Mexican army finds 15 tons of pure methamphetamine
MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexican troops have made an historic seizure of 15 tons of pure methamphetamine in the western state of Jalisco, the Mexican army said in a statement released late Wednesday.
Soldiers discovered the huge cache in the town of Tlajomulco de Zuniga, a suburb of Mexico's second-largest city, Guadalajara.
The statement had no other details but said it would publicly present the seizure on Thursday. Spokesmen answering the phone at the army's base in Guadalajara refused to comment further.
------------
The find outside Guadalajra is more than four times the size of a major seizure last summer of 3.4 tons (3.1 metric tons) and more than twice the total amount of meth seized in Mexico in 2009, according to the U.N. report.

"Amphetamine has been, and is still, used by militaries around the world. British troops used 72 million amphetamine tablets in the second world war and the RAF used so many that "Methedrine won the Battle of Britain" according to one report. American bomber pilots use amphetamine ("go pills"
to stay awake during long missions."

Rather short of fifteen million tons per day usage by US airmen alone... 
Not so much as badly stated, but rather a misstatement by any measure.
In the mid 60s I was one of six pilots who flew cramped, single-seat fighters (RF-84/F) from Ramey AFB in Puerto Rico to Birmingham, Alabama where our Air National Guard base was located.
We'd been on a one week joint exercise down there.
The trip was about 1500 miles and took around 5 hours.
We 'buddy' flew with a couple of KC-135 tankers so we could refuel from time to time.
You couldn't really move around or stretch in that confining cockpit, so I was numb from the hips down about 3 hours into the flight.
The doc gave each of us some kind of amphetamine tablet to take an hour before our arrival.
As you can imagine, we were dead tired by then and needed to be 'up' for landing.
After we'd parked and shut the birds down, he gave us a 'Stop' pill, probably some form of phenobarbital.
I took it with a couple of beers (Yeah, bad, I know) and zonked for about 18 hours.
One of my buddies on that flight topped it and then some in 1991.
"The RF-4C Phantom II was the last manned, tactical reconnaissance aircraft in U. S. Air Force inventory. The 1991 Persian Gulf conflict was its last war. Still, the RF-4C was in on the action in Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm from the beginning."
"The Phantoms belonged to the 106th Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron (TRS) of the Alabama Air National Guard (ANG) at Birmingham and were led by Col. (later Maj. Gen.) James F. “Jim” Brown. Their journey to the war zone may have been the longest nonstop flight made by operational warplanes until that time, requiring 16 air-to-air refuelings and spanning 8,000 nautical miles in 15.5 hours. “The Phantom has a roomy cockpit but this was a real challenge to comfort,” Brown said later."
And a whole bunch of sudafed. 
I think maybe the trailer dwellers will have to switch to rattlesnake farming.
