FRONTLINE investigates the big business surrounding "Crystal Meth," the narcotic that swept the nation after two Mexican drug runners began smuggling ephedrine into California by the ton. In a reporting partnership with The Oregonian, the documentary explores America's addiction to meth and exposes the inherent conflict between the illegal drug trade and the legitimate three-billion-dollar cold remedy business that depends on ephedrine.
"This frontline episode blows the lid off one of the most frightening phenomenons in the history of America's War on Drugs. Recommended." - Video Librarian
