Perhaps it's time for America to put Canada on its terrorism watch list.

More ecstasy in the market means what, more dead ravers?

There's a downside to this?

If true, that is hilarious and awesome.

However, considering the scarcity of that stuff in the metro Detroit area, I kind of doubt it. My... friends... enjoy rolling once a year, tops, and it's been quite awhile since anything has really come up.

Not searching very hard, mind you, but there haven't even been whispers of it around lately. Ah, well, c'est la vie... one can always wait 'til the next Detroit techno festival.

He said that while the RCMP is concerned about drugs being smuggled into the United States, he disputes information in the release that he says is falsely attributed to the RCMP.

The statement said Canadian drug police estimated the production capacity of Canadian ecstasy laboratories at over two million tablets per week. "We have no idea where they came up with that," Nadeau said.



Ouch. The drug czar is getting paid how much?

Humans are their only predators, clubbing them isn't much sport, but neither is shooting them or pelting them to death with pucks.

If we don't curb their population the only thing that will is starvation. Which means the fish off the Atlantic coast are all gone.

Samus_Araan: Heaven forbid a drug that makes you hug everyone and dance like a woman gets into the wrong hands!

I think of it more as a public health issue where the government is trying to intervene on the behalf of minors and young, stupid, idiots. I doubt anyone is seriously worried about a gang of ravers breaking into their house, beating them with glow sticks, and then raping their daughters.

At least, I would hope not.

Occasionally the government intervenes against drugs not necessarily because of perceived social stigmas (ergo, Pot, Coke, Heroin), but because the drug itself is inherently dangerous. For instance, X, while not generally causing any sort of social problems (other than annoying teenagers running around dressed like retards), is quite a physically dangerous drug - especially the way that most of it's users take it.

Now, if people were using X inside their houses with proper cooling and plenty of water at hand and not engaging in physical activity, I'd say they'd be using the drug pretty responsibly. However, the fact that most kids take it at clubs where the ambient temperature sky-rockets, while they themselves are building up quite a sweat and furthermore are usually dehydrated, or even worse - drinking alcohol or drinks with a diuretic effect, make the drug (at least the way it's used) far more dangerous than it normally would be.

Anyway, I have a few friends that are into the club scene and I've explained to them the risks of having a stroke while taking X and how to minimize that risk. I was rather surprised actually that so few of them knew that there was any danger at all. I think it might actually behoove the feds in this case to start a program of actual scientific education explaining both the risks and ways to minimize them... of course, they'd probably never do the later since it would appear to the hardliners that they were endorsing the drug use, regardless of the fact that education like this would likely save lives...

Oh well, war on drugs ftw.

Keep it coming. Up the weed production, too. You, Mexico, and Columbia are duty-bound to flood our country with cheap drugs until the drug war collapses under its own weight. I want so much stuff on the streets that the moral crusaders and true believers melt down, giving in to despair and hopelessness. I want cops dealing in the open. Pot festivals that get you baked from a quarter-mile away. Make the status quo realize that not only are they pissing on a wildfire, they could be making money instead of spending it. Whatever it takes to finally get some sensible drug policy in this back-asswards nation.

You nailed that one, and the idea of providing actual scientific information about drugs should apply to all forms of recreational substance. A reasonable government concerned for the health and well being of its free citizens would do just that. But just as you said, War on Drugs FTW :(

Maybe PETA should give the seals some karate lessons if they think seals are just big pussies. I dare you to try and pet a seal

That being said, look up the hunt numbers and tell me it is not a sustainable hunt. If it's sustainable, and it occurs in a humane fashion then what grounds do you use for objection?

@the seal guy - clubbing baby seals is canada's duty - somebody has to keep their population under control. have you ever actually been to the ocean and seen the reefs that are literally covered by thousands of seals? they are a menace, no matter how cute they are. it really is a shame they don't taste better.

Could be, but I'm in good company with the Washington Post, Salon and others . If you don't think the Mossad is up to this sort of stuff, you're fooling yourself. They're probably the best in the world.

The "bone crushing depression" comes from lack of seratonin, so get some 5-HTP and put that back in your system. It's available everywhere that sells supplements.
