What does it smell like when someone cooks off a batch of meth?

Question

Someone that lives close to me sometimes burns something that has an odd smell. He doesn't do it all the time, but recently he went through a phase where he was doing it nearly every night for about a week. Always after dark.

Answer 1

Production of methamphetamine usually can result in strong odors that can smell similar to cat urine or fingernail polish. Large amounts of precursor chemicals—such as antifreeze, lantern fuel, denatured alcohol, drain cleaner, and cold medicines containing pseudoephedrine—and glassware and coffee filters being purchased or stolen are signs that there may be methamphetamine labs in the area.

Contact a drug task force if you have one in your city or county. You can report anonymously.

Answer 3

Wow, you could be my neighbor. We have the same problem with one of our neighbors except I can't go in my back yard after 9 pm because of the smell every night. AND the cops know about their drug habit!
Sorry couldn't tell you what it smells like when someone is doing it. But, I have heard that the labs they make it in smell like really really bad cats pee. Good luck with your problem. Hope your local cops are more help than ours.

What ur smelling (if its a lab) is probably the fumes coming off of the reaction or possibly the "catpiss" smell witch is near the end of the process.

If ur talking about him smoking it its very unlikly ur smeeling meth smoke, meth is near odderless when smoked.
