Popeye could win an Olympic medal in snowboarding after chowing down on
this spinach.
Canada Customs officers in Halifax found nearly 2,000 kilograms of
marijuana packed inside Jamaican spinich cans destined for the Toronto area.
"It's a pretty good method, it's not easy to detect,' said Alonzo MacNeil,
cheif of marine operations for Canada Customs.
The drugs, packed inside 160 cases labelled Calaloo spinich, were
discovered by customs inspectors who target suspect containers coming into
the Port of Halifax.
The cans contained plastic packets stuffed 1,748 kilograms of marijuana and
marijuana oil. They were among 1,275 cases of food and vegetables inside a
marine container from Kingston, Jamaica.
