Sixty percent of those surveyed stated that they learned to cook methamphetamine under the supervision of close friends and relatives. About 11.6 pounds of finished methamphetamine was made per year with the vast majority made for personal use. Results show that an estimated 253,623 people were cooking meth in the Los Angeles High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) between the years 1999 to 2001. Both public and private drug abuse rehabilitation centers participated voluntarily in the survey over a 1 year period. The MLCS was implemented only in the specific geographic area of Riverside and San Bernardino Counties, which have historically produced more meth labs than any other counties in America. Only the small or stovetop methamphetamine lab cookers were the target audience of this survey. The MLCS consisted of a detailed four page anonymous 54-question survey and was designed to ascertain unknown aspects of local clandestine methamphetamine lab production.
