The Meth Epidemic
Known here as 'P', what started as a fad among motorcycle gangs in the 1970s has become big business, both overseas and here at home, largely due to the efforts of two Mexican drug runners who began smuggling ephedrine - a common ingredient in cold remedies - into California by the ton. This PBS documentary examines America's addiction to meth and exposes the inherent conflict between the illegal drug trade and the legitimate three-billion-dollar cold remedy business.
