon be over. It may get to the point where direct ship is the only option and that brings additional risk.

it mentioned somewhere that peps were seized?

 

[clayd]

Ok I found the indictment. It's all stuff from August 2023-may 2024. Just unsealed now. Nothing to do with current goings on

This is an old case from 2023 but yes this is definitely an example of "special line" shipping

Direct lines always had your name and address on original label. Remove USPS sticker, take a look at the sticker under it.

They seized R-22, which depletes ozone layer (and is expensive because it is longer manufactured in the US), but is less dangerous to everything except the environment than the replacements EPA is pushing.

Got some proof?

Yes, right in the video if you pay attention to what he is saying
