Methamphetamine: Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich (D), Signs New Meth Bills, which will Increase Penalties, Create Meth Maker Registry 6/9/06.
Under a package of bills people convicted of making meth will now join sex offenders as social pariahs, meaning: A person who is rejected from society or home...
They will be so feared that the state will keep a registry of their names available to the public via the Internet. The registry will include the person's name, age, offense, conviction date, and county where he was convicted.
Tennessee became the first state to create a meth cook registry last year, and now has more than 400 names on its list, according to the State Bureau of Investigation. Similar legislation is pending in at least 4 states - Georgia, Oklahoma, Washington, and West Virginia. A bill in Oregon would require the state to alert residents when a meth maker is released into their area. And since 2003, Montana has included meth makers on its sexual and violent offender registry, without listing them separately.
The registry could be used to prevent convicted meth manufacturers from finding a place to live by providing "one-stop shopping" to see if someone has a record. A landlord could use this to see if people who apply to rent a place have been involved with meth manufacturing before.
(3) Additional Bills, (2) of which create Harsh penalties for meth-related offenses and (1) One Doubles the penalty for meth distribution or the distribution of meth precursors.
The 2nd Bill, increases to 15 YEARS the sentence for people engaged in ID theft to purchase meth ingredients.
The 3rd Bill, allows hospitals to report suspicious burns believed caused by meth-making accidents to state fire marshals, who can in turn report it to local investigators.
Statistics from California indicate that most, cooks make meth 48 to 72 times a year. It takes between four and six hours to cook the drug. For every pound of methamphetamine they make, these labs generate five to seven pounds of toxic waste.
Meth labs have a tremendous impact on communities. In North Carolina typical cleanup costs for a meth lab are between $4,000 and $10,000. These costs must be absorbed by property owners and local and state government. Unlike other drugs, meth creates little revenue for law enforcement. Instead of seizing homes and valuables that can offset interdiction costs, officials are left with costly cleanup and ruined properties.
-----------------------------------------------------
NEW LAWS AND FUNDING:
* Several new laws to fight meth were passed in 2004:

I can't beleive you ask that. But I know some people who got busted for doing that. It varies. If your a first time offender or if busted before. You would be looking at 3 to 5 yrs and parolle after that. It's like they say in the crime world. If you can't do the time don't do the crime. I could be wrong on those years. Manufacturing is a big time offence. Maybe 5 to life. So you better think about that line of work. Pays good but is it worth it? Let me know when you cook up your first batch I'd like to try it. The stuff I've been getting sucks. Just kidding.

Mandatory minimum prison sentence. They don't play when it comes to meth. No first offender no probation for first offense. I will assume you already know about those exploding meth labs. Be careful and if I was thinking about this career path I wouldn't go past selling weed. Anything else gets you a lot of time.
