Methamphetamine (meth) possession is considered especially serious by police because the manufacturing of this substance is so dangerous. Law enforcement usually takes a zero tolerance approach when finding evidence of meth because it is highly addictive, flammable and popular among youths and can have long-term health consequences. In Texas, the police and prosecutors are doing everything they can to curtail the sale and spread of meth.
