Half a million Aussies on ecstasy: study
    #7562929 - 10/26/07 11:50 AM (16 years, 3 months ago)


A Queensland researcher says ecstasy has become the second most popular illicit drug after cannabis over the past decade.

Greg Fowler from the Queensland Alcohol and Drug Research and Education Centre has outlined new research at a national conference on the Gold Coast in south-east Queensland.

Mr Fowler says more than 500,000 Australians use ecstasy each year.

"Ecstasy is popular partly because it can be consumed in a tablet form," he said. "It's perceived by consumers for that reason as perhaps having less risk than injecting drug use.

"The cocaine market in Australia is substantially smaller than the ecstasy market but there is indications that the cocaine market may be growing."

The research is aimed at providing extra intelligence for police to fight the problem, with Mr Fowler saying ecstasy is adding significant profits to the coffers of organised crime.

Mr Fowler says most ecstasy is imported and a tablet which costs around 25 cents to produce, can be sold for between $30 and $35 in Australia.

"Demand in Australia is supporting a price at that level and organised criminal groups are reaping substantial rewards and that creates an ongoing incentive," he said.

"So we need to look at some of the strategies policing can actually use to look at the various choke points on the supply chain."

the thing that bothers me about this article is that
it says the use is rising
but they list nothing negative coming from the rise
like they expect us to be shocked by the rise
yet no1 is adversely affected
fucking Aussies
and their expensive as fuck drugs

Ecstasy is a completely double edged drug. yeah its an amazing feeling, but it does start to ruin your brain, speaking from first hand experience. although it is not physically addictive it is highly psychologically addictive. so yes, it is something to worry about for the government.

QFT. MDMA's neurotoxicty would be extremely limited if the government distributed pure dosage controlled ecstasy. It's pathetic how illegal ecstasy is when things such as alcohol are just as bad if not worse.
