MONTREAL GAZETTE | There's lots of meth in Montreal pee
Drug use is average to below average in Montreal compared to other cities — except when it comes to methamphetamine, a new study measuring the presence of illicit drugs in raw sewage has found. The study, by an international group of scientists that included McGill University chemical engineering professor Viviane Yargeau, found meth use in Montreal as well as Granby was more than three times higher than the average for 120 cities that were sampled during a seven-year period.
The findings were published in the journal Addiction on Wednesday.
