Law enforcement officials in the United States have noticed a new formula for methamphetamine spreading like wildfire. The highly addictive drug is now no longer made in big, highly toxic and explosive labs but can be whipped up by anyone. All it takes is a pop bottle, some cold tablets and a few chemicals. And most importantly, the new combo is still legal in many jurisdictions. So addicts are cutting out their dealer middle men and shaking up batches all by themselves.
