    you can't make this shit up. :lol: I wonder if the head of the drug cartel said "trust me, this catapult will be huuuge. It'l be the biggest, strongest catapult you've ever seen. And the US drug consumer is going to pay for it, believe me."

    The thing is it is way cheaper than a tunnel and a four man team (one loader, one operator, two spotters) can quickly and cheaply move tons. If it gets captured who cares because you can cheaply build another one.

    My thing is why bother with throwing POT over the border? I mean, even in states where it's still banned, the market is already saturated with dealers. :shrug:

    Mexican weed is shit. This seems like an awful lot of trouble.

    Pot makes up the bulk of the cartel smuggling by volume.

    Trump's base won't care - the wall is meant to keep Mexicans out, not pot.

    The Mexican weed market is dying a slow death. Nobody wants that shit. Most of the good stuff is grown in the USA. The Mexican stuff is largely sold in places where you can't get high grade. Colorado is NOT buying Mexican weed. Canada might be buying a lot of it. Orders are down....so why not throw it over the wall. :shrug:
