Contextualizing methamphetamine production

Estimating the production of methamphetamine requires knowledge of various parameters for either plant or pharmaceutically derived methamphetamine. The focus here is on these two starting points, setting aside industrially sourced and illegally imported precursors. Using available information from the literature, reports, media sources, and other data, a preliminary model was constructed to approximate production for either plant or pharmaceutically derived methamphetamine. Future efforts can build on these models by improving precision of parameter estimates through on-the-ground validation.
