Methamphetamine
Biggest drug issue in the Chippewa Valley right now In past, many clandestine labs were made to manufacture methamphetamine
– Materials to make meth were easily accessible – Meth was cheaper to make – Meth had higher potency – Relatively easy to make – though dangerous
SLIDE 4
Methamphetamine
Three (3) different types of methamphetamine labs
– Red Phosphorus (Red P) – Birch Reduction (Nazi method) – One Pot (Shake N Bake)
End result is the same – the method of getting there is different Each method has their own dangers…
SLIDE 5
Red Phosphorus Labs
“Red P”
SLIDE 6
Red Phosphorus Labs
What is it?
– Uses chemical reactions made by Iodine, red phosphorus, and other household items to convert ephedrine/pseudoephedrine into methamphetamine – What are the dangers?
Explosions Fires Chemical burns – skin, lungs
SLIDE 7
Red Phosphorus Labs
What’s in “Red P” meth?
– Ephedrine/Pseudoephedrine – Red Phosphorus (matchheads, fireworks) – Methanol – (Heet) – Anhydrous Ammonia – Sulfuric Acid (Drano) – Sodium Hydroxide
- Etc…

Birch Reduction “Nazi” Method
SLIDE 13
Birch Reduction Method
What is it?
– Uses anhydrous ammonia as main chemical to convert ephedrine/pseudoephedrine into methamphetamine – More common in rural areas ***Anhydrous ammonia is farming fertilizer – Still highly volatile and dangerous
Ammonia gas Explosions
SLIDE 14
Birch Reduction
What’s in it?
– Ephedrine/Pseudoephedrine – Anhydrous Ammonia – Lithium – Salt – Ethanol – Ice
SLIDE 15

SLIDE 17
One-Pot Meth Lab “Shake n Bake”
SLIDE 18
One-Pot Labs
What is it?
– “Newest” method of cooking methamphetamine – Uses low budget tools to complete process – Not as elaborate of a set-up – Uses many of the same ingredients and chemical reactions as the other methods – EXTREMELY dangerous
SLIDE 19
One-Pot Labs
People will dispose of waste materials in ditches and/or secluded areas What’s in it?
– Two (2) liter soda bottles – Lithium batteries – Pseudoephedrine – Coleman camp fuel – Salt – Muriatic acid
SLIDE 20
Methamphetamine
Waste items indicative of Meth production
– Tote coolers – Household chemicals – Beakers/vials – Coffee filters – Soda bottles with unknown contents – Outer coating of lithium batteries

Let’s Recap!
SLIDE 27
Meth Lab Recap
Chemicals used in methamphetamine production can be very volatile – especially when combined with one another DO NOT handle any of the production/waste materials Any suspicious materials should be reported to local law enforcement
SLIDE 28
Meth Lab Recap
Easy to make Cheap to make Ease of access for materials Extremely dangerous Avoid at all costs SAFETY, SAFETY, SAFETY
SLIDE 29
Butane Hash Oil (BHO) Labs
SLIDE 30
BHO Labs
What is it?
– Process of using butane to extract THC from marijuana – End result is a highly concentrated, highly potent, smokable substance – Very few tools needed – Can use low quality marijuana (15% THC) for a high quality result (80% to 90% THC)
SLIDE 31
BHO Labs
Tools of the trade
– Glass tubes/cylinders – Butane – Marijuana (buds, clippings, “shake”) – Pyrex dish – Stove/Hot plate – Coffee filters
SLIDE 32
BHO Labs
Pros
– Turns bad weed into a good or better product – BHO is easier to conceal – Finished product is extremely potent and gives users an intense high – Can use leaves/trimmings and shake
Cons
– If done incorrectly, the process can be volatile – Butane is extremely flammable
