    it’s not cocaine until they have it tested and confirmed as cocaine – until then it’s white powder – and when they say $120,000 street value, that assumes its real cocaine and 70-80% minimum – u just gotta lurve the cops claims – besides $120,000 isn’t exactly a large amount – its approx 1 kilo, just enough for a Pablo Escobar party entree – ahhh, sure they are big coke freaks in Carlow – now if they said it was Kerry, I’d think they were joking for sure – “,)
