Ontario cops make record ecstasy bust Thu, December 23, 2004 www.canoe.ca
TORONTO -- Police used some new-fangled gumshoe detective work to make a "shocking" ecstasy bust - the largest in Canadian history - in the Toronto area. By tracing the sale of chemicals commonly used in hot tubs, deodorants and air fresheners - which also happen to be key ingredients for illicit drugs - cops uncovered a complex, organized ecstasy ring and with it 1,000 kilograms of liquid and powder MDMA (ecstasy).
The seized powdered drug was 96% pure and packed in vacuum-sealed bags, likely ready for shipment to the U.S. It's worth $100 million but has a potential street value of half a billion dollars and is more than the total amount seized in all of the U.S. in 2003, police said.
"The quantity is shocking," said Det. Don Cardwell of the vice squad. "I just hope (ecstasy production) isn't about to get out of hand like the marijuana labs."
York police, led by Det.-Const. Doug Tetrault, developed a new policing technique in July and began monitoring the sale of chemicals like safrole and piperonal which are precursors in the production of MDMA.
The method reaped big benefits for police on Dec. 6 as the chemicals were traced to two individuals, which led to two Toronto homes and a house in suburban Markham.
In total, three homes and four storage units in Toronto and Markham were raided over three days last week. Police also found a quantity of hash and some cash.
Seven people, mostly from B.C., have been arrested.

That makes me sad because I haven't tried ecstacy yet simply because I can't find any around here, no wonder why.

Regional distribution of precursors/suppliers is another thing to consider when making aquisition notes.

once you get past a certain point, all you really up is the size of the gaping mouths.

What the hell is a marijuana lab? Is that where they synthesize cannabis?
