We were kind of southern-focused, and now we've had to extend that focus to Europe. Ecstacy, unlike cocaine and heroin, doesn't originate in remote jungles or highlands. Its components can't be grown in back yards or easily manufactured in basements. At least 80 percent of all the Ecstasy in the world comes from clandestine urban laboratories in just one country, the Netherlands. Its chieftains are well-traveled, in their twenties, speak multiple languages and carry more than one passport.
Ecstasy is easy to hide and has an astronomical profit margin.
It's concentrated down in the nightclubs, behind closed doors.
