Because they have an endless supply of lost bales of 90% pure blow washing onshore they can sell.

The Santa Rosa County Sheriff's Office is looking for the owner of 80 pounds of cocaine that washed ashore last weekend on Navarre Beach.
It ranks among Santa Rosa County's largest drug hauls in value and quantity.

A bale of 28 bricks wrapped in plastic and burlap was confiscated, similar to hundreds of pounds of cocaine plucked from Gulf of Mexico over the last month off south Louisiana, said Santa Rosa sheriff's spokesman Deputy Jerry Henderson.
The cocaine is 90 percent pure, Henderson said. The estimated total value is $1.5 million. But if the cocaine would be "cut" and resold, its actual street value could be higher, he said.
"We've had some wash up," said Maj. John Marie with the Plaquemines Parish Sheriff'sOffice in Louisiana. "We received 2 kilos (about 4½ pounds)."
A U.S. attorney whom Marie interviewed on a New Orleans radio show said the likely source of the cocaine was a boat federal authorities interdicted that dumped the drugs overboard to avoid being caught with them, Marie said.
"Most of it has been located by fishermen," Marie said.
"I think we've gotten the majority of it that's washed up in this area," said Col. Godfrey Buquet with the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff's Office.
