The episode discusses the transition from the P2P method to the pseudoephedrine reduction method for manufacturing methamphetamine in the 1990s.
- The pseudoephedrine reduction method involved using over-the-counter cold medicine to isolate and reduce the pseudoephedrine inside.
- Before the pseudoephedrine method, meth cooks used the P2P method, which involved mixing phenyl-2-propanone with other chemicals.
- In the late 1970s, phenyl-2-propanone was classified as a controlled substance, leading to tighter restrictions on precursor chemicals.
