In Dutch?

6 October 2009

I don’t know anything about this… but Ana Maria Salazar (Mexico Today) picked up this intriguing (and not yet explained) item:

A pair of trained dogs at the Mexico City airport sniffed out a large shipment of cocaine – more than 10 kilos – inside a container coming from Amsterdam… Federal Police seized the drugs…

They grow tulips, not coca, in Netherlands, and I always thought it was cocaine came into Mexico from Colombia or Peru for shipment TO, not FROM, decadent wealthy northern countries.

This is not the source of cocaine.

This is not the source of cocaine.

And this is not a tulip

And this is not a tulip

More to the point, wouldn’t marijuana be the Dutch export contraband of choice?

Then again, sending that to Mexico would be a distinct case of coals to Newcastle…
