Delta Police Issue Warning On Meth-Laced Marijuana

Delta 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. Sgt. Harj Sidhu, in charge of the department's drug section, said some dealers will mix drugs in order to spark growth in the market. "It doesn't surprise me. It's been done with other drugs to encourage people to get hooked," he said. The Delta police say they are concerned about this as the use of meth, whether or not it's combined with marijuana, can cause extremely serious addiction problems. Supt. Brad Parker is encouraging members of the public to come forward if they have information on meth traffickers in Delta. "Community members who have concerns about suspicious persons or residences in their area may rest assured that all information received will be immediately reviewed and acted upon appropriately," Parker said. Parker was one of the main organizers of a pair of crystal meth community forums in Tsawwassen and North Delta earlier this month. The sessions were well attended as hundreds of students, residents, business owners and health professionals heard from experts, including the province's chief coroner, an emergency room physician, a retired RCMP toxicologist and a police officer whose own children became addicted to the drug. There has been one methamphetamine lab broken down in Delta. If anyone wants more information about methamphetamines, visit the Delta police web site at http://www.deltapolice.ca/.
