Oh Great! Methheads Have Figured Out a New Simple Recipe!

Say goodbye to meth labs!   A brand new formula to create this stanky ass drug has arrived.  The days of elaborate rural labs requiring massive amounts of chemicals and 1000s of pills have been replaced.  Today, people simply need a 2 liter bottle, a few cough pills and some serious nerve:

This is the new formula for methamphetamine: a two-liter soda bottle, a few handfuls of cold pills and some noxious chemicals. Shake the bottle and the volatile reaction produces one of the world’s most addictive drugs.

Don’t do it!!!

Now drug users are making their own meth in small batches using a faster, cheaper and much simpler method with ingredients that can be carried in a knapsack and mixed on the run. The “shake-and-bake” approach has become popular because it requires a relatively small number of pills of the decongestant pseudoephedrine – an amount easily obtained under even the toughest anti-meth laws that have been adopted across the nation to restrict large purchases of some cold medication.”Somebody somewhere said ‘Wait this requires a lot less pseudoephedrine, and I can fly under the radar,’” said Mark Woodward, spokesman for the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs Control.

Why do meth?  Here in Sydney we have methheads wandering the streets.  Their heads have collapsed sideways, and they look so, so sad.  WHY?   The new method can also blow up in your face, both figuratively and literally!

“If there is any oxygen at all in the bottle, it has a propensity to make a giant fireball,” said Sgt. Jason Clark of the Missouri State Highway Patrol’s Division of Drug and Crime Control. “You’re not dealing with rocket scientists here anyway. If they get unlucky at all, it can have a very devastating reaction.”

One little mistake, such as unscrewing the bottle cap too fast, can result in a huge blast, and police in Alabama, Oklahoma and other states have linked dozens of flash fires this year – some of them fatal – to meth manufacturing.

There is no hope in dope kiddies.
