China in drug seizure operation at Guangdong village http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-china-25585275
Quote:
Police in China have confiscated three tonnes of the drug methamphetamine and arrested 182 people during raids at a village, officials say.
The drug, also known as crystal meth or "ice", was seized in Boshe village, Lufeng city, Guangdong province.
Police told state media that more than a third of China's methamphetamine came from Lufeng in the last three years.
The raids involved at least 3,000 police operatives, two helicopters and speedboats, an official statement said.
The operation began on 29 December, with officials making the announcement late on Thursday.
"The village has made a criminal drug production a 'clan-based, industrialised operation with local protection'," the Associated Press news agency quoted a police statement as saying.
The village has an estimated population of about 14,000, state media said. A number of families who live in Boshe have been investigated in connection with drugs, it added.
In addition to the methamphetamine, 260kg (573lbs) of the narcotic ketamine powder and other raw materials used in drug production were also confiscated.
Officials did not disclose the value of the drugs.
Three police officers were injured during the operation, said Guo Shaobo, an official with the Guangdong Department of Public Security.
He added that the three were in "good condition" and were being treated in hospital.

Holy fuck, 3 TONS of meth? That is insane! You know it's big when the 573lbs of ketamine they also found is practically a footnote. That is one professional fucking operation.
Jesus, 3 tons of meth and 500lbs of ketamine... Those guys must have been seriously partying.

sadly ketamine's only pretty until your tolerance gets too high and you can only get off using a needle. Thankfully I refuse to use a needle so my tolerance will stay at the occasional one time use with decent results point. Other than that they were probably methheads and I don't consider that a fucking party. Just wanted to point that out haha

I wonder if most of the village used meth while working there so they can be more productive. Just imagine if they make and sell a couple tons per week or something.

You mean because the people arrested were Chinese and they are probably going to get killed for this or is there some magical weight limit where this kind of stuff is just?

I assumed it was another ludicrous drug purist statement because either:
- A. it's meth they seized and they are above that
- B. the drugs came from a lab and not nature and they are above that (unless it is LSD, then that's alright it comes from a lab because of it's "mind-expansive" and "enlightening" properties)
- C. both of the above (which technically if "B" is the answer then so is "A" and "C" common sense would say), or
- D. they have some sort of prejudice against the Chinese like a lot of people on the Shroomery seem to display
I'm leaning more towards A, but B is a pretty high probability as well, which like I said if that's the case then A B and C are correct.
So which is it iLSD420? We want to know. also I dont think the DEA is relevant to this bust at all.

Some of us hate meth with passion. Including me. I think it should be wiped off the face of the planet. So the less there is the better. That is my logic. Sure they are probably all going to get killed, but they knew that when they decided to make 3 tons of meth in china. them being chinese has nothing to do with it in my book, I just really really hate that horrible chemical cocktail of shit known as " meth"

If you don't like it, don't do it. I personally hate tweekers and what meth does to most who abuse it, but I don't think any drug should for any reason be illegal.

My guess is 99.9% of those who support this bust will fit in one of the categories I mentioned.

There's no debate the meth they were making is higher quality than the shake-and-bake and one-pot meth labs in the midwest USA. doubt these guys were gonna blow it up either. 
sounds to me like something similar to a Mexican superlab which is known to be real high quality meth.
the difference is I'm sure this meth was being pressed into pills afterward (called "Yaba" in the parts of Asia I've frequented.)
No clue why they press it into pills when they're still gonna smoke the shit anyways but that's what those silly little Asians do. . .
