Cops seize drugs in Lachine
SPVM agents seized what they describe as half a million dollars’ worth of illicit drugs this month in Lachine. The list shown seems a little lightweight. Nine grams of hashish and less than a kilo of cannabis, a few grams of this and a few grams of that, and one blotter of acid? Plus, I didn’t think Viagra, Cialis or Xanax were exactly illicit, although I suppose they might count as such if you don’t have a prescription.

Well cop math has always been based on the highest possible estimate, usually something along the lines of calculating the drug seizure at street value assuming all quantities are broken down into the smallest possible unit, so if it’s 20 bucks for a quarter gram of heavily cut bar coke, multiplied across a kilo suddenly you’ve made a pretty impressive bust.
That said JDM has noted drug prices have gone up in the pandemic… https://www.journaldemontreal.com/2020/06/27/la-covid-fait-exploser-le-prix-de-la-coke-a-montreal
