Some hard-core methamphetamine addicts will do anything to get high, including collecting and drinking the urine of other users.

Police in New Mexico recently discovered meth users running "urine extraction" labs, reported Minnesota's news station WCCO.

The first indication of the new trend came when deputies opened up a smelly rented storage locker where they found 50 1-gallon jugs of urine. Police told the owners to throw away the contents, which made them physically ill.

A week later, Narcotics Sgt. Becky Howell received the report on the incident.

"I said, 'Oh my gosh, this is a meth lab. This is a urine extraction lab,'" Howell told WCCO.

It's the newest way to access meth. Some users drink the meth-tainted urine to get high while others use the cooking process to filter the drug back out.

"I'm not 100 percent sure what this guy was doing," Howell said. "Five years ago, I probably would have been surprised at that. But now, knowing and understanding methamphetamine and an addict's addiction to it, it doesn't surprise me."

Looks like the meth-heads have joined the hippie recycling movement.

I think that goes without saying... If you're drinking old urine collected from a junkie to get high, you have a problem.

At least urine is sterile (unless the person had some sort of bladder infection).

Ew yuck.

I don't understand this. I've smoked the stuff dozens, maybe hundreds of times, and it's not that addictive. Nowhere near as addictive as alcohol or cigarettes. Do alcoholics drink the urine of other drinkers? I don't think so... so what is it about these people.

I don't think alcohol ends up in the urine because it is processed by the liver.

Minute, probably not enough to get anything out of it. Not to mention alcohol to legal and you can't get it anywhere. You can't get meth anywhere.

So you've finally discovered the hidden secret of many bars. They actually collect the urine of their patrons and distill it to make rail liquors.

Actually, if you have the money, dope is usually easier to get than booze... especially for minors.

What's funny? I never did it more than a couple of days in a row and haven't touched it for years. Sure - if you buy a bag, you smoke the entirety of that bag, but after you've got some sleep you don't feel the urge to get another bag. Or I don't anyway.

You'd think they would only tell each other that.

Or did you not understand that one needs to use meth, to get meth from their urine? :)
