Although Methamphetamine was not listed as one of the top drug choices in Leduc during the Leduc Community Drug Action Committee ( LCDAC ) Cristal Bole took some time to talk about the drug. She reminded the audience that although there are several recipes online to make the drug many times people who are high at the time are the ones who wrote it. She also said that often those recipes have spelling mistakes or incorrect math that could make cooking the drug even more risky. Meth is a popular drug because a meth lab can be created almost anywhere including a car trunk, residence, backyard or garage.
A handout that is commonly posted in stores and pharmacies states that in order to make meth a person needs Ephedrine, which is found in cold medication.
The equipment needed to make meth are everyday house hold items, aluminum foil, basters, coffee filters, coolers, Funnels, lithium batteries, jars, propane tanks and rubber tubing.
The chemicals and solvents used as ingredients are also very concerning, they are easy to access but also nothing a person should even consider putting in their body. Some of the chemicals and solvents include acetone, brake cleaner, drain opener, gasoline additives, paint thinner, rock salt, rubbing alcohol sulfuric or muriatic acid. These chemicals in solvents can be very harmful alone, and together could create masses of trouble.
