Close-up of meth crystals (Methamphetamine hydrochloride).
Can a simplified list be developed for meth chemical precursors
Answer: Look for indicators. As governments restrict the sale of
chemicals which might be used in meth production and mandate
reporting requirements, meth labs seek out materials which can be
easily purchased without attracting attention. There are probably
over 1000 different recipes for making meth using various
commercially available products.
Rather than list the many different solvents and acids which might
be purchased at a paint or hardware store (and used by ordinary
households, e.g. wood finishing, restorations, automotive
purposes, scale removal), look for certain key indicators, e.g.,
(1) large amounts of cold remedy tablets, (2) large amounts of
lithium batteries, especially mangled batteries, (3) ammonia or
other chemical odors, (4) ammonia stored in unauthorized vessels
such as a portable propane tank, (5) bulk ephedra plant material
or powder or tablets, sometimes sold as diet aids, (6) red-stained
coffee filters, (7) large amounts of iodine crystals in a
household, and (8) books or recipes on methamphetamine manufacture
[an example of a book which can be purchased openly is "Uncle
Fester's Secrets of Methamphetamine Manufacture", at amazon.com].
Remember, some items can be stolen. There may be solvents and
acids from a variety of commercial products used in combination
with these other indicators.
