I know there has been a ton of coverage - of recent - concerning PMMA adulterated ecstasy pills in western Canada, therefore, I apologize for posting yet another article in relation to the situation - however I want to give a heads up notice to fellow bluelighters who regularly (or even on occasion) use ecstasy and are living in and around Winnipeg (who don't know) that PMMA apparently is now in your area - beware.

A highly toxic drug linked to at least 13 deaths in Western Canada has been found in Winnipeg.
Health Canada spokesperson Gary Holub confirmed to Metro testing done in Winnipeg late last year turned up three samples of the drug, called para-methoxyamphetamine (PMMA). One sample was also found in Vancouver.
“For these four exhibits, PMMA was found in combination with other drugs like methamphetamine, MDMA and even cocaine, in one sample,” said Holub.
PMMA is considered five times more toxic than MDMA, which is normally found in ecstasy. PMMA mixed into ecstasy has been confirmed responsible for at least eight deaths in Alberta and five in B.C.
