The other components of meth, including hydriodic acid, are smuggled in or manufactured illegally.
Iodine itself is not an ingredient in methamphetamine, but it can be converted chemically into a necessary component, a dangerous and corrosive acid called hydriodic acid.
The manufacture of methamphetamine involves strong acids (such as hydriodic acid), highly flammable chemicals (such as ether, acetone and red phosphorous), and poisons (including iodine and mercury, salts) (Horne 1997, Australian Institute of Health and Welfare 2002, Australian Bureau of Criminal Intelligence 2001, 2002, Matthews 2001).
