You all know what turbo-e is by now, right? It's MDMA laced with meth, and it's supposedly coming from Canada, and it will KILL YOU! (probably not, but just checking to see if you're paying attention). Well, leave it to Slate to say, "Duh" and file this under "non-news". The article quotes Canada's
National Post rebuttal to the original
NY Times story:
"[Drug Czar Walters] is not wrong. But this is nothing new. We've been telling them this for years," said Superintendent Ron Allen, head of the RCMP's Drug Section for the Greater Toronto Area.
In the summer of 2006, for instance, Canadian police seized 10,000 pills sold as Ecstasy that were destined for New York, and a laboratory test found they contained 80 percent methamphetamine.
What this article points out is what we here at DoseNation know all too well: A vast majority of the "E" being sold on the street in pill form is adulterated with something, but
there are no reliable statistics. For a while it was caffeine, then DXM, then ephedra, then PMA, then K, now meth. Who knows what's in that party pill? Ask Slate.
The article i read said "the combination of meth laced e and alcohol is deadly". I think it's a good combination
.. so they don't want people to try it ;]
In some countries, like the Netherlands, it's better - people can submit pills for testing, so some statistics must be available...
