What is in meth?

Meth consists of many harmful and potentially volatile products ranging from lithium strips, anhydrous ammonia, phosphorus, toluene, red dye, sulfuric acid, iodine, and many more. This is very harmful to your body and the environment. For every pound of meth produced it leaves behind 5 pounds of contaminated debris and residual contamination as well.
