Poisonous Ecstasy to hit UK Dutch police have informed UK Customs & Excise of the possibility of ecstasy laced with poison arriving in the UK. Some tablets recently seized in Holland have been found to contain around 8 milligrams of Strychnine, a potentially fatal dose of the highly poisonous substance. Currently, nearly all of the ecstasy consumed in the UK comes directly from Holland, hugely increasing the chances of the lethal pills arriving in the UK.
In a statement just released, UK drugs tsar Keith Halliwell said: "This
illustrates the dangers of buying and using illegal drugs - the criminals
supplying them are only interested in their profits. "I have been warning
about the dangers of adulterants within drugs. If young people saw the
conditions under which many of these concoctions are prepared and the
ingredients that they put into them, they would never touch the stuff again.
"Some of these substances are inherently dangerous to anyone who takes
them." The tablets in question are apparently yellow with brown flecks, but
no print. The diameter was 9mm and 4.4mm thick.
If you are planning on taking ecstasy, do be careful what you buy.
just wanted to let everyone to know bout these pills showing up and to be careful what you buy.. last thing we need is more deaths for the media to feed off of.
