OUT WITH THE METH LABS - IN WITH THE BOYSCOUTS
Now the hunters are coming across methamphetamine labs – what next ,the boy scouts? It is going a little too far when our outdoors become dangerous to the hunter, hiker, boy scout, etc. because drug dealers want to make a dangerous and addictive drug, while messing up the environment at the same time.
This article points out that there are laws regulating the sale of ingredients used in the cooking of methamphetamine. However, these laws vary, state by state and the states with the weak laws are likely to have the more methamphetamine labs, In fact, they are a magnet for those who live in states where sales of meth ingredients are regulated.
Methamphetamine labs mean death. They mean death to the user (the expected life span of a heavy meth user is 5 years.) A lab can mean death to innocent children who might be near by when one explodes and a more lingering type death to anyone exposed to the chemicals, such as agents who bust these labs.
There is no use for methamphetamine labs and any state that has not yet worked out how to effectively regulate the sales of those ingredients used in making meth are in some respect, even if unwittingly, working for the meth dealers.
Keep our outdoors safe for our families, especially our children – keep meth labs out.
For those already addicted, get them drug treatment. Narconon

“Hunters in four states recently have discovered methamphetamine labs or their remnants during their excursions in the woods, as drug makers seek more remote areas in which to produce meth, USA Today reported Dec. 11.
With laws regulating the sale of ingredients used in the cooking of methamphetamine, many labs are disappearing, but those who continue to produce meth are moving away from areas where neighbors may notice the activity. This has led to the recent discovery of meth labs or cooking materials by hunters in four states: Arkansas, Indiana, Michigan and Tennessee.
Although state environmental officials say it is more common for hunters to come across remnants than actual labs, some still are warning hunters to keep their distance from sites that could be a meth lab. Also, they are urging hunters to avoid contact with the solvents and acids used to cook the drug.
"Hunters come across a cooler or some other type of containers, and they're curious, and they want to open them," said Wes Baxter, a sheriff's deputy in Craighead County, Ark. "We strongly encourage people not to touch these items," which may require removal from a hazardous-waste removal team. “
