Meth Is Booming Because It's Easier …
Home-cooked meth is apparently on the rise in American cities, and the ubiquity of a certain AMC drama is not to blame — not nearly.

The Associated Press just released a big investigation that says police meth seizures
in urban areas increased to a disturbing degree this year, with some
cities on track for almost three times as many methamphetamine lab
seizures as in 2009. Gangs are more involved in production
than distribution than ever, and it's not the Walter Whites of the world to blame — it's the Jesse Pinkmans, as it were: cooking methods are way easier now.
Basically, you don't have to be a
former chemistry teacher to make the drug anymore, nor do you have to
haul a camper out to the desert — "you don't have to be in rural
country," a DEA agent tells the AP. There are Mexican drug lords making
loads of meth in big labs and shipping it up here, sure, but so-called
shake-and-bake labs allow amateurs to make meth "in backpacks and gym
bags" now. The home cook bug, it appears, has seriously caught on:
As laws limited the availability of pseudoephedrine, meth-makers adjusted with a faster process that creates smaller batches simply by combining ingredients — mixing cold pills with toxic substances such as battery acid or drain cleaner — in 2-liter soda bottles. Shake-and-bake meth can be made quickly with little odor in a home, apartment, hotel, even a car.
Don't go getting any ideas. Meth is still super flammable and will explode in your bedroom. You can go back to binging on Breaking Bad episodes on Netflix, though.
end quote from:
A friend of mine died younger than he should have (around age 60) because he couldn't save his son from Meth. Finally, at age 26 his son was so mentally incompetent from Meth that his mother had to be given custody of his son for the rest of his life. So often, Meth is the end of a person and eventually because of this the end of their life. Another problem with Meth is just to try it addicts a person to it for life(or death). So, it is one of the worst drugs out there now. It should be called "Death" instead of "Meth".
