Preventing Crystal Meth production in Manitoba - Safeguard your supply of anhydrous ammonia

Crystal meth is a highly addictive drug. We are far better off without it. One way to decrease the chance of people being exposed to crystal meth in Manitoba is to decrease the likelihood of it being made in Manitoba.

Farmers and fertilizer dealers need to be aware of the potential safety and environmental dangers of the theft of anyhdrous ammonia to be used for crystal meth production. For more information, contact the Canadian Association of Agri-Retailers. They have produced a pamphlet with more information. To reach them go to http://www.caar.org/

From time to time, I will put public service information on this blog. This information I learned this morning at a meeting of our Legislature's Security Task Force - so I am passing it on to the farmers who read this blog.
