Who We Are & Why We Made This Resource Site  

We are a team of artists from small towns along the West Coast of the USA. We've chosen to create this site for many reasons, but the primary one is because even in our small towns we have seen the effects of methamphetamine use and production first hand. We've seen it take hold over our co-workers, neighbors and people we used to consider friends. We watched them flush their lives down the toilet one day at a time. We wanted to do something about this drug but we didn't want to make a copy of what's already out there. Having known meth addicts in the past we felt that if we merely created a page that appealed to them to stop they would ignore it. In the grips of a meth addiction a person is rarely open to the idea that they need to quit so we wanted a way to get to them and deliver the information about how dangerous this drug is without having them ignore what we're saying.

At first we didn't know how to go about that. What could we do to really reach people who need help the most? Obviously crank addiction is a huge problem all over the world due to how easy it is to make the drug. In fact, we learned through our research that the internet is full of recipes for making meth. Not only that, but there are legal protections for that information to remain published which is, in fact, better than having it hidden where the public cannot see it and therefore do nothing to stop it. That means all across the internet are pages where meth users are exchanging the dangerous means by which they can manufacture this toxic chemical cocktail known as methamphetamine.

That gave us an idea: we could publish the recipes, too! The key facts NOT mentioned in the other recipes are the wide array of deadly side effects that all of the chemicals used in the recipes have. Not only do the chemicals themselves pose serious health risks (including death), but the very process by which "crank meth" is manufactured carries extreme dangers of exploding all throughout the process. This is why whenever you see the police bust a meth lab they've got to wear all sorts of protective gear and have firefighters at the ready. All the chemicals are volatile and their mixing carries with it a huge risk of chemical poisoning and outright creation of hard to extinguish chemical fires.

The character we created to deliver the message, AKDirtyHeaven, is not a living person but rather a fictional conglomeration of various real life individuals we've encountered who use or were known to sell methamphetamines. Just because those people are now in prison doesn't help because there are countless other individuals out there still making, selling and using the drug. AKDirtyHeaven is meant to represent the crank dealer personality type, a cold-hearted individual focused on making cash by selling the drug. He doesn't care who it hurts or whose lives are ruined. And that's the thing about methamphetamine abuse: not only does it ruin the lives of those who abuse it, but there are many other side effects. Addicts frequently burglarize or even rob to support their habit because while it may start out cheap for them, the dependence grows and they need more and more money each day to keep "dosing". The lack of sleep also causes their personalities to become highly unstable, often aggressive and the need for the drug means they'll tell any lies they need to and eventually hurt anyone in their way in order to keep chasing that high.

Our hope is that this site shows people with a meth problem exactly how toxic their drug of choice truly is and for those searching out recipes that the process of making meth may not only place them in danger from the law, but ultimately end their life in an excruciatingly painful way. Because is a person's searching the internet for the recipes then they're obviously beginners rather than seasoned veterans who'll never turn back. We do not find addiction to be comical nor do we wish bad things on anyone involved in the drug. We simply want to create one more means by which people may come to realize what they can do to stop the rampage of meth. If a person finds our site while trying to learn more about the drug hopefully they'll carry away the information on how its made so that if they see someone buying or transporting those ingredients they can contact their local law enforcement and get one more lab off the streets or out of the woods.

If you're thinking that meth won't affect your life we encourage you to think again. Check out some of the videos and get a good look at the lives that this drug ruins daily. Punishment to law breakers is not enough, we can't expect the police to perform all the duties that an entire society must. We're not on some crusade to destroy the lives of addicts, there is help available and they can and do recover. For those who've turned to producing the drug to avoid poverty, we can lend some sympathy but the fact is that this is no way to rise to a better standard of living and it may well wind you up being bars for decades if you survive your first attempts at making the drug. For those of you out there who are trying to make a difference, we thank you and hope this page provides you with that much more ammo with which to fight this monster called meth.

Thank you for taking a look at this page and if you'd like to contact us and share your success stories, we'll gladly post them in the appropriate section because its just as important for people to see the positive futures that are possible as it is for them to know the realistic dangers.
