Meth Lab Statistics South Carolina
September 4, 2008
In 2008, the DEA reported that methamphetamine is a constant threat in the state of South Carolina; however, methamphetamine manufacture and abuse has shown a steady decrease over the past two years throughout South Carolina from 2005 to 2007.
Mexico and local suppliers are the primary sources for methamphetamine in the state with Atlanta reported as a source city. Typically, the drug is transported from Mexico, California, and Atlanta by private vehicle using I-20 and I-95.
During 2006, South Carolina passed legislation to curb indiscriminate access to over-the-counter cold and allergy medications containing pseudo ephedrine to clandestine laboratory operators and their associates, as a means to halt manufacture in their respective states.
