Meth is a HUGE problem. You can search the internet and find directions on how to make it. It can be made w/items that are relatively easy to get.

The big tipoff, if you get stopped and have 8 garbage bags full of empty boxes of Sudafed, you are probably making meth, as the cooks need the ephedrine, or psuedoephedrine to make the stuff.

Another problem is a lot of the labs here in the states, at least in the more populated areas are mobile labs. They will fit in to the trunk of a car. Some of the items they carry can be extremely toxic, acid, anhydrous ammonia etc... Think that hotel room you are staying in is safe? A lot of the meth coming in to the country is from Mexico right now. They have "super labs" down there pumping the stuff out like it is going out of style. They smuggle the stuff in vehicles, on people etc...

I know someone mentioned Ecstasy. Methalyndioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) or MDA (switch the meth, w/amphetamine). (pls excuse my spelling) LOTS of that stuff coming in to the country. Last I heard they can produce a dose for 5 bucks. The stuff sells anywhere from 20-40 bucks a pop depending on where you are in the country. Last Feb I stopped a Dodge Durango, they had 30,000 doses in the vehicle. Those guys pled guilty to trafficking in federal court, the DEA said they expected them to get a whopping 12 yrs in the pokey.

Meth has an effect on everyone, whether you like it or not. I can't tell you how many tweakers we find breaking in to houses, running from the cops, commiting robberies, fraud, forgery, assault, murder, rape etc.... to fuel their meth addiction. If it were legal and cheap, would it reduce crime? Maybe for a small period of time. Until they could not even afford the cheap stuff. Not to mention while on the juice, they do weird (by normal people's standards) stuff.

If everyone were responsible we would not need the police or laws. Unfortunately the few screw it up for the many. A majority of the crimes being commited are being commited by a minority of the people.

Bandman, if everyone were as responsible as you are, there would be no problems. Yeah, sometimes it sucks, but we have our fellow man to thank for that.
