Law enforcement authorities make arrests in Internet operations
dealing `date rape' drug

(09-18) 18:13 PDT WASHINGTON (AP) --

In a clamp down on Internet drug dealers, federal, state and local
authorities said Wednesday they have made arrests and conducted
searches in dozens of U.S. cities where traffickers have used
computers to sell the "date rape" drug GHB.

Investigators conducted more than 150 searches and made a number of
arrests in a law enforcement sweep in more than 70 U.S. cities,
marking the first-ever probe of its kind involving the Internet and
GHB, said a federal law enforcement official.

The official said about 25 dealers were considered primary targets in
the investigation, which began two years ago.

The traffickers operated their own Web sites where customers could log
on and put in their orders for GHB and similar drugs, which would then
be delivered via the mail.

Attorney General John Ashcroft and Drug Enforcement Administration
Director Asa Hutchinson planned to detail the operation at a news
conference Thursday.

The U.S. Postal Inspection Service, the Customs Service and the FBI
also participated in the probe.

GHB is a mixture of common industrial chemicals that Congress outlawed
several years ago. The drug and its derivatives, GBL and 1,4 BD, act
as central nervous system depressants and cause drowsiness, dizziness,
nausea and loss of inhibition.

Education efforts by law enforcement agencies and the government have
been aimed at warning women about predators who could spike their
drinks with the drug.

People who use it refer to GHB as "G" and "Liquid X."

The DEA has documented 72 deaths from GHB and its derivatives.

First thing that was my cousin being busted. It was a controlled delivery.

5-6 weeks ago he orders GBL from Solvent Specialist. This is one place owned by Pelchat. This dude has been around for years. Sells GHB to other countries besides US. GBL to US customers. So anyway, 4 weeks go by an no package. My cousin contacts Pelchat. Pelchat offers refund or reship. My cousin chooses reship.

Last night plain clothes mailman knockes on his door. My cousins wife open door and attempts to sign for package. The "Officer" says, "No you can't sign for it. It's in *****'s name, he has to sign for it!" WTF right? So my cousin signs for it. Closes door and goes outside on patio. Opens the package and half of it is gone. My cousin has time to say, "What the Fuck?!" And here comes 17 DEA officers full SWAT outfits. They end up seizing his computer, some pharmies he didn't have a prescription for, weed, K & E. All for fucking 750 ml of GBL.

There's a newsgroup where they openly post sources for GHB, GBL, BDO. People have been having shipping delays from all the above sites. It's been weeks since they ordered and the package USUALLY arrives in less than two weeks. Well I go there and find a post from about Pelchat being busted and all his financial records and mailing lists being seized. And "date-rape drug dealers are being busted". Pelchat is in Canada & he was busted by our DEA! Then the news reports start coming in like the ones here.

thats fucking ridiculous...all that for 750ml's. I can't believe we are paying tax dollars for shit like that. Whole fucking SWAT team - come on. And just around the block a woman is being raped. The law is fuck'd in this country.

This is some scary about the controlled deliveries. So I guess they try to get you to sign for your stuff when it's controlled.
