And finally… garden-variety dealer
A two-kilogram garden gnome made entirely out of MDMA has been seized by police in the Netherlands.
The fairy creature, with a suitably mischievous countenance, was discovered in a drugs stash by the Dongemond police force in the south of the country.
“A strange place to keep your garden gnome, which is why we decided to test it for possible narcotics,” the force wrote on Facebook.
“Guess what? This almost two-kilogram garden gnome was made of MDMA!”
An expert report produced for the Dutch government this year said production of MDMA — also known as ecstasy — “has reached an almost industrial scale” in the Netherlands.
