the consell insular wants to eradicate drugs

[stu23]

These idiots who have been described and shown flashing their drugs around and playing it up are the main reason why the authorities think they need to take action against it.

For the vast majority of people who take a few pills on the island and embrace it properly there's no problems at all really. Do the authorities know anything about the effects of drugs? Or more specifically ecstasy? Because if they did, then surely they would be focusing on where nearly all of the trouble comes from - excessive alcohol. It's pretty clear that most of the violence, sex, etc. stems from people getting p*ssed up in the bars that throw drinks at them for practically nothing. Or those who mix alot of alcohol with drugs.

People will always take drugs in Ibiza.. instead of trying to banish them the authorities could try and raise awareness of the use and effects of the drugs and give advice such as.. 'If you do take ecstacy, it is strongly advised to not drink any alcohol'.

Those are my thoughts on it anyway

My I suggest the authorities deal with the drunken Brits
marauding around the streets San Antonio,
a much bigger social problem
than any alleged ecstasy taking in Amnesia.

Drug Advice
The Island Council has revealed plans to create a trademark, "Locales Saludables", which will be given to those clubs and bars co-operating in the fight against drugs. The Island Councillor, Patricia Abascal, announced the moves in the company of Alberto Villar, the person in charge of Cepca, the centre for the study and prevention of addictive substances.
Those businesses making a concerted effort in the fight against drugs will be awarded the certification. However, those ensuring the safe use of drugs will also receive recognition. In recent years programmes such as Energy Control, which carries out free pill testing at clubs and parties across the country, have proved popular at many establishments across the country resigned to the fact drugs will be taken, and this proves the best way of controlling their safe consumption.
Abascal is looking to go down a similar route and announced the Consell would be producing a leaflet during the summer giving information about the consequences of taking drugs, and the combinations which needed to be avoided.
The news came as Abascal revealed the number of people looking to kick their drug habit had increased by 12.5 per cent from the previous year. She continued that a total of 835 people addicted to a variety of drugs, including heroin and cocaine, had asked for help from the drug dependency centre run by the Consell. She continued that subsidies to help in this particular fight had just been doubled by the Balearic Government, and the Consell would now have €135,694 at its disposal.
She went on to explain that her department would continue in their fight against all types of drugs, and that establishments banning the consumption of tobacco would also be rewarded, although this was very much an afterthought. Her announcement came as the National Committee for the Prevention of Tobacco Consumption revealed smokers cost the Spanish taxpayer a total of €450 each in sanitary care during 2008, costs which were being paid by non-smokers as well.

Believing that the doorman was being nice
or offering to sell them drugs
or simply being idiots,
the woman proceeded to take out a bag of a 100 pills from her bra
and show him that they did have drugs -

“no its ok, we’ve got our own”

Saturday August 09 2008

AN IRISH woman was caught trying to sneak 100 ecstasy tablets into an Ibiza nightclub
in her bra and has now ended up behind bars.

The 23-year-old tourist was on her way into the Space nightclub
with seven of her friends when the drugs were discovered.

The doorman asked the woman if she was carrying any drugs and to his surprise
she pulled a bag of pills out of her bra.
The bouncer then confiscated the tablets and called the Civil Guard.

It is understood that the woman was stunned by this because she claimed that
she didn't know it was a serious crime to carry drugs on the party island.

"She's obviously not the sharpest tool in the box,"

a police source said.

"The doorman asked her if she was carrying any drugs
and she simply put her hand inside her bra and pulled out a big bag of pills."
"The bouncer couldn't quite believe it."
"The girl claimed she did not know it was a serious crime to carry drugs in Ibiza."

The woman is now facing a possible penalty of up to nine years in prison
if found guilty of dealing drugs.

Lost Passport

A Bulgarian man reported the loss of his passport
to the local police in Ibiza Town last week,
and was promptly arrested.

When the officer in charge checked his database,
he noticed an order for his detention for a traffic offence,
and advised the appropriate authority.
