Meth Labs Information
The availability and demand for methamphetamine continues to increase throughout Tennessee.
Much of the methamphetamine consumed in the state is transported from Mexico and the Southwest Border area.
Methamphetamine lab seizures have grown from 822 in 2003 to 861 in 2005 in Tennessee.
The labs that are discovered in Tennessee are generally characterized as small and unsophisticated.
Many business owners and rental property owners are caught in the middle unable to generate income because their properties have become a hazardous waste site.
