Morocco is not holding back anything in terms of drug enforcement. The North African nation has seen a surge of dance music related events set up shop in their gorgeous country. With the events obviously comes a new surge of psychotropic drugs. Recently though Moroccan authorities set a record with a truly massive bust of almost a quarter million tablets of MDMA.
241,319 Pills
That's right, 241,319 pills of ecstasy were confiscated near the port city of Tangiers on the Straight of Gibralter. The pills came through the port and were manufactured in Europe. The police found the narcotics when they pulled over a car with 2 men. Morocco has warned the public over the last year of increased purity of ecstasy as there has been a spike in hospitalizations due to the drug since 2015.
With this bust, it should put a major dent into the ecstasy market for Morocco.
