In the wake of action by authorities, drug rings now import meth illegally from other countries, like China and Mexico, instead of producing locally. Most of the meth consumed in the country now comes from Mexico. As per reports, Mexican drug cartels are capable of manufacturing alternative versions of meth that are purer and deadlier.
