40 Million $ meth lab bust in Ontario

Drugs with a street value of $40 million were seized in what police say is one of largest methamphetamine seizures in Ontario's history
At a news conference Thursday, police said they seized raw methamphetamine and the chemicals used to make the drug in raids of three separate labs in July.
The arrests came in July after a months-long investigation involving multiple police forces, the Canada Border Services Agency and spearheaded by the OPP's Asian Organized Crime Task Force.
One lab, located about 180 kilometres east of Toronto in Campbellford, Ont., was guarded by a bear trap hidden beneath a pile of leaves, according to police. Police say another lab located in nearby Warkworth, Ont., and used to produce raw meth, was one of the largest ever discovered in the province.
Another pill-pressing lab was found north of Toronto in Aurora and chemicals used to make meth were found in a storage locker in Markham, Ont., just north of Toronto.
In total, police seized:
120 kilograms of pure methamphetamine, enough to make four million pills. 110,483 meth pills. 14 kilograms of meth powder, ready to be pressed into pills. Five vehicles. $81,000 in cash.
Five people face multiple charges, including drug trafficking and possession of a controlled substance.
Police said the meth pills were most likely destined for outside the country.
The drug labs were operating inside homes and businesses, unknown to neighbours nearby.
"Clandestine drug labs can be found anywhere, both urban and rural areas are not immune,” said Chief Supt. Mike Armstrong of the OPP’s organized crime enforcement bureau.
Police said the production of one kilogram of methamphetamine can create six kilograms of toxic chemical waste, which police say is often carelessly dumped in wooded areas and waterways.
The five accused are due to appear in court in Oshawa, Ont., on Monday.

I'm very skeptical about the 40million price tag the coppers are putting on that, but either way that's a lot of weight. Crazy

Never buy drugs from a cop or a news reporter. They're shiesty.

Your thinking of this the wrong way. Its a cultural thing like how they smoke tobacco with da green.
Its sold as Meth just in pill form. Usually a press is known amongst users.

This is a VERY common mistake in drug related reporting. They often give overly large estimates of the money value because it makes the DEA seem useful, and makes the bust seem more important.

This bust was in Ontario. Canada does not have a DEA.

Last time I checked, Meth is identical to a giant shard of crystal.
The only people not cutting their coke with powdered meth these days are the suppliers right out of Columbia/Bolivia or whoever it is that is lucky enough to own and operate a plantation. 
120KG
1 pound 2.2
St price here according to my pet chicken is $10 for a .1
and there is 10 . in a gram. $100
So 240+ pounds of meth..... Yea, 40million sounds fair enough.
Greed.....and to much breaking bad probably.....

Then it would be 12million if I calculated correctly. But people always forget that large amounts of drugs always sell a lot cheaper than street prices.

There are alot of fake XTC pills with Meth on pill reports. The market for pressed pills is garbage in North America because these clowns. If they just sold them as speed who cares, awesome, people would buy them too. Dealers need to clue in there is a market. The group making this is known for growing really bad viet-shit weed too. If people buy it they will make it period, fake mdma, fake viagra, crappy weed that barely works. This is what happens when organized crime runs things.

There is almost no meth on ontario streets. Im not surprised that story is brought to us by the OPP's Asian Organized Crime Task Force. In case you didnt know OPP is Ontario Provincial Police. Us canucks dont have a DEA. There is slim to no meth up here. Sure molly goes for $40 a gram here but you wont find meth unless its already pressed into pills.
Also the way that reporters and cops figure out the street value is to take the highest price on the lowest amount and times that by however much they found.
Like said before make sure not to buy drugs from cops or reporters.
