Though it is doctor prescribed it has a limited medical use, and doses are smaller than the ones of addicts. Most of the meth abused in the US comes from foreign or domestic super labs, though it can also be made in small, illegal drug labs. These labs are dangerous to people in the labs, their neighbors, or the environment.
