OPP OFFER WARNING ABOUT MARIJUANA RESIN
INGERSOLL - The Ontario Province Police Drug Enforcement Section is
warning the public about the dangers of the production of marijuana
resin following charges laid in connection an explosion at a duplex in
Ingersoll.
The production of marijuana resin is achieved by the soaking marijuana
in an organic solvent.
The solvents tend to be extremely explosive and possess a low flash
point in regard to fires. Fires or explosions can occur during the
final stages of production when heat is applied.

property damage and even death within South-Western Ontario over the
years.
Often the only clue a person may have that this type of "drug lab" is
occurring is from the strong odour of solvents and marihuana.
The Drug Enforcement Section is looking for the public's assistance.
Anyone suspecting such an illegal operation is occurring are asked to
contact their local police service or Crime Stoppers
1-800-222-T.I.P.S.(8477).
