Voici quelques indices pouvant vous mettre la puce à l’oreille. #LaMethFaitMal pic.twitter.com/5UYJpSMlTW— Sûreté du Québec (@sureteduquebec) January 25, 2021 The first indicators of a potential drug lab that Quebec police explained include "suspicious behaviour, ghostly neighbour, being present at unusual times, garbage rarely being taken out." Another clue given was the smell of "chemical odours" in the surrounding area. If the home appears to have "obstructed windows," Quebec police claim this could be another indication that a drug laboratory may exist inside. The last hint we're given to spotting potential drug labs around us is if someone has "laboratory equipment and chemicals in [their] garbage." La Surêté du Québec has been showing its concern for the existence of synthetic drug labs in the province by using the hashtag #LaMethFaitMal on Twitter. Saviez-vous que la production d’un kilogramme de méthamphétamine génère environ six kilogrammes de déchets toxiques?
