(Newswire.net — August 24, 2017) —Police in Osnabrück,  a city in the northwest German state of Lower Saxony, Europe, report that the drugs were found on Saturday, at 21:00, when officers stopped a Peugeot 307 hatchback with suspect license plates.

They searched the car on the A30 motorway, from Austria to Hanover, a city in Germany, and came across 5.000 of orange tablets shaped like the head of the US President Donald Trump. 

The front side of each orange pill has Trump’s face and on the back the word ”Trump” and five stars in a line. 

The purchase value of the tablets is about 11,000 euros, and the sale value is around 39,000 euros.

In the same car, police also found a large sum of money.

The driver of the car was a 51-year-old man, who told the German police officers that he and his 17-year-old son were returning home from Netherlands, where they wanted to buy a car, but didn’t.

Both of them were arrested, and the car was confiscated.

Ecstasy tablets, often called the party pill or the love drug, contain a chemical MDMA (methylenedioxymethamphetamine), which can cause dangerous psychoactive effects on the central nervous system. Ecstasy causes anxiety, high blood pressure, an elevated heart rate, feelings of euphoria, and sometimes consumers can hallucinate.

MDMA can be mixed with other dangerous substances: amphetamine, methamphetamine, ephedrine… 

Ecstasy comes in tablets ranging from 12 mg to 131 mg, in various shapes and colors, and the price is about $ 10 per tablet.

Reportedly. this is not the first time that someone made a drug designed to resemble a current politician.

According to CBS News, in 2009 police in Texas found pills shaped to look like ex-US President Barack Obama.

Also, since the 1960s images of Che Guevara (Argentine revolutionary), or Uncle Sam (a personification of the American government or the United States in general) have appeared on paper used for LSD doses, a psychedelic drug known for its potent psychological effects.
