Mexican Navy busts massive liquid meth operation disguised in tequila bottles
The Mexican Navy seized over 19,000 pounds of methamphetamine stored inside tequila bottles at the port of Manzanillo. The seizure was the result of an inspection of 960 boxes that were due to be exported. Meth is a highly addictive drug that affects the central nervous system and overdoses involving meth nearly tripled from 2015 to 2019 among people ages 18-64. The NIDA Director called for a wider approach to drug treatment, looking at communities that are at the highest risk.
