First DMT seizure by police in Western Australia

First DMT seizure by police in Western Australia
December 4, 2008 - news.com.au

WA POLICE have made what is thought to be WA's first seizure of the hallucinogenic drug DMT, and arrested three men.

Police yesterday seized two grams of the drug, known as dimethyltryptamine, and arrested three men after raiding two properties in Denmark and Walpole, in the South of WA.

Police were called into investigate after a patient was admitted to Denmark Hospital with a suspected drug overdose of the drug.

"We believe this may be the first seizure of DMT by police in WA . . . And we also believe it is the first arrest as a result of this drug," Denmark Sergeant Dave Dench told PerthNow this afternoon.

"This is new (to WA). It's not new to the world. . . it's been used for 300 or 400 years overseas, but it's new to WA. We have never come across this in WA before.

``Even though we've only seized 2 grams, the fact that we've locked up three men, we believe we've put quite a dint in the potential for this drug to hit Denmark in large quantities."

DMT is extracted from the bark of certain trees and is manufactured during a "complex cooking process". Once "cooked", the yellow-coloured drug takes a crystalline or powder form. It is usually smoked, sometimes by lacing cannabis with the drug, police say.

Sgt Dench said intelligence suggested that the drug was being sold in 1 gram packages for $200.

He said chemists believed that each "dose" was 15 to 25 mg.

"Our concern is that if someone who hasn't taken the drug before and doesn't know anything about it and takes 1 gram, which is way over the dosage that chemists recommend is sufficient, then it may potentially have some major health effects for them."

He said police did not have any evidence that the drug, which is believed to have originated in South America, had been manufactured in the South West or from local trees.

"There are about six or seven types of tree that this substance can be extracted from....But we don't have any direct intelligence to suggest it's been cooked locally," he said.

A 25-year-old Walpole man will be charged by summons with supplying a prohibited drug (DMT), possessing a prohibited drug (DMT) and one count of possessing cannabis.

A 22-year-old man from Denmark will be charged by summons with one count of possessing a prohibited drug (DMT) and possessing a smoking implement.

The third man, a 23-year-old from Denmark, will be charged by summons for possessing cannabis and possessing a smoking implement.

The three men will appear in Albany Magistrates Court in January.

Why would you take someone to the emergency room for freaking, the effects couldn't have lasted much longer, they pretty much called the cops and said come search my house.

Don't wanna sound like a dick but they should have known better.

To bad there aren't better laws like in Holland, because as far as I know its fine to call the ambulance for such situations, because generally they don't inform the police.

And what about the names of the stories.

Perth Now says:
Police seize "lethal" new drug DMT in WA

"The Australian" had their headline read:
Police seize "killer" new drug

If they are using the term  "killer" as a slang meaning Woah man thats some killer DMT I don't mind.
But I don't think thats what they had in mind.

Man I hate scare tactic brainwashing.

Be interesting to find out what kind of sentence they get. like equivalent to 2g of meth. Or charged for 10X that. because of the potency / doses in 2g of DMT.

Its sad how misinformed the police are and that article saying its potentially lethal is pathetic yellow journalism propaganda.  A person can eat 2 grams and it would do nothing (assuming they didn't take an maoi with it).

A lot of them are not misinformed they just think exaggerating negatives is an acceptable way of trying to put people off.  Unfortunately for them, this method has the opposite effect on many people.  People see the exaggeration and lies then decide to rebel against it.

Over my years of dealing with the police; I've questioned many of them on their understanding.  Some of them just blindly follow the book with no idea what drugs are about.  Some of them completely agreed with me that drugs should be legalized but said they could not change the law.  The police are people too and their personal opinions are as diverse as the publics.

I think they are trying to describe it like meth in that article. They say you have to "cook" it and it is a "complex" process, neither of which really hold true.

I like how they say it is such a dangerous substance and also that people have been using it for 400 years...

This has got to be one of the most misinformed pieces of journalism I've ever seen...

God I hate the media. Nothing but lies. Lies sell better than the truth.
DMT is lethal, despite being non-toxic, non-addictive and relatively safe? I'm sure 99% of readers will believe this story anyway, and be further brainwashed by the machine.

Hay johnny long time.:hi:
Hmmmmm Yes that is interesting isn't it.:uptosomething:

On the coat of arms, coins and its also used quite prevalently in masonic & regelious symbolism.

A discrete acacia masonic ring


Some badges of some of the "many" acacia lodges.

The Acacia Fraternity


The Franklin Chapter of Acacia Fraternity, (named so for Benjamin Franklin )


ACACIA LODGE.


ACACIA LODGE No. 11


ACACIA LODGE No. 16


ACACIA LODGE No. 561


I could copy and paste masonic acacia references for ever. But you get the point.
They believe it to be a symbol of purity and the endurance of the soul, resurrection and immortality, there is much more about it then that, I better stop there.

And about religion, Acacia was most likely the “burning bush” which Moses saw in the desert.
And, when god gave moses instructions for building the tabernacle, he said to "make an ark of acacia wood" and "make a table of acacia wood,:strokebeard:

well The whole story is just symbolic to, but I better not get started on that ..


I apologise if I derailed this news article:sorry:
