Meth Lab Statistics Vermont

September 4, 2008

In 2008, the DEA reported that methamphetamine is not commonly available throughout the state; although three clandestine methamphetamine laboratories were seized, one in October 2007, September 2005 and another in June 2004, prior to the seizure in 2004, the last seizure of a clandestine methamphetamine laboratory in Vermont occurred in 1990.

Recent intelligence indicates that methamphetamine use and availability is on the rise in the northern counties of Vermont. Sources of intelligence indicate that the drug is being transported from Canada into the United States by individuals frequenting popular ski resorts near the international border.
