An Alberta man faces a slew of charges after Manitoba RCMP found drugs, including four kilograms of “shatter,” a highly potent marijuana derivative, during a traffic stop near Wabowden, Man.

Early Tuesday morning, members of the RCMP North District Crime Reduction Enforcement Team and the local RCMP detachment stopped the vehicle.

During the search of the vehicle, officers said they found 103 pounds (roughly 47 kilograms) of marijuana, a large amount of cash and four kilograms (nine pounds) of shatter.

Shatter looks like a sheet of hard toffee or peanut brittle and has a high concentration of THC, the component which gets people high.

“Those who produce and traffic illicit drugs destroy lives, homes and communities,” RCMP said in a news release.

  1. “Those who produce and traffic illicit drugs destroy lives, homes and communities,” lol, no what destroys lives is the police enforcing specific laws by order of the Prime Minister, His father would be disappointed. And lets not forget that this is caucusing a serious drain on our legal system that has caused serious criminal cases being tossed because of time restrains, Old Trudeau ordered police to stop charging Gay’s when it was illegal because he was going to legalize it, Young Trudeau is doing the exact opposite and ordering the police to criminalize all to increase corporate control of a market that the Courts have questioned during the Allard trial.
