DEA to Launch Operation "X-Out"

We've been so busy reporting on civil liberties and politics this week, we missed this press release, on the DEA's website:

"DEA To Launch "Operation X-Out" New Club And Predatory Drug Initiative Enforcement Effort and Public Education Keys to Success"

"On Thursday, November 21st, DEA Administrator Asa Hutchinson will announce "Operation X-Out," a national club and predatory drug initiative at a news conference followed by a town-hall meeting in San Diego, CA. The initiative is designed to engage the public on the dangers of these drugs, as well as increase enforcement operations on what has become a critical national and international drug problem."

"The explosive use of Ecstasy and predatory drugs among our youth is fast reaching epidemic levels. Unscrupulous dealers and promoters are marketing Ecstasy, Rohypnol, GHB, Ketamine and other lesser known drugs to individuals who, all too often, do not truly understand their potentially devastating effects," Hutchinson said. "Not only is the DEA targeting these traffickers, we're also reaching out to communities in an unprecedented way to get them involved."
