Echoing U.S. concern, it noted ecstasy was now being made with larger quantities of the more-addictive methamphetamine, or meth, than was the case in the past, making the drug more dangerous.

I love it when people try to explain things when they have not a clue.

Friday's latest report, compiled with the assistance of law enforcement agencies across the country, also estimated that 22 percent of all cigarettes smoked in Canada are illegal, perhaps smuggled into the country to avoid heavy excise duties.

The annual report said organized crime was involved extensively at all levels of producing, distributing and exporting Canadian marijuana.

More to the point, why are there annual reports about all of our northern neighbors' illegal activities, but less proactive attempts to keep their drugs out of the U.S.?

/ Not griping, just curious for feedback

To probably be way too fair to whatever moron said that in the article, "ecstasy" can be thought of as the finished product, i.e. the tablet or capsule or even powder sold to the customer. What he means is that more tablets are found to contain "methamphetamine" than before, rather than good ol' MDMA.

/waiting for someone to start on how mdma is a form of "methamphetamine"

For the same reason we don't rip apart every car that crosses the border in an attempt to slow the flood of illegal guns that American gangs sell to the Canadians in exchange for drugs.

Besides, attacking the source of drugs only pushes drug users onto different drugs (see: Meth). The only effective way to combat drug use is actually trying to help the junkies.

Canada also gave us Heart, Bruce Cockburn, & Lenny Breau.

So I can forgive them for Celine Dion & Shania Twain.

I know... Bruce cock, what? & Lenny who?

I can't claim credit for the throughts. They're from one of the original heads of the DEA, who did extensive research into how to actually fight the rampant drug abuse in America.

He got fired after he didn't reveal a door-busting swat team plan, instead he promoted things like clean injection sites, massive outreach programs to get junkies off their drugs and employed, and many other help-focused instead of punishment-focused plans.

He even implemented them for a time, and they were working. But he was tainted as being 'soft on crime' and was fired in favour of more fire-breathing paramilitary tactics.


Let's take an example of a drug mule.

Sure, he probably got his car through drug money.

But he could become a courier or a pizza delivery man instead of a drug mule. He probably needs help to get off his drugs, and to find steady employment. With help and time, he could become a normal tax-paying citizen. Instead, we're going to take away his car, lock him in jail for the rest of his life, and bemoan the fact that he isn't a productive member of society.

Yup, 'cause in a world of quality microbrews, the masses will still consume vast quantities of Busch: it's not bad, there's a lot of it, and it's relatively cheap.

Whats the difference between Virginia and West Virginia?

In Virginia, Moosehead is a beer.
In West Virginia, it's a misdemeanor.

To be fair, a large quantity of the Moosehead and Ecstacy came over inside John Candy...

If there are going to call themselves "Canadians", they should change the name of the country to "Canadia".

Or just give up speak French.
