If you do not know what a Methamphetamine lab looks like maybe this may give you a bit of an idea. Picture a beautiful spring morning you walk outside to get a good whiff of fresh spring air and you receive a pungent dose of ammonia instead.
You look over the neighbour’s fence and notice an odd heatwave from the garage door. You notice empty canisters of Drano, bleach, ajax, broken car batteries and piles of empty over-the-counter cold medicines lying by the roadside.
You question your neighbour’s education and know he is not a certified chemist yet he sometimes does look like a “mad scientist” with charcoal soot around the eyes and an over-exaggerated grin of excitement.
