One-year anniversary.  

I recently started working with several off-duty NPD officers and have more information as of a couple weeks ago. One of the officers I work with said he hadn't heard of it before I showed him the video but he could tell me it would have been sent to GBI (Georgia Bureau of Investigation) instead of Carrollton. It seems that's protocol for a more serious drug find like this. That's consistent with Carrollton/Carroll County never questioning the vendor.

One of the original responders, officer Krause, now works for GBI in some position where he deals with this kind of stuff. Another officer I work with, SGT Robinson, reached out to Krause to ask what he determined it to be. His answer was "Knowing what I know now, I'd say it was Fentanyl." Doesn't sound 100% sure but, in his new role, he's the expert!
If it was fentanyl, does that mean those drugs were hidden inside those carts within the last couple of years? I assumed those drugs were sitting inside those carts since the 80s, unless fentanyl was popular back then too. Definitely not ‘80s, since Roller Games and Isolated Warrior are ‘90s games.  

More seriously: Yeah. It was almost certainly much more recent. There’s never been any reason to think it’s been in there decades despite reports suggesting that the police confirmed this (they didn’t). It’s very possible that a package containing these had been stolen off someone’s front porch the day before it ended up at the flea market.

I’ve always assumed it was more likely some time in the last 10 years with the rise of international cryptocurrency markets for all kinds of illegal stuff on the dark web (Silk Road, et al). It had only been two weeks since the report of smugglers in The Netherlands using fake 3D printed NES games to smuggle drugs... and about a year after Mexican authorities intercepted those bootleg Famicom games with exotic spiders being smuggled inside. I’d say NES smuggling seems to be a more recent thing and not something from the time when the games were still in stores for $30-$60 a pop. Heck, the Mylar bags they were in had that clear rubbery coating that you just didn’t see often decades ago.

I actually work with several off-duty NPD officers and have more information as of a couple weeks ago. One of the officers I work with tells me that it was sent to GBI (Georgia Bureau of Investigation) since it was a large drug find. One of the original responding officers, officer Krause, now works for GBI. Another officer I work with, SGT Robinson, reached out to Krause to ask what he determined it to be. His answer was "Knowing what I know now, I'd say it was Fentanyl." Doesn't sound 100% tested/proven but, in his new role, he is now an expert in identifying drugs (even though he wasn't at the time).


Well good thing you handled the situation the way you did, a lethal dose of Fentanyl equates to something about the size of 2-3 grains of salt. Here in Vancouver, Fentanyl has been the cause of a public health emergency since 2015, whereby people are dying of overdoses in record numbers, including several people close to me (two of my friends and my former landlord have all been accidentally exposed, and all three of them died). Glad to hear you handled it correctly and didn't get curious, that diligence may have potentially saved your life. https://i.imgur.com/UeEUfnn.jpg


Thanks. I never shared this publicly before, but this was on the porch when they were done. They had joked about it making the neighborhood cats act funny, but this could have killed them. Definitely dropped by them and not us.  

It’s a lot smaller than it looks in this macro shot. Lens makes it look like crystaline chunks of meth or something but it’s more like a grains of sand. ]]> Don't know if I'll be able to "keep http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=10&threadid=181113 2019-04-02T13:21:28 -05.00 CZroe 167 Originally posted by: drewbrim
