A Typical Day in the War on Drugs

After reading this article titled Police destroy 39g of narcotics in Haveeru, I thought to myself, what the fudge?

I mean wow! A whole 39 grams! What is that, like half the mass of Jupiter? Why not just say that the Police had a nice bonfire with a pinch of salt and a pinch of confiscated narcotics instead?

Narcotics weighing at 39g, confiscated from 29 separate cases ...

This would be about an average of 1.345g per case. Good job. What do you do? Scrape off the drugs from under the nails of the drug abusers?


The drugs that were destroyed today were 8.2276g of opiates, 19.0247g of cannabis, a Dunlop adhesive can and 11.4755g of heroin.

Could you repeat that again? A can of Dunlop? Did I read that correctly? Yes, I am aware of the the type of drug abuse called Glue Sniffing. But what's the point in destroying it? Burning of the other drugs I can understand, but is the possession of Dunlop illegal now?

I think this is yet another case of system skewing up in Maldives. Or maybe the Committee on Destruction of Narcotics have inhaled too much fumes from their occasional bonfires.

Hehe.

You got it wrong mate. The police said the drugs they destroyed usually gave them an increase in high that felt like 39g's. Several times higher than those felt by fighter pilots doing tight corners.
