La Guardia Civil, en cooperación con las policías de Reino Unido, Holanda, Bélgica y Alemania, ha desarticulado dos organizaciones dedicadas al tráfico de nuevas sustancias psicoactivas que, sin estar fiscalizadas internacionalmente como drogas, se venden como sustitutos de la marihuana, de las anfetaminas, el éxtasis (MDMA) o la cocaína porque producen efectos similares en el consumidor.
The Guardia Civil (ES National federal Police), in co-operation with the Police Services of UK, NL, BE and DE has disrupted 3 organisations dedicated to the traffic of NPS that are not internationally controlled drugs but can be sold as substitutes for marijuana, amfetamine, XTC (MDMA) or cocaine becase they produce similar effects to the consumer
the rest is here [in Spanish] – unfortunately my Spanish is not the best but from what I can make out of the article this appears to be similar to operations carried out in various other EU nations (it is not just the UK which is getting harsher). 52 people have been arrested and 100 000 + doses of various substances mostly synthetic cannibanoids(sp) seized.
Can’t help but wonder “why bother with selling this nasty crap in Spain of all places, especially knowing what is happening elsewhere in Europe?”
This is a large continental European country with a coastal border; good weather and lots of room to grow plants right next door to the more chilled out Middle Eastern countries and bordering others where feds (both European and Middle Eastern) are far surely more concerned about the impact of the refugee crisis and global conflict to care as much about the “real stuff”…..
