I love this quote:

It wasn't the case that suddenly people woke up in that last quarter of 2024 and decided, 'Well, we're going to double our meth use'' or 'We're really interested in meth suddenly'."

I don't love the increase in cheaper meth though. Meth was already a disaster.

They are probably testing for the metabolites rather than the drug itself
