Manufacturing of Controlled Substances - Charges & Penalties

Drug manufacturing is an offense that is related to producing illegal controlled substances such as cocaine, methamphetamine, ecstasy and LSD. These may be created with certain laboratory procedures using specific chemicals. Manufacturing is most commonly related to methamphetamine and "meth labs." These can be set up in homes, apartment buildings and even in the trunks of cars and are used to manufacture methamphetamine. State and federal law enforcement agencies throughout the U.S. are particularly committed to locating and stopping meth labs and drug manufacturing of all kinds. The DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) reports that there were 196 meth lab incidents in North Carolina in 2008 alone, handed by the DEA, state and local authorities.
