Abstract
Most methamphetamine users report having a residence as their main source from whom they obtain the drug. The dire and dangerous consequences of methamphetamine use present challenges for policymakers, educators, law enforcement agents, treatment providers, and families everywhere. Certain aspects of the manufacturing, trafficking, and use of methamphetamine have consequences and ramifications quite different from those of other illegal drugs. Because the chemicals used to make methamphetamine are highly toxic, the presence of clandestine laboratories in a community introduces risks far beyond their prevention. The introduction of those risks start with the availability to obtain the information needed to produce the drug in the first place.
