'SMURFING' - do you know what it is?


The new terminology you may want to keep your ears open for if you have teenagers or young adults in your care.


According to Urban Dictionary (3rd entry for the meaning of the term Smurfing) it is:

Purchasing small amounts of pseudo ephedrine in several stores or by groups of people, with the purpose of using it to make methamphetamine


This is the new way to produce meth and stay under the radar. Because these pills are OTC (over the counter) meds, there is no restriction on the amount purchased at any given time.


Several arrests have been made in recent weeks, as police departments all over the country are becoming aware of this new form of illegal drug distribution.
