We have a lot of crystal meth labs here in Central Illinois, reason being a lot of NHO4 is needed to produce it. Now say around LA they have to go to a chemical company and buy a 50 gallon drum.

All they need is a truck with a hitch and down the road they go. Every time they bust a lab the hasmat team goes in first. Lab? A lot of them use their kitchens.
