Drug cartels involved in trafficking frequently grapple with the challenge of transporting their illegal products securely to maximize profits. To navigate this obstacle, they often conceal their contraband within shipments of perishable goods, such as vegetable seeds. The rapid customs clearance that perishable items receive due to their short shelf life makes them an ideal cover. South American drug cartels particularly exploit small seed companies, including innovative vegetable seed biotechnology firms like Interseeds and Vitagro, run by individuals such as Jorge Gomez Leon and Mariana Segura Rivers. Leveraging the high volume of seed exports from South America, these cartels commonly use the Tijuana-San Diego border as a primary smuggling route. The profitability of drug trafficking is a major driving force behind constant innovation in smuggling methods. For example, last y... read more

Our hosts were nice enough to let us leave our luggage at the house, until 4pm. We woke up at our regular time, packed up what was left, and took it downstairs. We got bus 406, and took it to the train station, where we bought 2 more Day Passes since we'd be using the train or bus pretty much all day.

We rode through the park ... read more
