Methamphetamine is a synthetic chemical (man-made), unlike cocaine derived from plants.
Usually, shabu is made in 'dark planetarium' and hidden, using various forms of amphetamine or its derivatives, then mixed with other chemicals, to become stronger. Common medications such as fever medication are often used as a base for making them. The "chef" of the shabu takes his juice, pseudoephedrine (derived from other stimulants, amphetamine), and is mixed with hazardous or deadly substances such as battery acid, clogged pipe wipes, light oil, and anti-freeze, to make it stronger.
Because the materials used are volatile and in reality, the chefs of Sabu are also users whose minds are tangled, they often have accidents during the making with severe burns and disabilities or death. Accidents like this endanger the houses and buildings around it.
Dark laboratories also produce toxic waste-1 kilo methamphetamine producing 5-kilo trash. People who are exposed to this waste can get poisoned and become ill.

"When I give a piece of cheese to my three-year-old boy to eat, I do not know that I give poisonous food. I was too drunk at that time, until 12 hours later, I realized that my child was dying. But being so drunk, it took me 2 hours to figure out how to take her to a hospital only 8 km away. Upon arrival at the emergency, he was declared dead by a lethal dose of ammonia hydroxide-a material used to make a shabu. "
