Gardaí confirm 6kg drug haul of powder meth

GARDA sources yesterday confirmed that the huge haul of methamphetamine seized this week was in powder form and not the highly addictive crystal methamphetamine.

Contrary to some media reports that 6kg of crystal meth was seized, informed sources yesterday said that the haul was powder methamphetamine.

The crystal form of the drug is highly addictive and is smoked, whereas power methampethamine is either swallowed or injected, depending on the user.
