Question: Can I Find Out If a Meth Lab Has Ever Been in a House I'm Buying?
Answer: Possibly. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration has established the first national methamphetamine site registry to inform the public of possible meth contaminated sites in their communities. The National Clandestine Laboratory Register Web site lists locations in each state where known clandestine meth labs or dump sites have been identified. See also: How to Spot a Meth Lab.
