Presentation Transcript

  1. Clandestine Lab Safety and Awareness Instructor and Information

  2. Course Overview and Objectives • Understand the History of Methamphetamine • Recognize Methamphetamine Labs • Understand Methamphetamine Cooking Methods • Understand the Dangers of Methamphetamine Labs

  3. Video Clip Excerpt From: Salton Sea

  4. History of Methamphetamine • History • P2P Method • Ephedrine Reduction Method

  5. Methamphetamine Labs:The History 1887:First Synthesized - (Made from the drug ephedrine, an organic substance used as a medicine in China for centuries.) 1932:Sold in the U.S. as a nasal spray for treatment of inflammation of nasal passages. 1937:Used in tablet form to treat Narcolepsy (Spontaneous Sleep Disorder) 1930s-'40s:First epidemic of Methamphetamine abuse (Used by Allied and Axis troops to improve soldiers' performance. Major problem in Japan after World War II)

  6. Methamphetamine Labs: P2P Method 1960s:Second epidemic of Methamphetamine abuse P2P METHOD Required 72 hrs for Cooking Caused Strong Odors Required Knowledge of Chemistry Required Elaborate Lab Operations Required Remote Locations

  7. Methamphetamine Labs:P2P Method 1960s:Second epidemic of Methamphetamine abuse NOT THE CURRENT PROBLEM! P2P Methamphetamine “Biker Dope” is virtually extinct!

  8. Methamphetamine Labs:Ephedrine Reduction Method 1960s:Second epidemic of Methamphetamine abuse Early 1980s:Ephedrine/Pseudo-ephedrine Reduction becomes the method of choice for manufacturing Methamphetamine.

  9. Methamphetamine Labs:Ephedrine Reduction Method 1960s:Second epidemic of Methamphetamine abuse Early 1980s:Ephedrine/Pseudo-ephedrine Reduction becomes the method of choice for manufacturing Methamphetamine.

  10. Methamphetamine Labs:Ephedrine Reduction Method 1960s:Second epidemic of Methamphetamine abuse Early 1980s:Ephedrine/Pseudo-ephedrine Reduction becomes the method of choice for manufacturing Methamphetamine. ADVANTAGES: Faster Production (8 hrs) Odors Not as Strong Easier to Obtain Chemicals Produces Better Quality Methamphetamine than the P2P Method

  11. Recognition of Methamphetamine Labs • Locations • Equipment • Chemicals

  12. Video Clip Excerpt From: California Department of Criminal Justice “The Hidden Dangers of Meth Labs” 2000

  13. Recognition of Clandestine Labs • Clandestine Lab Awareness Course • Recognition of Clandestine Drug Laboratories

  14. Locations of Drug Labs • Common Locations • In suburban areas • Hotels • Motels • Apartments • In rural areas • Along transportation routes • Inside vehicles and conveyances ANYWHERE and EVERYWHERE!

  15. Equipment in Methamphetamine Labs • Hardware • Glassware • Other equipment

  16. The Cooking Methods • Red Phosphorous • Ephedrine/Pseudo • Phosphorous • Iodine • Anhydrous Ammonia • Ephedrine/Pseudo • Anhydrous Ammonia • Lithium or Sodium Metal

  17. Red Phosphorus Method -Processes and Hazards • Precursor • Reagents • Extraction • Separation • Cooking • Acid to Base • Salting out

  18. Precursor Chemicals Sources of Ephedrine & “Pseudo”

  19. Precursor Chemicals Sources of Ephedrine & “Pseudo”

  20. Precursor Chemicals 680 Tablets are needed to produce one ounce of Methamphetamine Source: D.E.A.

  21. Video Clip 9 News Report PSEUDO-EPHEDRINE THEFT ISSUE Denver, CO

  22. Red Phosphorous Method REAGENTS RED PHOSPHOROUS is the most common type of phosphorous used in meth labs. Commercial grade red phosphorous

  23. Red Phosphorous Method REAGENTS RED PHOSPHOROUS extraction most often from the striker plates of matches.

  24. Red Phosphorous Method REAGENTS IODINE CRYSTAL EXTRACTION

  25. Red Phosphorous Method REAGENTS IODINE

  26. Red Phosphorous Method RED PHOSPHOROUSextraction can be a very dangerous process…

  27. Red Phosphorous Method Washington State motel where an explosion occurred during red phosphorous extraction from matchbooks. NOTE:The explosion shot an aluminum can through the table…

  30. Red Phosphorous Method Precursor Extraction

  31. Red Phosphorous Method Precursor Extraction GRIND TABLETS

  32. Red Phosphorous Method Precursor Extraction Tablet extraction and other reactions in the pantry of an rental house.

  33. Red Phosphorous MethodSeparation SEPARATE LIQUID & COOK OFF SOLVENT

  34. Red Phosphorous MethodCooking

  35. Red Phosphorous Method National Jewish & NMTF Meth cook Broomfield Colorado 2003

  36. Red Phosphorous Method Initial Reaction RESIDUAL GASSES (Always present): Toxic - May be fatal if inhaled or absorbed through the skin. Flammable - May be ignited by heat, sparks, or flame. Containers may explode when heated!

  37. Red Phosphorous MethodCooking - Hazards Initial reaction, in a home, set up using a coffee pot as the reaction vessel.

  38. Red Phosphorous MethodCooking - Hazards Initial reaction set up in a home. Note the way this has been tied to the main gas line for the house.

  39. Red Phosphorous MethodCooking - Hazards • VENT BAGS • Also referred to as “DEATH BAGS” • Commonly contain phosphine gas Mobile Home Lab

  40. Red Phosphorous MethodCooking - Hazards A “push-pull” type of vent apparatus located in a mobile home lab in Colorado.

  41. Red Phosphorous MethodAcid to Base National Jewish & NMTF Meth cook Broomfield Colorado 2003

  42. Red Phosphorous MethodAcid to Base to Salt Out COMMON SOLVENTS USED IN VARIOUS STAGES OF THE PROCESS

  43. Red Phosphorous MethodAcid to Base to Salt Out SEPARATE FOR SOLVENT LAYER

  44. Red P & Anhydrous Method National Jewish & NMTF Meth Cook Broomfield Colorado 2003

  45. Red P & Anhydrous Method SALTING OUT (aka “RECOVERY”) HOMEMADE HYDROCHLORIC ACID GAS GENERATORS

  46. Red P & Anhydrous Method Combining Muriatic Acid and aluminum metal will create HCl Gas

  47. Red P & Anhydrous Method Combining Sulfuric Acid and salt will create HCl Gas
