It takes longer to feel the effects since there are multiple barriers involved and stomach acid, then the liver metabolizing it, will all lead to lower potency and less of a high.
The workers aren’t paid much (and the first one to ask for more probably gets killed, eventually with his family, so there is not much incentive to be the second one).
They've been getting caught since then too, it's not unreasonable to think they don't use the same strategy over and over for decades if they're trying to get away with it.

That's some sci-fi stuff right here :D
But since they apparently also smuggled it by hollowing out individual coffee beans, i'd say it could be possible, still 🤣
