White House picks up on debunked Vancouver Police claim of fentanyl-laced pot

You really should stop listening to Government Propaganda and the Corporate Lies for profit.

Contacted last week, VPD Sergeant Jason Robillard said in an e-mailed statement that the department’s original claim was “an inaccuracy.” “The VPD has not come across marijuana laced with fentanyl,” he said.

After The Globe contacted the department, a correction was added to the middle of the online release that stated: “EDIT: The VPD has not come across marijuana laced with fentanyl – there was an inaccuracy in this news release, which we later corrected.”

Several months after the VPD made its inaccurate fentanyl claim, its gang squad walked back a warning to parents over Twitter to stop their children from consuming a concentrated form of cannabis known as shatter that it said was leading to young people fatally overdosing. The unit’s assertion was never proved and experts agreed it is extremely unlikely that anyone could die from consuming cannabis, however potent the product.

A week later, the department issued a correction saying: “While well-intentioned, our tweets about Shatter weren’t accurate & have been deleted. Our apologies. We will do better in future."
