Meth has been declared a weapon of mass destruction in North Carolina:

[Miller]’s the first meth producer in North Carolina to be charged under the state law prohibiting the manufacture of nuclear, biological or chemical weapons of mass destruction (WMD).
Miller obviously wasn’t making nukes in his kitchen, but he was allegedly mixing chemicals that pose a significant danger to public health, and the state attorney general agreed with District Attorney Jerry Wilson that the danger meets the criteria of the statute.
The statute defines a chemical weapon as any weapon, device, method or substance that is designed or has the capability to cause death or serious injury through the release, dissemination or impact of toxic or poisonous chemicals or their immediate precursors.
With Miller’s arrest, Wilson and Sheriff Mark Shook have unveiled what Shook has called “a big surprise for meth producers,” the new charge that is much stiffer than those leveled in the past.
From now on, meth producers in Watauga County can expect to be charged not only for possession of the drug and the precursor chemicals, but also for WMD manufacturing, a class B1 felony that will involve “significantly more jail time,” according to Shook, if the defendant is convicted than the possession charges alone

Of course, until recently, the military knew the difference between a meth lab and weapons of mass destruction:

The 91st is a full-time guard unit based in Arizona, and is designed to assist local first responders dealing with terrorist-created radiological, biological or chemical agents, unit commander Lt. Col. Michael Lynch said.
"We can be called out to help when local authorities find something that is beyond a meth lab, and could be a weapon of mass destruction," Lynch said. "We have equipment that can determine what a substance is within hours of obtaining a sample."

This old man was selling precursors to Weapons of Mass Destruction. Let's give him life in prision

At Gitmo, no less!

This is so disgustingly reprehensible...a new low for the jack-boots.

The clowns here who support this must really be proud of this JBT action.

The statute defines a chemical weapon as any weapon, device, method or substance that is designed or has the capability to cause death or serious injury through the release, dissemination or impact of toxic or poisonous chemicals or their immediate precursors.

I guess they don't have any oil refineries or pesticide factories in this state?
