I have inspected both after insurance claims have been filed.
Meth House gives me a major headache and cost a lot more to clean up.

well, duh.
same could be said for the meth lab, I suppose.
Granted, I wouldn't want to clean up a meth house, even with a haz-mat suit.
Meth labs are way worse I imagine.
I was just thinking about this last night when the local news was covering another big pot house bust in Diamond Bar, Ca. They have busted around a dozen full on pot grow houses in wealthy local neighborhoods in the last month that appear to all be connected to some pot ring. Anyways the news reporters make a big deal out of it and interview neighbors who are "shocked & alarmed" and I remember thinking they were over reacting as if it were a meth lab.
Is mold really a problem with pot houses? I would assume not because mold can ruin a crop so the growers should keep their rooms scrubbed clean to keep mold and pests in check. The biggest fear I would have over a pot house would be potential fire hazards from makeshift electrical connections.

they can. plus the chemicals saturate the drywall and pose a severe public health hazard to any current or future occupants...worst your going to get from growing weed is perhaps some deadly black mold because some idiot kept the humidity too high in the grow room, but by then your likely to have severe problems with dry-rot and other nasties you don't want when growing...perhaps I've said too much...

In a lot of places, houses that were once meth labs must be condemned and demolished after the makers go to jail/blow up a room. Meth labs are nasty, nasty things.

The real answer is both.
Meth labs, as already stated use a lot of chemicals. Ether, phosphorus, etc are just some of them. The house is basically turned into a lab which looks like a chem lab from an old movie with glass tubes and chemicals everywhere. There was a meth house here a while ago that was so bad the entire block had to be evacuated and the sewers had to be pumped out.
Pot houses can be just as bad though. The standard operation for a pot house is to rent a place, then at night wheelbarrow in several cubic yards of dirt and cover the inside of the house. Of course, all the windows are shut so no one can see/smell inside, and the humidity and temperature are turned way up. They get as much out of the place as they can before it rots from the inside.
In both cases the houses are completely not usable.
Of course, you could have a small meth lab in a basement, or a few plants growing in a closet and all that's needed is a cleanup of the affected area.

man, ppl can be teh retarded.
Meth hmm = heat and chemical and fire and stuff could be explosive.
Main problem with home-grown chemistry is #1 clean glassware and #2 disposing of the by-products.
I was approached outside my college chem labs by a shady looking guy offering to pay me to make a few 'recipes' for his private patent project...one was meth, and the others some other recreational drugs. I passed.
