Americans have a lot to worry about right now. The purpose of this article isn’t to give anyone another thing to worry about. These are some signs of drug activity in your neighborhood you should be aware of because it’s not outside the realm of possibility that there’s a drug house on your block. Drug Houses are very dangerous.
Drug Houses
Drug cartels and drug dealers will push their product anywhere they can get away with it and keep their operations running for as long as possible. They couldn’t care less if people like it. Profit is all that matters. Drug trafficking is certainly more prevalent in lower income neighborhoods, but a drug house can pop up anywhere in a city. You won’t necessarily see a drug runner slinging a bag of drugs, but there are some things you should be looking for.
Meth Drug House
Knowing the warning signs of a former crystal meth lab starts with the production of crystal meth and how it is easy to produce in a house. Crystal Methamphetamine, or meth, is a type of amphetamine, which was popular as a nasal decongestant. It is a high-octane stimulant and classified as a Schedule II substance by the United States Government.
The cold medicines containing ephedrine or Pseudoephedrine make the base for this drug. These drugs are combined and cooked with chemicals like acetone, Freon, and phosphorous to cause the chemical crystallization to occur. Ephedrine or Pseudoephedrine is combined with phosphorous or lithium. Next, the water is added. Then the solvent like gasoline or acetone is added to extract the methamphetamine.
The last step includes heat to form crystals. All of these chemicals are hazardous to humans and contaminate a house. Some examples of these chemicals are nail polish remover, brake fluid, anti-freeze, and matches. Be aware of all clandestine homes in your area.
