The Hayward warehouse, in the San Francisco Bay area, was under surveillance for a month before law enforcement officials launched a raid on June 21, 1991. In what is considered the largest heroin bust in America history, authorities confiscated 1,200 pounds of China White heroin at a projected value between $2-4 million. Five suspects were arrested. One of the more interesting (and tabloid) side-notes of the Hayward heroin affair was the list of investors in the warehouse, one of which was future Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.

I was scratching my head over the same thing. Portsmouth Virginia, to the Pacific Ocean. Seems like a long trip. The article semi-explains it:
The U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Harriet Lane was involved last month in a drug interdiction operation in the Pacific Ocean that led to the seizure of 5,000 pounds of cocaine, worth $69 million.
I am guessing this means there was an ongoing operation, which this vessel was taking part in, in the Pacific. However, it usually operates out of Virginia. I'm assuming it's like FBI agents from NY taking part in a large sting operation in TX. Otherwise I'm still confused.

I saw plenty of it in highschool and university, and it generally wasn't rich people. It's not exactly expensive, especially if you're free-basing it.
The fact your friends aren't doing it just means you're not friends with crack heads. That's a good thing. But there are still a lot of crack heads.

I always figured the "bust" was how they get it across the country. Just have a bust then the cops sell it right back to the dealers on the other. Side. For a. Cut.
