[quote][b]AMSTERDAM - A man who said he spent two decades collecting Ecstasy pills of all colors and shapes as a hobby has turned to police for help after they were stolen — because he said some of them are poisonous.[/b]
Police say the 46-year-old man, who was not identified, decided to report the theft despite the illegal nature of the collection because he was worried about the possible consequences if anybody were to swallow one of the poisoned pills.
It was not immediately clear why about 40 red-and-white pills out of the 2,400-pill-strong collection would be poisoned, but the police said they fear the drugs could be lethal if swallowed.
"That's really the main reason he came to the police," said police spokeswoman Esther Naber, adding the man "knows he's not going to get his collection back."
A report in De Volkskrant daily Thursday said the man claimed he was not a drug dealer or user.
"I've tried it before but didn't like it," the report quoted him saying. "My passion for collecting comes from the varied collection of colors, shapes and logos that are printed on the pills."
According to a police statement, the man gathered the pills over a 20 year period and carefully stored them in coin collecting folders.
The folders were allegedly taken during a break-in Wednesday at the man's home in Eerbeek, 56 miles (90 kilometers) east of Amsterdam.
Police spokesman Naber said investigators tended to believe the man's story.
"Why would you make something like this up?" she said.
Prosecutors and drug enforcement officials are still weighing whether to charge him with a crime.
"Given that the pills have disappeared, for the moment there's no evidence to support a possession charge," Naber said.
The pills' street value is estimated at euro11,000 ($16,200).[/quote]
I wonder what they'll do if they actually find the person who stole it. Ecstasy pill collecting sounds interesting, at any rate.
I bet you the guy that stole them will wind up dead within a week.

Unless he adds them to a "Candy bowl" at a party and then quite a few die.
I collect used syringes i find them so intriguing
I bet when the thief opened the FOLDERS he was ecstatic.

pills here
At first I thought "Wow, what a silly dick." but after I read the article I have to say this man is courageous and reasonable.
He's got a multicolored galaxy of uppers, downers, screamers, and laughers.
And killers, apparently.

Somehow, i imagined a kids birthday party, with a bowl full of colorful ecstasy pills.
Now i'm wondering how that'll end.

also a quart of tequila quart of rum case of beer pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls
(not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get locked into a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can)
Why charge him? If anything he's probably benefited 2400 people by taking those pills off of the streets, plus, he's not doing anything wrong with them.
If a cannabis plant started growing in my garden and I hadn't planted it, should I get in trouble if I'm not doing anything wrong with it? I mean, if hundreds of them grew, then I'd expect to, but if it's only the one...

interkingdom relationships are wrong, man
He sounds like a hoarder.
At least the man had the balls to go and say that his Ecstasy collection was stolen. Even if it meant that he could get is shit for it.
I hope he doesn't get in trouble. :saddowns:

Like eating it?
[QUOTE=ChilColdCoolaid;18852656]Like eating it?[/QUOTE]
No, he'd make a pretty little collage on the wall of the plants.
That's one nice man, I do hope he doesn't get arrested.
If it isn't your business...

The collector deserves to be set free.
If he really only collected them then yes, he should be set free.
