Celery Smuggling
Use celery to smuggle water soluble drugs.

Celery is very good at absorbing water up through its capillaries. It absorbs water until the osmotic pressure is balanced.

So, dry out some celery, put some cocaine in some water, and let the celery soak overnight. The next day you have a celery stick full of coke water. Do this a few thousand times over, and you have a vegetable shipment worth every penny!

Upon arrival, the celery is ground, dried, and filtered, leaving behind a valuable yield of smuggled drug.

Description (displayed with the short name and URL.)







       Not grinded. The word is *ground*.
Have you tried this? Does celery still do osmosis once you dry it out? Do you really have to grind it, or can you put a stick of celery up your nose?

       But how do you smuggle the celery in?

Worldgineer, Aug 03 2005
  

       Up your ass, of course.

       Doh! *edit*. Thanks, [ldishler].   

       Wow, there's obviously a lot of ground I haven't covered yet. Is celery even legal???

       Well, if you're a young woman, you could say that it's lunch (because most people just go with the stereotype), but I suppose shoving it up where the sun don't shine has it's advantages.

That reminds me of an old chant on the school bus!.

       It also reminds me of an old man on the school bus.

       By first drying the celery in rock salt, one would increase its affinity for drug solution. As well as impart a delicious flavor.

       Break one celery stick, and the dog will sniff you out & you get busted.   

       How would this be advantageous to simple bags of water/solution?

       If you are going to mix cocaine with liquid, why not cola?   

       Celery will get you high by itself. Chew it up into a mush and hold it in your mouth covering as much of your tongue as possible. Now wait for yourself to feel bad about something. You will feel your tongue start to suck stuff out of the celery mush in response to the bad feelings in your gut or where ever the bad feelings are manifested. This is the way animals are supposed to operate, mouths full of chewed up vegetables, tongue sucking emotional balance out of the mush, and other senses aiming the way to the new vegetables that will better balance the emotions.

       You're an odd one, [Jesus].

       We once thought of a way of smuggling coke into the Netherlands (my hunting grounds) at New Year's eve. This might require some background info to explain. Here, on New Year's eve, there's a traditional sweet snack served, called "oliebollen", literally translated as "oil balls" . These are balls of sweet dough with or without rainins, deep-fried in oil, served with a royal amount of powdered sugar on top. Now, one could easily replace the powdered sugar with coke when you smuggle it across. Customs officers will just see a big plate full of sugared oliebollen. Of course, the main drawback is that sniffing your line from a greasy ball really doesn't look that cool on your New Year's Eve-party.

       someone should try to cross breed the cocaine plant with fruits or veggies....

IcarusByNight, Aug 04 2005
  

       And of course these highly trained customs officers wouldn't be at all suspicious that someone was trying to smuggle a food only made and eaten in the Netherlands INTO the Netherlands...

hippo, Aug 04 2005
  

       perhaps he means OUT of the Netherlands.   

       what do people hunt there?

       Not what but who, Windy Miller.
