Bingo!
This is how many have been found, not how many there are.
I'd rather see a higher number if that also means a large percentage of the labs are being found. If only a small handful are found I'd have to wonder why.
For New York at least there isn't any big meth market. Cocaine is the most popular hard drug in NYC by far (probably by a factor of a 100), so there isn't that many meth labs around NYC and bordering states (NJ, CT).
If you ever need incentive to not do meth or to convince someone you know not to do meth, look up "Faces of Meth" on Google. They show before and after pictures of meth addicts and the after pictures are downright frightening.
This is just the most reported meth labs in each county, i think with the absence of police in some of these counties really make you think that county is doing good with crime when really they arent.
Oklahoma, Missouri and Michigan look to be the winners, what a sad list for these states to be on top of. Meth is a destroyer of life, its the worst of all drugs.
My sister's ex boyfriend used it and some of her friends... NEVER touch the ****..NEVER. It will **** you up like no other.
I've said many times that meth is right there with heroin as the worst possible drug to become addicted to. Meth literally rots your body from the inside out, and heroin addiction is impossible to overcome.
I'm surprised there is big meth problem in Texas Texas does NOT have alot of drugs like San Francisco , San Diego ,Miami ,Atlanta ,Baltimore , Detroit, Philippines these cities have lot drugs .

Apparently my brother did Heroin for awhile after his best friend died for a few months....my parents said it set his mental capacity back more than 6 years. Very sad.
The map in the OP was 2004-2012, this is a 2012 map so you can compare and see where action is taking place or where production is going up, these are state totals.
If you watch the progression, meth started on the west coast and moved across the country. It looks like the west coast is starting to get a better handle on in but the midwest is the focus now.
Meth cooks come to places were the incarceration rate is low for drug offenders. Sometimes many of the labs are from the same cooks getting busted getting out and starting a new ones. Meth heads get busted, get out on bail and start cooking again. Some of them get busted while waiting on a charge for a previous bust. A more accurate number would have to be people and not just labs.
