Most meth is now made down in Mexico in superlabs and smuggled in over the border.

This has got to go in the stupid criminals book. They have $50 million of meth in the house and they plant pot outside? Boneheads.

Actually, it is a surprise that it involves illegal aliens. Meth manufacturing has swept southern Oklahoma. Almost everyone there does it, makes it, or lives with someone who does.

Two arrested, two sought in meth bust








ATLANTA Federal authorities announced today that two men have been arrested and two more are being sought following the seizure of more than 300 pounds of methamphetamine in northeast Georgia.

U-S Attorney David Nahmias' (NAH'-mee-as) office said in a statement that authorities seized 341 pounds of meth in Gainesville on August 21st and 22nd.

The investigation began when U-S Forest Service officials spotted four people cultivating a marijuana field inside Chattahoochee National Forest in Union County.

Authorities searched a house connected to the suspects where they found the meth. The investigation turned up 300 marijuana plants.

Two people were arrested and two others are considered fugitives.

Well if there weren't that many Americans hooked on drugs, there would be no need to bring in the cheap drugs from Mexico.

By: Associated Press

ATLANTA -- Federal officials have made a "record-breaking seizure" of crystal methamphetamine buried in the back yard of a rural home that they say was used by a Mexican-based drug ring.

Drug Enforcement Administration agents found 187.5 pounds of suspected meth and about 90 pounds of suspected cocaine during a search last week, said DEA special agent Sherri Strange said Monday.

She called it the third largest meth seizure in the U.S. this year, with an estimated street value of $25 million to $50 million.


Agents charged four men -- two of them residents of Mexico -- with possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine and cocaine. All four were captured during the raid at the home in Buford, 33 miles northeast of Atlanta.

Officials said the operation was part of a Mexican drug ring that distributes large quantities of meth and cocaine from Mexico by moving it through California and Texas to points throughout the U.S.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Thomas said the seizure "underscores the increasing significance that Atlanta plays in the world of drug trafficking."

This is why the laws restricting sale of over-the-counter pseudoephedrine-containing products won't do any good at all. I'd happily comply if it would help, but it doesn't, so I am unhappily being forced to comply. Most pseudoephedrine used in meth production was already being purchased in bulk outside the US, not obtained by buying little blister packs of Sudafed at drugstores.
