POLICE WARN OF CRYSTAL METH-LACED MARIJUANA

Police have issued a warning about crystal meth-laced marijuana. 
While police here have not actually seized any tainted marijuana, it 
is something officers are hearing on the street and wanted to warn 
the public about.

"The police have received information that this is occurring in order 
to facilitate a new addiction to methamphetamines in those that are 
using marijuana recreationally or in a social capacity," said media 
liaison officer Const. Kim Sheridan.

Methamphetamines can be consumed in a variety of ways, including, but 
not limited to, snorting, injecting and smoking. "Incorporating meth 
into a marijuana joint would be a simple matter and could easily be 
undetected by the unsuspecting user of the altered marijuana," Sheridan said.

If anyone wants more information about methamphetamines, visit the 
Delta police website at www.deltapolice.ca.
