Experts estimated that the packages would have introduced upwards of 800,000 doses of crack cocaine into the Canadian illicit drug market, according to Kelowna RCMP. That’s enough for every resident in the City of Kelowna to receive nearly 6 doses each, the force added.
Was the cocaine already processed into crack prior to shipping?
If not, why would they just assume that it would all be made into crack later?
Or is this just authorities trying to spin drugs into the biggest, scariest numbers possible?

Blockchain would have prevented this. The coke would have been tracked and delivered to its rightful owner.

My money’s on this one. Values are always overinflated for the press releases.

On the plus side at least there are a bunch of addicts out there who are now getting some badly needed potassium.

Some people have all the luck. Lord… just once let me be the guy who finds a bale on the beach or has something erroneous delivered to my house.
It’s just cocaine, what could it cost, 10 dollars?

My parents have had undeliverable grey market edibles returned to their house! Twice! Maybe more and they don’t tell me after I seized the last batch from them.

My first thought, too. Was it crack already? Or just the potential to be crack? When these Canadians perhaps didn’t do it intentionally, there are racist undertones with going down the crack path.
Also, what is a dose of crack? Is there a specific international unit which defines a dose? Of crack cocaine?
