Anti-Ecstasy
Bill
Filed
in
Senate
6/9/00
A new federal bill would
increase prison terms for ecstasy-related offenses and restrict freedom
of speech in much the same ways as the afore-mentioned methamphetamine
bill.
According to the Center for
Cognitive Liberty and Ethics, S. 2612, the "Ecstasy Anti-Proliferation
Act of 2000," sponsored by Sen. Bill Graham (D-FL), with cosponsors Charles
Grassley (R-IA), Craig Thomas (WY) and Joseph Biden (D-DE), would do the
following:
-
Increase federal sentences for
ecstasy-related offenses to the same level as federal methamphetamine-related
offenses and increase sentences for GHB and GBL-related offenses).
-
Outlaw provision of certain
types of information concerning any controlled substance; and
-
Allocate $5,000,000 to train
police to recognize and combat ecstasy and for conducting school- and community-based
anti-ecstasy classes.
