But there has been a lot of talk about Meth in New England recently. Finally I heard someone whe seemed informed about what is going on. It seems that the 14 "Meth Labs" raided in New England this year were making for personal use rather than distribution (in fact one of the "labs" was in the truck of a car...WTF). I think were are seeing some major scare tactics similar to the Crack craze 10 years ago as politicians and law enforcement look for bigger budgets. I would guess that most meth is made in large labs, using smuggled chemicals and distributed around the country rather than some dude distilling nyquil in the truck of his car. But I guess we have to protect the children.... Again, this is just all pulled out of my ass.... Neither do I (the economics thing).

I can't imagine people are wasting their time making a $20 hit of meth with $300 worth of nyquil. They just lost my business.
