To meet the ever-increasing ever increasing black market dem<strong>and</strong> for<br />
amphetamines, cl<strong>and</strong>estine laboratory production has<br />
mushroomed. Today, most amphetamines distributed<br />
to the black market are produced in cl<strong>and</strong>estine<br />
laboratories. Methamphetamine laboratories are, by<br />
far, the most frequently encountered cl<strong>and</strong>estine<br />
laboratories in the United States. The ease of<br />
cl<strong>and</strong>estine synthesis, combined with tremendous<br />
profits, has resulted in significant availability of illicit<br />
methamphetamine, especially on the West Coast,<br />
where abuse of this drug has increased dramatically<br />
in recent years.<br />
