Let’s talk drugs, shall we?
A couple of weeks ago, Toronto police made a huge drug bust in the northeast part of the city. According to CityNews, a local media outlet: “at least 140,000 Ecstasy pills and 214 kilograms of MMDA, worth an estimated $21.4 million on the streets,” as well as “a cutting agent, which allows the drug makers to turn out even more pills using a kind of filler. If that had been added, the entire haul could have been worth an unbelievable $40 million.” Deputy Police Chief Tony Warr stated the obvious: “This would be a significant dent in the supply for Toronto.”
Over at The Reaction, in addressing this story and the larger issue of the “war” on drugs, I make a case for the legalization of drugs, including ecstasy. I won’t put it up here (it’s somewhat longish), but you can find my post here.
I’d be interested to know what you all think about this matter.
