RCMP in Saskatchewan are issuing a public safety warning in regards to several Ecstacy overdoses that have occurred in British Columbia and Alberta over the last several months. The BC Coroners Service confirms that paramethoxy-metamphetamine (PMMA) has been linked to five ecstasy-related deaths in BC in the past six months. There have also been deaths reported in the province of Alberta in relation to ecstacy.
While no deaths have been reported in Saskatchewan to date, RCMP encourage parents to discuss this issue with their children.
Illegal drugs are conveyed across Provincial and international borders and RCMP say the public needs to be aware of the inherent dangers of all illegal drugs.
