It's Raining Meth (Full Episode) | To Catch a Smuggler

[@aldomoro69]

i know most people watch this bc of smugglers and drugs, but the part about the african monoliths was so interesting, i hope we get more scenes like that in the next episodes

[@Sabrina-im4lo]

Me too

[@Grandmotherof3]

I agree. That was the best catch of all!

[@joyfulk9services]

💯 they should have segments or full episodes dedicated to that! One thing I don't like about this shoe though, j really want to see the investigation from beginning to end when they catch the person it's being mailed to 😂 i wish I could be the fly on the wall for that part!

[@bradylabrum7072]

Just because you said this, I hope we get less African monolith-esque things

[@VIRALLYSPEAKINGTV]

How much of this stuff do you think is being smuggled? I don’t think it’s enough for a whole show lol

[@Monk-eee]

I like how they include when they're wrong too! Because they like to show you when they catch everyone and how the cops always have to "look good" and "be right" but they're wrong too sometimes. It helps humanize them and hopefully teaches them too that NOT EVERYONE IS A SUSPECT sometimes they're just traveling and confused - not smugglers!

[@michaelgeorge4780]

@@shyone8386 Nope, not a shot. In fact, it would make the issue worse. California where I am legalized Marijuana, and guess what? Illegal grows actually went up, because the taxes on weed are so high that people would rather just go to a dealer than go to a dispensary. The only people in CA who visit a dispensary are tourists, everyone else has a dealer lol. The advantage of drug decriminalization is that it allows addicts to seek help, and stops prosecution of people who are possessing. But it does not in any way stop the black market one bit. I still believe that drugs should be decriminalized, but people act like that's going to immediately dry up all the crime, when in fact it wouldn't even dent drug dealers' profits. And as long as there is profit to be made, there will be violence to control it. The issue was that we made it illegal in the first place!

What that doctor said about artifacts and the importance of them to a country/community, it made me tear up, because so much of Korea's history was also taken, stolen, ripped from our coutry and like with any artifacts, should be returned to its rightful owner. I believe SO much in what we, the USA, stand for, and all the good they do returning all these artifacts. I just pray that more artifacts (for all countries on earth) should find its way back to their land instead of being sold, when its significance is more than what it is being sold in the black market for.

I feel so bad for a lot of these drug smugglers as a lot of them do it out of desperation.

Perhaps disappointed or bruised, drugs may bring a temporary happiness or peace. I know a peace that passes all understanding. And it is not in the world of drugs.
