Police burn $7.6b worth of 'ecstasy oil'

Police burn $7.6b worth of 'ecstasy oil'
June 19, 2008 - ABC News

A joint operation between Australian Federal Police (AFP) and Cambodian authorities has destroyed one of the world's largest illegal stockpiles of the oil used as a precursor to manufacture ecstasy.

AFP members travelled to Pursat in western Cambodia to help destroy a stockpile of safrole-rich oil which could have been used to produce 245 million MDMA (ecstasy) tablets with an estimated street value in Australia of $7.6 billion.

The team of four technicians and two forensic chemists from the AFP's Specialist Response Amphetamine Type Stimulants (SRATS) team began burning the 33-tonne stockpile of oil this week.

The burns of the 1,278 oil barrels took several days and were conducted in the early morning and evening because of the sweltering conditions in Cambodia at this time of year.

Cambodian authorities have been working since 2002 to stem the distillation of safrole-rich oil and since that time have succeeded in detecting and dismantling more than 50 clandestine laboratories capable of producing up to 60 litres a day.

The AFP's Tim Morris congratulated says the destruction of the oil was a significant blow to the trade of illicit drugs in the region.

"I commend the coordinated effort by Cambodian authorities to seize the oil, break the production chain and reduce the dependency on income from illegal drug manufacture," he said.

"This oil is not only a precursor in ecstasy production, it also has considerable social and ecological ramifications for Cambodia's people and environment.

"This oil is known to be carcinogenic and mutagenic and the people working in these clan labs are often Cambodia's poorest farmers."

Well they could have started to make MDMA and sold it in ABC stores, but I guess that would take too much work. :frown:

I was fucking just thinking the same thing. Do they not know the atmosphere is like a glass bubble around the earth? Do they think it's magically going to a better place?


EDIT: To add to this, the way I see it, since they are burning it into our atmosphere we are all breathing it in. Even the people who dont want anything to do with this drug.

You are probably doing more harm than good this way. Why, well in reality if they had been turned into E the only people who would've had the hazardous effects would be of those who wanted to buy it in the first place.

But no, we need to burn it. They obviously just wanna share the fun WITH EVERYONE because thats what they're really doing.

Anyone else see what I mean?

are they seriously combusting a known carcinogen on a mass scale into the environment?


:rolleyes:

all this will do is raise the price of current ecstacy, and cause pill pressers to use more dangerous chemicals like PMA, BZP and methamphetamine.

the government always overestimates the price of dr00gz to make their seizure seem more significant.

"As a man who has devoted his whole life to the most clear headed science, to the study of matter, I can tell you as a result of my research about atoms this much: There is no matter as such. All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particle of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together. We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind. This mind is the matrix of all matter."  --Max Planck
