Dangerous Drug Categorization makes for Serious Consequences
Meth is a very dangerous drug, and is actually categorized a “dangerous drug” in the eyes of the law due to its highly addictive nature and the severe affects it has on the user. Whether you are caught with a tiny amount, or found to be manufacturing or selling it, the courts will take the charges extremely seriously. In the Taco Bell case, setting up a meth lab to manufacture and presumably sell, will certainly result in a hefty prison sentence.
