- Initial Planning and Setup: Cartels, equipped with significant financial resources and expertise, identify suitable locations for clandestine labs. These locations are often remote, hidden, or within countries with lax law enforcement capabilities. The chosen sites may include rural areas, abandoned warehouses, or even hidden compartments within legitimate industrial facilities.
- Procurement of Precursor Chemicals: Cartels procure precursor chemicals, which are the essential building blocks for synthesizing synthetic drugs. These chemicals are often obtained through legal channels or illicit means, such as smuggling or corruption. Common precursor chemicals include pseudoephedrine, ephedrine, phenylacetone, and various solvents.
- Chemical Synthesis: Cartels employ chemists with specialized knowledge to conduct the synthesis process. The synthesis typically involves complex chemical reactions that transform precursor chemicals into the desired synthetic drugs. Common synthetic drugs produced by cartels include methamphetamine, MDMA (ecstasy), synthetic opioids (e.g., fentanyl), and synthetic cannabinoids.
- Laboratory Equipment and Safety Precautions: Clandestine labs are equipped with specialized laboratory equipment necessary for chemical synthesis, including glassware, reaction vessels, heating and cooling apparatus, and filtration systems. However, these facilities often lack proper safety measures, posing significant risks of chemical spills, explosions, and environmental contamination. Cartels prioritize secrecy over safety, putting lab workers and nearby communities at risk.
- Quality Control and Purity: Despite the clandestine nature of production, cartels aim to maintain quality control to ensure the potency and purity of their synthetic drugs. However, due to the lack of oversight and regulation, the purity and consistency of these drugs can vary widely, leading to unpredictable effects and health hazards for consumers.
- Packaging and Distribution: Once synthesized, the synthetic drugs are packaged for distribution. Cartels utilize various methods to smuggle drugs across borders, including concealment in legitimate cargo shipments, hidden compartments in vehicles, or even through human couriers. The drugs are then distributed through established trafficking networks to local distributors and street-level dealers for sale to consumers.
- Profits and Market Expansion: The production and distribution of synthetic drugs yield substantial profits for cartels, allowing them to fund other criminal activities and expand their operations. Cartels may also adapt their production techniques in response to law enforcement efforts, such as shifting locations or modifying synthesis methods to evade detection.
- Law Enforcement Response: Law enforcement agencies employ various strategies to combat the production and distribution of synthetic drugs, including surveillance, intelligence gathering, raids on clandestine labs, interdiction of precursor chemicals, and international cooperation. However, the clandestine nature of these operations presents significant challenges, and cartels continuously adapt their tactics to evade detection and prosecution.
In this episode we hear how the cartels and their Chinese associates have begun using labs in the United States itself to create their product, in hopes that it increases their profits. Meanwhile, 100's of thousands of Americans lay dead in the streets.
