On March 2, 2023, Aiden Sagala did what many people do after a long, hot day at work. He cracked open a cold one. Little did he know, that swig of beer would kill him. Aiden didn’t realize that the can was full of liquid methamphetamine, not beer.
Imagine having a full on engineering and chemistry team that makes it ships it then processes it into crystal meth to be sold overseas and domestic. They have an entire process from raw materials to crystal meth…
The Cartels invented that process after our “war on drugs” made it impossible to get pseudo-ephedrine over the counter in drug stores, which was a key ingredient in good ol’ fashioned biker meth. Biker meth wasn’t a nice drug, but it was afternoon tea compared to the new production methods. The new stuff is much more addictive and it causes permanent changes in the brain. You can get off new meth, but you are never the same… this is a key ingredient in the increasing levels of violence and psychosis amongst street addicts.
It’s crazy for sure. The logistics are neat. Crazy that all that work is cheaper than the domestic production. I’ve always wondered if the "liquid meth"is the finished product with liquid added or if it’s one of the intermediate steps and still needs to be precipitated and washed before sale.
NZ is especially attractive for the cartels and big dealers.
In Mexico, meth costs about $500 a kilogram. In Canada that same amount sells for $10,000, while in New Zealand one kilogram sells for almost $300,000.

I believe it’s finished product dissolved in water and then recrystallized.
