Methamphetamine, also known as Meth, “P”, crack or ice is a toxic, powerful and highly addictive stimulant affecting the central nervous system. Meth is one of the most common forms of illicit amphetamines in New Zealand.
Meth can be manufactured or “cooked” anywhere, from a rental home, motel room, kitchen, laundry, garage and even vehicles. The main ingredient is ephedrine or pseudoephedrine. It is estimated that for every kilogram of Meth manufactured, there is on average, seven kilograms of harmful chemical waste contaminating homes, surrounding soils and drinking water.
Meth is a Class A stimulant. Stimulants are the second most used illegal drug in New Zealand (Ministry of Health, 2010).

"We were referred to Stephanie from a friend who has used her in the past. She was really responsive and was super helpful consulting me on the different testing scenarios I could look at. Ended up saving us from buying a lemon as well! Great service and very timely report!"
