I would venture to guess that most crystal meth that is consumed in the US is produced in the US.
The large operations here in America never last too long. No doubt you are right about most being of American origin. Still there is a lot of money fir their risk otherwise they wouldn't be doing it.

From what I know from a family source who works in enforcement on the border the Mexican sources are readily available and don't suffer from disruptions in production like those in America do.

The gangs that control the bulk of the meth trade here in America (biker gangs mostly Hells Angels, Outlaws etc) are getting most of their product from Mexican sources.

I could see legalizing weed but meth, cocaine and heroin have a very nasty habit of destroying people, the less readily available they are the better for society.
