Operating a Meth Lab / Methamphetamine Charges

Meth labs (methamphetamine labs) are dangerous and are a great risk to the public. Anyone found to be operating a meth lab will face very harsh penalties in Riverside County. Meth labs are dangerous because they involve the process of manufacturing methamphetamine which is a controlled substance and a severely addictive illegal drug. Many people are not even aware that meth labs exist in their neighborhood until it is too late and a house explodes or catches fire contaminating everything around it, including exposing everyone in the neighborhood to dangerous toxins and chemicals.

Meth labs have also been found in hotel rooms, sheds, garages, cabins and trailers. Regardless of where the operation of the meth lab takes place, or whether or not it was just in the beginning stages, those charged can expect very harsh penalties to be enforced. In addition to a lengthy jail or prison sentence, a person can be sentenced to fines, community service, counseling, drug rehabilitation, probation and parole, along with several other penalties.

Riverside Drug Manufacturing Defense Attorney

The meth manufacturing process begins through the use of many easily obtained and common products found at a local store that may include, but are not limited to: cotton balls, rubbing alcohol, lantern fuel, battery acid, salt, bleach, hydrogen peroxide, coffee filters and aluminum fuel. In addition, many over-the-counter cold and asthma medications containing ephedrine or pseudoephedrine are also commonly used as well to make methamphetamine. Many stores have taken note of the increase in shoplifting and sales of the over-the counter products and medication. They now lock up these products allowing them to be purchased only in very small quantities and once a valid ID is shown. Doing this has notably helped in lowering the amount of meth labs in Riverside County. Meth labs have steadily decreased from over 600 labs busted in the year 2000, to just fewer than 25 meth labs busted in Riverside County in 2007.
