SYDNEY: Australian and Pakistani navy ships have seized almost two tonnes of cannabis resin in a drug bust off Oman, officers described Tuesday as a setback for militants.

HMAS Melbourne and Pakistan’s PNS Alamgir joined forces to intercept and board a dhow east of Oman’s Masriah Island, where they found 1,951 kilograms of cannabis resin hidden in a secret compartment in its fishing hold.

Estimating the haul to have a street value of US$102 million, Melbourne commander Brian Schlegel said its seizure would help staunch funds going to militants that rely on illegal drug shipments for income.

“The 62 bags contain cannabis resin bricks, almost 4,000 bricks in total. Each brick is more than enough to buy an AK-47 or IED (improvised explosive device) components,” said Schlegel.

“Removing the funding that flows from the sale of these drugs has a direct impact on a terrorist organisation’s ability to buy weapons in the future.”

The Melbourne is in the Indian Ocean on global anti-piracy operations and has intercepted nine suspected pirate vessels since leaving Australia in August 2013.

During its mission, it has seized 543 kilograms of heroin estimated to be worth in excess of US$1 billion, including a 353 kilogram bust off the coast of Tanzania earlier this month.

But needs to become more potent in submarine force and in surface fleet as well.

I've never seen more than an ounce of weed in one go, imagine TONS lol.

Smoking too much THC in one go sucks though, you just end up really sleepy.

And that often happens when you get a lot of weed, the tendency is to smoke excessively large amounts of it, when medium amounts give you a better high.

I think everyone on this thread has already had too much weed. I see administrator-turned doctor and people talking about illegal stuff. Time for me to check in.

Cannabis resin is Hash what type of Hash was it? Moroccan? Manali? would be interesting to know the origins.

You would get so high of the fumes if they were to incinerate it in the open!

 

[ahsan sunny]

[Hyperion]

Bastards. They had to go out and bust cannabis of all things............
