In a country that is still recovering from an opioid crisis, law enforcers are starting to see the emergence of super-powered versions of meth.
Dealers find the psychostimulant more profitable and easier to distribute. Users are getting a quicker, more robust high. And that potency is killing people.
"What we're seeing is very pure crystal meth that is coming from south of the border. It is very inexpensive, it is very pure, and it is very deadly," said Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin Steele. Steele points out that Narcan, which is used to revive people from opioids, is not an option with meth.
