bodi Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 Article in the Daily News pointing out how Ecstasy which is gaining in popularity amongst all walks of life is now being associated with the same violence usually seen with cocaine and heroin trafficking.Drug dealers see the X-market as being so lucrative that they've abandoned dealing the aforementioned drugs.

resident Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 I was actually beginning to think that the media has gotten over e. Still, I think that it's is on minute 14 of it's 15 minutes of fame. Last summer and fall was definitely the heyday, when things would go off vibrating in the asses of journalists at any word beginning with letter "e". Now... maybe their batteries ran out.

SOLE1 Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 And if you read between the lines, it also states the the supply is so immense nowadays, that prices are dropping! The supply has exceeded the demand...2 for 1 sales coming soon! (I wish) ------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sin-sational Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 Back in the day the pills were huge it was like ahorse pill, but the high was much better, they made you feel really tingley and a geat sense of euphoria. Today's pills don't even compare, half the time they make me feel too dopey ------------------"I walk through the valley of fear, I fear nothing cause I'm the baddest mother fucker in the valley!"

sarahb Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 There was an article in the New York Times a few weeks ago regarding e, and the main thesis of the article was that they are finding ecstacy to be an amazing anti-depressent for people who are taking other prescribed anti-depressents that don't have effect for anywhere from 2 weeks to 6 months. Because depressed people have very low levels of seratonin, ecstacy is a (fairly) immediate response to that, increasing the seratonin levels to a point of happiness not normally felt, in a matter of an hour. It was a really interesting article...I wish I had the link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ichi_gami Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 The article says, not that people are abandoning other drugs to deal E, but that E is now being carried and dealt along the same routes as heroin. The combining of products by sources is bringing E to the lowest common denominator (i.e. the biggest dirtbags are taking over the supply chain) and wholesale price is coming down, not street price. The article specifically says that a formerly $30-35 pill will cost the dealer $12-18. You think the dealer is about to pass the savings on to a random cash-laden user?In any event, y'all can read the po-po propaganda here... http://www.nydailynews.com/today/News_and_Views/Crime_File/a-98960.asp ------------------Administrative Signature: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ichi_gami Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 BTW: why is it the PD can publish their self-worship in our free press, but notes like the one below never see the light of day?

SPHERIC Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 You know a drug is making it big time when sitcom's on T.V. are talking about it, infomercials on the radio against it. E has finally arrived as a public epidemic! Congratulations E ------------------"Play every record like it's your last" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprise surprise! There was a really good article on Salon.com about it a while ago, but I don't have the link right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bodi Posted February 7 Author Report Share Posted February 7 Personally I really don't care what they choose to write about E. I know what its done for me. I know that here on clubplanet.com the majority of the people look out for each other not b/c we have this one thing in common but b/c we have the ability not to pre-judge anybody regardless of what they do. (Thats the closest I've come to a Utopian society). This excludes any imposters, racists, and genearlly malicious people who sometimes post here. Just b/c you indulge in taken E doesn't make you a "bad" individual. I'm glad E is coming into the mainstream b/c its obviously peaking the interest of the public. As a matter of fact the article that was in the Sunday Times mag was actually hearlding the effects of E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stompy Posted February 8 Report Share Posted February 8 When i first saw the cover i though for some reason that the article would be somewhat interesting. What a waste of 50 cents. What i've learned from the article is that drug dealers carry guns, use violence and sell a lot of e.Now there is a front page story.w Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
