Chemistry 101


Did you know that Mexico drug cartels already control most of the marijuana, cocaine, and heroin that enters into the U.S.? Well, now they are "fast becoming kings of methamphetamines." The same is true for other "synthetic" drugs like ecstacy, and over 40 other synthetic drugs now popular among druggies. These drugs can be produced in only a few hours, compared to the months it takes to grow marijuana, for example. And, they can always depend on China to supply them with the chemicals they need. An estimated 41,000 people have been killed in Mexican drug wars since 2006.
