Would you swallow a spoonful of drain cleaner? Does the thought of
injecting brake fluid into your arm appeal to you? Care to top off your
dessert with a bit of rat poison?
These are just a few of the common ingredients in Meth. One reason
behind the explosive growth in Meth labs is the availability of the
components. When users smoke, inject or drink Meth, this is what
they are sending to their brain, cardiovascular system and throughout
their bodies:
◙Alcohol - Gasoline additives or Rubbing
Alcohol
◙Ether (starting fluid)
◙Benzene
◙Paint thinner
◙Freon
◙Acetone
◙Chloroform
◙Camp stove fuel
◙Anhydrous ammonia
◙White gasoline
◙Pheynl-2-Propane
◙Phenylacetone
◙Phenylpropanolamine
◙Rock, table or Epsom salt
◙Iodine crystals
◙Red Phosphorous
◙Toluene (found in
brake cleaner)
◙Red Devil Lye
◙Drain cleaner
◙Muraitic acid
◙Battery acid
◙Lithium from batteries
◙Sodium metal
◙Ephedrine
◙Cold tablets
◙Diet aids
◙Iodine
◙Bronchodialators
◙Energy boosters
Lab equipment including tubing, unmarked Mason
jars with tubes attached, stained coffee filters, 2-liter pop bottles, blenders,
camera batteries, wooden matches, propane cylinders and hot plates are tip offs
to the production of Meth.
Individually, each product is legal and useful.
But when mixed together and processed, the results are deadly - to the producer,
user and innocent bystanders.
