3. Actually, les and less is manufactured here because of the crackdowns on supplies. But Mexico
is sending large batches of highly refined meth into the U.S..

4. Actually, I think the label would read something like this:
Assembled in the U.S.A. using components from China.

8. once its labeled they'll have to come up with a new marketing strategy...
I mean really, meth has an abysmal advertising campaign:


BLECH!!!
(i believe this is probably the picture you asked for...)
...and if they try to start taxing it as suggested by another user (DU user, not a meth user...), they have to convince people to pay for it first...

7. Well, meth and burgers.
Don't forget, fast food workers are now part of the manufacturing sector.
