I wonder if his customers have to pay an extra baggage (baggie?) fee like the airlines.
Drug dealer levies fuel surcharge
First came the airlines, then the pizza delivery drivers. Now, even drug dealers are charging a fuel surcharge.
An Indiana dealer asked a customer to pay him an extra $US25 “for gas money to deliver the cocaine,” court documents showed.
They were meeting about 32 kilometre away from the dealer’s home in Hammond, Indiana, according to documents posted on The Smoking Gun website.
With petrol retailing at about $US4 a gallon (3.79 litres), the dealer likely made a small profit on the fuel charge.
When you pay more for the gas than you do for the drugs, what are you addicted to?
Despite significant recent public concern and media attention to the environmental impacts of drugs, few studies in the United States have systematically compared the life-cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with drugs production against long-distance distribution, aka “drugs-miles.” We find that although drugs is transported long distances in general (1640 km delivery and 6760 km life-cycle supply chain on average) the GHG emissions associated with drugs are dominated by the production phase, contributing 83% of the average U.S. household’s 8.1 t CO2e/yr footprint for drugs consumption. Transportation as a whole represents only 11% of life-cycle GHG emissions, and final delivery from producer to retail contributes only 4%. Different drugs groups exhibit a large range in GHG-intensity; on average, cocaine is around 150% more GHG-intensive than marijuana or meth. Thus, we suggest that drug choice shift can be a more effective means of lowering an average household’s drugs-related climate footprint than “buying local.” Changing drug choice achieves more GHG reduction than buying all locally sourced drugs.
Noname, I’m sure potheads are really concerned about the effect of their excesses on the planet. So do “greenies” support home-grown drugs for personal use?
