MONTREAL, Canada — An extremely powerful drug has made its first appearance on Montreal’s black market, and it’s being produced in sordid conditions by amateur chemists.
In late April, Montreal police raided seven locations in Montreal, seizing more than 300,000 tablets of illegally-produced synthetic prescription drugs, including Viagra and Cialis. “The fight against synthetic drugs is a priority for all of the province’s police forces,” said Cmdr. Francois Bleau at a Monday news conference.
The busts also yielded crystal meth, bath salts, methamphetamines, ecstasy, speed, steroids, oxycodone and 1,500 kilograms in untransformed ingredients — enough to produce three million pills. But police consider the presence of bromadol and desmethyl fentanyl to be particularly worrisome.
