Largest drug bust in Dutch history

23 May 2007

AMSTERDAM (AP) - Dutch authorities said Wednesday they had carried out the largest drugs bust in the Netherlands' history, seizing 2.5 million Ecstasy tablets and enough raw materials to make 8 million more.

In addition to the 210 kilograms (463 pounds) of materials for making Ecstasy, authorities also found 270 kilograms (595 pounds) of speed and 210 kilograms (463 pounds) of hashish in a warehouse in an industrial park in the southern city of Veldhoven.

''The drugs were packed in buckets and wooden crates,'' the national prosecutor's office said in a statement, estimating the total value of the haul at ''several tens of millions of euros.''

No suspects have been arrested yet, the statement said. The drugs were destroyed after several samples were taken as evidence.

What would that be then? 9.5kg of crushed paracetamol and 0.5kg of mdma?

Probably sassafras oil or the extract Safrole used to make MDA, MDMA, and MDEA or any number of intermediary chemicals.

My point was more that pills used to cost approx 10 quid a head and blew your head clean off for 6-8 hours (ahh those were the days). Now, at anywhere between 40p if you buy 100 to about 2 quid if you're buying singles .... aaaaand, suprisingly enough they're now 99% bollocks

Ahhhh, you young uns..... a 20 quid dove got it's name for a reason!

First the acid like buzz... then the euphoria, then the sale of your soul to the DJ...... you didn't hear music, you felt it inside of you.

A knowing nod and a huge grin to all the gorgeous people around you..... I'd give you £100 now to get that feeling back.

I noticed a distinct drop in quality when they hit the £15 mark...... The arrival of the mitsubishi was the final nail.

Saying that MDMA Crystals are freely available now..... very potent at around £35 per gram.

I caught the tail end of doves, only ever had a few before the ditch in anything resembling an E was available ... waaaay back when I first start taking them, back then though one or two was alot more than plenty *strokes chin* ahhh yes... those were the days

Mitsu's were still more than decent, the ones we used to get were fucking blinding... you're right though, not quite like doves.

As for the crystals, they're becoming more and more diluted by the month man ... at first, 50 quid got you a gram of proper best friend, jaw flapping, emotive chemistry. Now... not a patch on it and I'm not as heavy a consumer on MDMA related drugs these days so if anything I should be less tolerant to it. It's always the same, as soon as something becomes popular it gets diluted to make more money. Look at coke. I've got a good guy for that though thankfully. Same with LSD. I have to buy it wholesale but it's of the highest quality!

Keep an eye out for CB's.

At £5 a pill they contain LSD and MDMA. Much fun to be had.... much fun.

Tried those a while back... they're ok, but not a dot on the proper liquid acid we get... I've been spoiled with that stuff quite frankly

Afterthought, these things are known as CB2 aye?

If not then I'm thinking of something else, very similar effects though... trippy with a wobbly friendly vibe... the liquid blows it out the water though, the sheer clarity and measure of the trip from it is unrivaled... proper weapons grade stuff

Unavailable to me I'm afraid......

It's available everywhere, you just need to find someone who enjoys tripping as much as you do

I can honestly say there's been more acid in this country in the last 4 years than there's ever been

Used to be prevelant in Leeds' gay community but it just doesn;t seem popular here.
