UPDATE...
This little video shows the effect of being a "Crack" Spider's B*tch...we'll see if it plays properly.
Big time business in Mexico...the Meth labs we know and love in our redneck neighborhoods are being outstripped by Mexican Meth labs."Mexican drug-trafficking organizations, being the entrepreneurs they are . . . decided they could produce large amounts of meth in Mexico, then smuggle it across the Southwest border..."
Mexican Gangs, in Mexico and in California (which, to many people in Southern California, is just Mexico North) now supply of 80% of the meth in the U.S.
We hear of these 'accidents' all the time; trailers, vehicles or sheds explode, burn victims show up for treatment (or not), and head back out to make more. It's a viscious substance...but it's been around for years; it's the stuff that drove the German war machine on blitzkreigs in WWII, and has been a favored toxin for motorcycle gangsters and truck drivers for decades.Ice, crank, crystal, tweak, chalk, glass or speed: Methamphetamine goes by a lot of names. It's one of the most addictive drugs around and is as dangerous to make as it is to consume. The "cooking" process creates toxic chemicals, and labs often catch fire or explode.
The recent (well, couple decades) burst in popularity is due to the relative 'ease' of manufacture, and until the crackdown on raw materials (ephidrine, pseudoephedrine) it was reletively easy to come by.
But Mexican gangs are getting the stuff:
MEXICO CITY - Four guards lay dead in pools of blood, their hands and feet bound with gray duct tape, as dawn broke over the Medix pharmaceutical plant in Mexico City. The gate was open, the security system dismantled.
It looked as well-planned as a bank heist. Except these robbers made off with a far bigger treasure: more than one ton of the chemical pseudoephedrine, enough to make 4 million hits of crystal methamphetamine...
Does anyone favor strengthening the border with Mexico? How about the border with California!
;D
