AKRON, Ohio -- Summit County ranks as the meth capital of Ohio, according to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency.

The report lists the county as third overall in the United States.

Authorities said there are more than 200 meth labs in Summit County.

Last month, the county started a Web site to identify properties that once housed meth labs.

Ashtabula is the second most active meth county...

Hello from the meth capital of California. Working right in the middle of it right now...the county, not the meth.

Meth...

The fuel of the future.

before it became a popular drug some of us were using roughly the same formula for (not quite legal) rocket experiments.

Makes a real good thrust to weight ratio.
