Methamphetamine Control Act, tightening controls on precursor chemicals and earmarking money for additional DEA agents. Janet Reno, Clinton’s Attorney General, promised to eradicate domestic meth production, and by that measure the effort was largely a success. Lab seizures plummeted in the US, and the virtual disappearance of P2P forced meth cooks to rely on a limited supply of pseudoephedrine.
But the crackdown—true to long-established patterns of unintended consequences—ultimately pushed manufacturing away from small-to-mid-sized operations in the US to “superlabs” south of the border. These were found largely in the western Mexican state of Jalisco, where cartels consolidated control over the ports and precursor chemicals like pure ephedrine, shipped from China. The labs began pumping out a potent, smokable form of d-methamphetamine, which quickly spread throughout the western US.
According to one federal law enforcement source who spent years busting meth labs, the average purity of meth seized prior to the crackdown on domestic production was 40-50 percent or less. Once Mexican cartels became the dominant suppliers in the early 2000s, purity shot to 80 percent and up.
Dangerous "super meth" hitting San Diego
A new wave of extra strong methamphetamine is hitting San Diego, made in Mexican "super labs."10News rode along with San Diego County’s Methamphetamine Strike Force, San Diego County Sheriff's Department, La Mesa Police Department, San Diego County Probation Department, San Diego County Behavioral Health Services and McAllister Institute during "Operation Tip the Scale."The one-day operation was conducted in the City of Lemon Grove, La Mesa and parts of unincorporated Rancho San Diego.Division Chief Jason Druxman with the County of San Diego Probation Department has done all 20 operations in the last seven years.“It’s about checking up on offenders that have drug related offenses,” Druxman said.El Cajon Mayor Bill Wells says San Diego County needs operations like this more than ever because of the growing grip of meth.“It used to be that crystal meth was made by individuals, a lot of time in trailer parks and out of the way rural places," Wells said. "Drug cartels from Mexico decided that they would get involved in that business. They started building large, manufacturing 'super labs.'"Wells said the cartels are making meth 90% pure, but two-thirds the price; stronger and cheaper.Besides being mayor, Wells also works part-time in the emergency room doing psychiatric evaluations. He says he's seen the effects the new meth has on people who use it."People are dying," Wells said. “With this level of purity, you’re having a significant number of people who become grossly psychotic, just hearing voices, seeing things that aren’t there, very paranoid, delusional.”
With these partners in Mexico, LAUSD has no prayer in hell of educating Hispanic kids. Political correctness has doomed the Hispanic community and they are unaware? No, they are quite aware of who is letting this stuff in, Gavin and the venezuelans of Sacramento.
