Manufacturing Methamphetamines

Legal Guidance from Bowling Green Criminal Defense Lawyers

Methamphetamines, also referred to as meth, are some of the most abused and highly consumed drugs in the state of Kentucky. This highly addictive drug has been associated with thousands of crimes in the state and has slowly been on the rise in terms of usage, sales, and manufacturing.

The state has implemented numerous laws, such as KRS 218A, and policies to help reduce the availability of methamphetamines and their components. Anyone found owning, manufacturing or possessing meth can be subject to serious consequences and penalties.

Regulations on Pharmaceuticals Used to Make Meth

In an effort to prevent individuals from obtaining chemicals and drugs needed to create meth, pharmacies must comply with state and federal regulations. There is an electronic system that pharmacies implement that denies the purchase of particular items within a 30-day time limit and regulates the type and amount of certain medications that a person can obtain.

Despite the regulations, some individuals still illegally manufacture this dangerous drug. Being caught operating a meth lab, meth house, or attempting any other form of drug manufacturing could leave you facing a Class B felony charge or Class A felony if you are a repeat offender.
