BANGKOK, 2 August 2013 (NNT) – Officials from the Office of the Narcotics Control Board on Thursday seized 12 tons of precursor material for Ecstasy pills meant for exportation to the Netherlands.
671 barrels of safrole were confiscated by narcotics suppression police, who discovered that a smuggling ring was readying the phenylpropene for shipping to Rotterdam in the Netherlands. The 12 tons of oil, which can be processed into about 86 million Ecstasy pills worth 80 billion baht, was contained in vegetable oil containers for disguise.
Narcotics suppression police made another arrest on Thursday, seizing 154 sticks of heroin weighing about 54 kilograms. The drugs were found in 4 cars in Chiang Mai. The drivers of the vehicles were hill tribe men who were preparing to transport the drugs to customers in Greater Bangkok.

Damn. A seizure like that might put a dent in the production of one or more of the Dutch Superlabs. Sucks to think all the endangered trees that were killed for that many barrels and now it's just going to waste.

Shortage of safrole is the reason that people are making PMA and everyone is dying.

Woah, expect your prices of MDMA to go up. To be honest, after a year of using it. I feel its a drug to try a few times but nothing thats good for you. Anything you can feel on E, you can get out of LSD plus more.
Without risk of your brain boiling cause your friend forgot to buy a bottle of water for the concert.
Besides doing it doesnt just contribute to killing trees, but whole ecosystems and rainforest. Most E is not quality worth even putting in your body. Ive only had a few rolls, and one batch of shards that was so euphoric I was making snow angels in concrete or geeking out in the seats of a bassnectar show. The other times it was clean or leveled out some bad trips, but just not quite worth it.
I think its best reserved as a therapy drug, as thats the only way it ever benefited me.
But recreation, just stick to some L if you can. Better for you and the environment.
