Methamphetamine is a synthetic chemical, which mean it is manmade. Cocaine comes from a plant but not Meth.
You will usually find Meth being made in an illegal hidden laboratory. They will mix different kinds of forms of amphetamines which is another stimulant drug. They will also mix derivatives with other chemicals to boost its potency. Common pills for cold remedies are often used as the basis for the production of the drug. What a dangerous mixture. Nothing but poison for your body. The Meth “cook” extracts ingredients from those pills and to increase its strength combines the substance with chemicals such as battery acid, drain cleaner, lantern fuel and antifreeze. Now I don’t know about you but that sounds like a sure way to commit suicide!!
Dealing with these dangerous chemicals you have to understand that they are potentially explosive and because the meth cooks are drug users themselves they are disoriented, they often get severely burned and disfigured or killed when their preparation explodes. Some of these accidents even blow up the next door neighbor homes. Can you imagine putting this drug in your body and while it is being made it can actually cause explosion just think of what it is doing to your body!!
The illegal labs create toxic waste as well. The production of one pound of methamphetamine produces five pounds of waste. People who make it or live next to it get exposed to this material and get sick.
