Summary
The Colombian navy intercepted a semi-submersible carrying cocaine in the Pacific, uncovering a new smuggling route to Australia.
The vessel, capable of traveling thousands of miles without refueling, was part of a lucrative operation targeting Australia, where cocaine fetches six times the U.S. price.
This was the third such vessel seized, with maps confirming the route.
The operation, part of the multinational “Orion” initiative, seized 225 tonnes of cocaine and arrested over 400 people globally.
Colombian authorities highlighted links between South American and Oceanian crime networks.
I’ve a relative who began an unplanned LSD-trip while driving…
I’ve been informed by a psychiatrist & medical-researcher ( my dad, but we … lived very separate lives, & didn’t get along ) that LSD’s stored in body-fat, so it can produce a flashback ANY time that THAT globule of fat gets metabolized…
I’d prohibit people who’ve done LSD from EVER having a pilot’s license, & driver’s license … would have to be massively-justified.
The others-on-the-road never consented to having LSD-users tripping-out in motor-vehicles, on the same road…
We prohibit drunk-driving, shouldn’t we prohibit LSD-driving, too?
& if LSD’s got inherent flashback capability, due to the way our biology can store it for later…
shouldn’t that be considered in the public-safety law?
Responsibility-archy isn’t identical with no-accountability/no-responsibility/narcissism’s-got-rights! paradigm, it’s true,
but I’d rather that people either force-metabolize all their bodyfat, to remove LSD-flashback possibility, before getting their license, then just randomly lose-their-minds-chemically while piloting/driving…
XOR, if they won’t eradicate the flashback-capability, then they don’t need to be piloting/driving, do they?

I’m not a medical researcher, but I can tell you that the random LSD flashback, as you’re describing, is not evidence-based. As with many drugs, LSD releases glutamate and can trigger psychosis in people predisposed to psychosis. This can lead people to believe that LSD is somehow being stored in their body and activated later on. Something similar may be happening when people have a bad experience smoking weed and insist it was “laced” with another drug. LSD is processed by the liver and isn’t “stored” anywhere, unless you count blood during the several hours before it’s fully metabolized. Also, we already prohibit LSD-driving. Driving recklessly while under the influence of a substance can get you arrested and get your license revoked.
