Alberta Bans Pill Presses as a Move to Combat Fentanyl Crisis

Alberta, the Canadian province with the highest rate of fentanyl overdose where close to 300 people died last year due to the synthetic opiate, has officially banned pill presses as a major move in the ongoing battle against its opiate crisis. The new legislation, Bill 205, requires licenses for owning a pill press and sets fines and jail time for those found to be in possession of one without the proper paperwork.
