We hope you're feeling totally wired for Meth Day! The US Department of Justice has set up a website celebrating this cherished American holiday. On it, we learned:

* "Meth can be taken by swallowing, snorting, smoking, or injecting it with a hypodermic needle."

* "meth can be manufactured using a variety of store bought chemicals."

* "The most common ingredient in meth is pseudoephedrine or ephedrine, commonly found in cold medicine. Through a cooking process the pseudoephedrine or ephedrine is chemically changed into meth. The ingredients that are used in the process of making meth can include: ether, paint thinner, Freon®, acetone, anhydrous ammonia, iodine crystals, red phosphorus, drain cleaner, battery acid, and lithium (taken from inside batteries)."

* "Cooking meth is relatively simple"

* "labs can be set up in homes, motel rooms, inside automobiles, and in parks or rural areas -- really almost anywhere."

* "Using meth causes an increase in energy and alertness, a decrease in appetite, and an intense euphoric 'rush.'"

Wow, sign us up!

The best part of National Meth Day, of course, is that it'll last until Sunday at the earliest.
