Jayzus, imagine the square footage of coca plants it would take to get that yield.

I'd be willing to bet that with something that size it's at least in part cut with something else, but regardless: that's a lotta plant matter.

I wonder... where will they end up storing 29 tons of cocaine? 🤔

In two 12 ton containers.
