... of methamphetamine. Чтоб вы не подумали про экспорт чего путевого.

The UN Office on Drugs and Crime has released its 2009 World Drug Report, and among the surprisingly complete picture of the global drugs trade, it appears that in recent years Canada's traffickers have come to play an alarmingly prominent role.

“A lot of this seems to be transnational — international trade being organized by organized crime using mostly the west coast of Canada as a hub,” said Walter Kemp, a spokesman for the UN's Office on Drugs and Crime.
“In 2007, it was estimated that 50 per cent of domestically produced ecstasy was trafficked outside of Canada," the report said. "Most of this was thought to be destined for the U.S, Australia and Japan.”

It also found that "Canada has grown to be the most important producer of MDMA for North America, and since 2006, all ecstasy laboratories reported have been large capacity facilities operated principally by Asian organized crime groups.

"In 2007, it was estimated that 50% of domestically produced ecstasy was trafficked outside of Canada. Most of this was thought to be destined for the USA, Australia and Japan." According to a chart in the report, seizures of the drug in Canada made up 12% of the global total of interdicted ecstasy.
