Shake and Bake. It's not just for chicken anymore. The once famous bread crumb coating for chicken and pork is now being used to describe the faster and easier way to make methamphetamine. Shake and bake meth is all the rage, allowing meth users and makers to produce the drug on the run and in smaller doses thereby bypassing the laws intended to stop the production of this deadly drug.
What one needs to make shake and bake meth almost sounds like an episode of MacGyver: an empty two-liter soda bottle, a few handfuls of cold pills and some noxious household chemicals and you got a mini meth lab in a bottle. Apparently, you have to do Shake the bottle and the volatile chemical reaction produces one of the most addictive drugs in the entire world.
Shake and bake meth doesn't even require a flame like a traditional meth lab nor does it give off the foul odor normally associated with manufacturing methamphetamine. Shake and bake meth also requires far less pills of decongestant pseudoephedrine (aka cold medicine) which allows for meth users and sellers to fly under the radar as the purchase of this drug is regulated to prevent the manufacturing of methamphetamine. The small amount of cold medicine required to make shake and bake meth doesn't trigger suspicion that someone is making the deadly drug.
While shake and bake meth may be seen as good news by meth users and sellers, it is certainly not good news for the rest of us. Although easier, shake and bake meth is just as dangerous to make as traditional meth.
The potential for an explosion with shake and bake meth is just great and the damage even more likely given the fact that the individual is actually holding the "bomb" so to speak. Also, once the crystal powder has been extracted, the toxic sludge at the bottom of the bottle is often discarded into the public. That can't be good.
The bottom line is deadly drugs made easier is never a good thing. Shake and bake meth is no exception.
