FILE - This Monday, April 13, 2020 photo provided by the U.S. Border Patrol shows some of the nearly nearly 44 pounds (20 kilograms) of methamphetamines seized from an SUV at a highway checkpoint in southeastern San Diego County. Richard Rawson, previously the co-director of the University of California, Los Angeles, Integrated Substance Abuse Program and an expert in treating people with stimulant use disorder, says that in the 2000s, meth was at most 50% pure and less potent. But that has since changed. “The current methamphetamine that’s on the street is particularly damaging,” Rawson explained, because it nears levels of 100% purity and potency.
