Some drug traffickers use existing brands to "market" themselves.
Here's some Afghan heroin seized and destroyed by the international coalition on the Arabian Sea in 2021:
i need to clean my glasses i thought i finally found the secret ingredient in my beaver brand mustard
Id ride in a bently, I wouldnt ride in a spacex or tesler
it's okay to use a hard A with teslers it's one of those slurs that never goes out of style
Eh?
i'm comparing the T word to the N word. i never said i was clever
This one went over yer head hahaha
My elbows are up
Eh is prounced as "A"
I NEVER SAID I WAS CLEVER wooosh
Any other company and I'd probably go yeah, the dealers did that, but I wholeheartedly believe Tesla has a cocaine manufacturing department.
This one being fake doesn't prevent a real one from existing.
I only get that Johnny Chimpo branded stuff. It's Afghanistanimation!
I was about to say, who would ever brand their cocaine, whether it was actually SpaceX or some random cartel? I would get the "brand identification" argument at the end user stage, but marking your bulk shipment of drugs just seems dumb.
