amphetamines, cl<strong>and</strong>estine laboratory production has<br />

to the black market are produced in cl<strong>and</strong>estine<br />

laboratories. Methamphetamine laboratories are, by<br />

laboratories in the United States. The ease of<br />

where abuse of this drug has increased dramatically<br />

in recent years.<br />
