Schuette, Bouchard Take Stand Against Meth Production in Michigan
Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette; Oakland County Sheriff Mike Bouchard; Eric Liu, Director of Professional Affairs of the Michigan Pharmacists Association (MPA); and pharmacy owner Pierre Boutros at Mill’s Pharmacy & Apothecary in Birmingham last week brought further awareness to Michigan’s new Anti-Smurfing Campaign. Part of the fight against meth production is focused on increasing awareness among the public about the criminal enterprise known as “smurfing” – the act of buying cold and allergy medicines containing pseudoephedrine on behalf of criminals who intend to use the products for meth production.
The Anti-Smurfing Campaign is an educational effort that targets purchasers where it will have the most impact – right at the pharmacy counter. The public–private partnership is carried out by retailers, pharmacies and community organizations across the country on a voluntary basis. Those participating in the campaign will post targeted, tested, heavily-researched awareness and educational materials, including warning signs and posters to raise awareness amongst consumers about seriousness of smurfing and the risks associated with the crime.
