Crystal meth isn't just a problem in the United States it's also a drug of concern in certain parts of Ireland too. Crystal meth is an extremely dangerous and highly addictive street drug that's widely available in certain areas of Dublin, Ireland due to the availability of over the counter products containing pseudoephedrine and much simpler methods of production today.
According to RTE News some pharmacies in Dublin were seeing repeat purchases of cold medications that contain pseudoephedrine, which is a main ingredient, used to illegally manufacture crystal meth. Sudafed is a cold medication that contains pseudoephedrine and a popular medication that was being purchased over the counter in large amounts from some pharmacies in Dublin which pharmacists are now being warned about.
Crystal meth is being manufactured in small makeshift labs in domestic settings in Dublin, Ireland obviously the same as it is here in the United States which makes the illegal drug more of a serious concern. Crystal meth may produce an intense rush when the drug is abused but it leads to a devastating crash hours later which intensely drives the user to repeat their use. Repeated use of crystal meth leads to addiction which not only destroys the user, the families and communities are also seriously affected.
