Coffee Filters

Post by Tater »

Last few meth busts Ive read about .Law was called when neighbors noticed coffee filters around . Guess they must use coffee filters a lot in manufacture of it .So if that's true be careful when using them for filters and covers over jars.

I hope they don't start watching who buys them. Like everything else they use.

Heres part of the story-- Home
News

Meth lab found behind cemetery mausoleum








Lt. Craig, head of the sheriff’s department’s narcotics unit, said Key recognized coffee filters and other materials used to make meth on the pickup’s open tailgate and called for assistance.----and part of another---- Jennings detected something with a chemical odor at the home, found empty Pseudoephedrine boxes and then found a backpack containing an HCL generator, tubes, coffee filters. Lithium batteries and other materials, all considered meth precursors.

I buy sugar at CostCo. Every damn thing we buy we get in bulk, so I don't worry about that.
Somehow they don't even question 50# of brown sugar when you're also buying 50# of meat and a palate of spaghetti sauce.

I just lay a clean white cotton cloth over the airing jars. Only use coffee filters for covering the opening on my ageing containers (kegs and demijohns), and don't need many for that.

They use WAY MORE than we will ever buy for our hobby. They will be buying 10 or more packages at a time. Unfortunately around here meth was a pretty big thing. I have a family member who fell into it and I have heard all about it. Nasty stuff.

Did they want to know what you burnded so bad that you need a whole box? We sell certain construction products that are "dangerous goods" at work and are required to take drivers license info for them because they may contain chemicals that can be used to make meth ie:acetone or xylene kinds of things. Curious what raises a flag about copper scrubbies :wtf:

Funny thing meth heads around here will steal ANYTHING made from copper to sell for scrap.
I've got some rentals and the copper goes quick if the place is vacant for long!
