Rural Missouri road to be closed, meth-making blamed

[proud2BlibKansan]

ALLENVILLE, Mo. • Officials in Cape Girardeau County have decided to close a portion of a dead-end gravel road out of concern that people were driving there to make methamphetamine, then dumping the dangerous waste.

The Southeast Missourian reports that Michael Wessel, a resident who lives at the end of County Road 229 in Hubble Township, successfully petitioned the county commission in December to give him and another landowner jurisdiction over the portion of the road.

Wessel plans to place at gate at the road and post signs of its closure.

Meth makers in recent years have increasingly turned to so-called "shake-and-bake" meth, which is made by mixing the volatile ingredients in a 2-liter soda bottle, rather than in an elaborate lab inside a home.

4. New 'Shake and Bake' Meth Method Explodes

Also known as the "one pot" method, shake and bake meth is produced in a two-liter soda bottle. A few cold pills are mixed with common, but noxious, household chemicals and produces enough meth for the user to get a few hits.

The old meth labs required hundreds of pseudoephedrine pills, containers heated over open flames and cans of flammable liquids. The cooking process created foul odors making the labs difficult to conceal. They often sparked explosions.

The shake and bake method requires only a few pseudoephedrine pills, circumventing laws passed restricting the sale of large quantities of over-the-counter decongestants, cold and allergy remedies.

The new method requires little room. All of the necessary items can be carried in a backpack, making the process mobile. Drug users are making meth while driving around in their cars and throwing the used plastic bottles, containing a poisonous brown and white sludge, along the highway.

The birthplace of a certain fat ass drug addict who spews hatred over the airwaves on a regular basis.
