Oh that's right, the UAE if I remember correctly. It seems the popular hobby there is take expensive SUVs to the dunes and drive them insanely fast. The safrole oil that used to be used to make ecstasy is a carcinogen I think, so even though it's natural it's already a bit dangerous. I'm sure whatever process was used to make this drug back in that time uses many dangerous chemicals along with this oil.
Luckily or unluckily the Chinese Communist Party seems to now supply the world with all the synthetic chemicals used to make illegal drugs. At least the Cambodian forests are now safe from Dutch party-goers.
