35,000 Ecstasy tablets seized at Lewiston bridge
Nearly 35,000 tablets of the club drug Ecstasy were seized Saturday by U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents from the vehicle of a Toronto man at the Lewiston-Queenston Bridge, according to Kevin Corsaro, spokesman for the agency.
Rudolph Brown, 59, told officers at the bridge he was headed to visit a friend in Cleveland. Initial questioning aroused suspicion and led to a secondary inspection of his vehicle, where officers found 23 vacuum-sealed bags of tablets.
The street value of the drugs was estimated to be about $700,000. Brown faces federal charges of importation and possession with the intent to distribute a controlled substance.
Corsaro said the total amount of Ecstasy seized by officers this fiscal year, which began in October, in the area is more than 363,000 tablets, with a street value of $7.2 million. That already exceeds the number of tablets seized — 359,000 — for all of the 2006 fiscal year.

i'm not sure why the link didn't work in the original post, here is the web address.
i should note that stories like this one are quite common in the buffalo,ny/st.catherines-niagara,on region. the region is home to the second busiest border crossing between the two nations and the four road bridges and one rail bridge in the region carry more than 20% of the legitimate commerce between the US and Canada.
on an outside(but related) note, i wonder if the recent $21 million dollar ecstasy-lab bust in toronto will affect the volume of pills found in the near future at this crossing.

it sure would have. who knows if the pills were ACTUALLY headed for cleveland, but assuming they were this could temporarily upset the market there.

That's the going rate in a lot of places. That's been the going rate in places I've lived for about the past 7 years or so. It used to be a lot cheaper, but those days are gone.

Used to be cheaper? That seems odd.
I'm sure there are plenty of people getting pills for less than $20 a pill, but that is in fact the going street price most places it seems.

20 bucks a pill is the 'at the club' price around here. generally if you know someone that has them they are 10-15. i don't know i haven't eaten the stuff in a couple of years but thats what i hear.
