Meth 'super labs' on the rise in Mexico as crackdown has no effect on supply of drug to U.S.

The number of methamphetamine 'super labs' shut down by Mexican authorities has rapidly increased over the last few years, but it has had little effect on the supply.
More than 200 meth labs were seized last year, up ten times from four years ago, and the drug's production is now being done on an increasingly industrial scale.
Despite the increased rate of police intervention, the street price of meth has been continually falling, implying increased availability of the drug.

According the the Department of Justice, the price of the drug dropped from $270 per gram in July 2007 to $105 per gram in September 2010.

^you're right, but they mean per PURE gram.
like as in, a gram of meth on the street can be had for less tha n105 easy, but like for a one gram amount of PURE methamphetamine, it would cost like $110-105 according to their report, because you'd have to buy more than a gram to get a pure gram of methamphetamine, ya dig?

I guess I was very lucky in the past.

That aside, things like this only help further fuel the positive fire (yes it's terrible) of ending the drug war.
