One-Pot Methamphetamine Cooks Pose New Danger

A new method of manufacturing methamphetamine,  designed to get around laws restricting the sale of the  ingredients needed to make meth, is spreading across the  country. Law enforcement officials claim the new "shake and  bake" process is even more dangerous than the old  makeshift meth labs.  Methamphetamine cooks, using the “one‐pot” method,  combine the anhydrous ammonia (or fertilizer from which it is extracted), the  pseudoephedrine tablets, water, and the reactive metal (ie. Lithium) into one container at  the beginning of the process.  After the chemical reaction, what's left is a crystalline powder  that users smoke, snort or inject. They often discard the  bottle, which now contains a poisonous brown and white  sludge.  The idea is to reduce the amount of time needed for the  overall process. The danger to subjects and to law  enforcement is due to the mixing of all of the ingredients in  the one container.  The concentration of products builds up the ether pressure within the sealed container to  levels beyond which the containers were not built to withstand. The building pressure can  create a rupture or bursting of the container exposing the ingredients within to the air.  Beyond the damage from the bursting container, exposure of items such as lithium to the  air then creates further explosive danger.  The growing use of the one‐pot method increases the danger  to law enforcement and civilians from explosions, fires, and  exposure to dangerous chemicals.  The shake and bake method is extremely dangerous. If the  bottle is shaken the wrong way, if any oxygen gets inside of it,  or if the cap is loosened too quickly, the bottle can exploded  into a giant fireball.  Authorities suggest that individuals, who find discarded bottles containing an unknown  mixture, leave them alone. Do not open them or pick them up. Contact the WVDEP  Hazardous Emergency Response Hotline at 1‐800‐642‐3074.
