In 2008, the DEA reported that methamphetamine continued a five-year trend as Atlanta’s fastest growing drug problem in Georgia. This trend is particularly true in the Atlanta, Dalton, and Gainesville metropolitan 
areas.
Since 2002, most of the significant methamphetamine seizures in the state were the result of stash/distribution site raids or state/local interdiction stops.
Methamphetamine clandestine laboratories located within the state have declined since legislation was enacted in 2005 to restrict the sale of over-the-counter products containing pseudoephedrine: It is one of the essential chemicals used in producing methamphetamine. However, there has also been a corresponding increase in the availability of methamphetamine-Ice in the Atlanta metropolitan area.
