Over a Ton of Methamphetamine Seized in Major Northern California Drug Bust A recent operation in Northern California led to one of the largest domestic drug seizures in U.S. history, uncovering over a ton of methamphetamine. The operation, dubbed 'Operation Trash Panda,' took place on February 27, 2026, and was executed by the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office and the Calaveras County Sheriff’s Office, with over 100 law enforcement agents involved. Authorities discovered three key locations connected to the methamphetamine trade. The first site was an active meth lab, the second contained the equipment for manufacturing but was not yet operational, and the third was a storage and distribution center for illicit drugs. In total, law enforcement agents seized over 2,700 pounds of methamphetamine, worth approximately $4 million. They also recovered 1,900 marijuana plants and over 100 pounds of processed marijuana. The investigation, which began last October, was triggered after authorities found byproducts from illegal drug labs in an illegal dumping site in Calaveras County. The operation was supported by several agencies, including the FBI and Homeland Security Investigations, and resulted in eight arrests. The bust is a significant disruption to a large drug trafficking organization in Northern California.

Individual Variability in Physiological Responses and Psychological Conditions Associated With Methamphetamine Use: Pilot Ecological Momentary Assessment Study Using a Wearable Device and Self-Monitoring Mobile App Background: Digital mental health approaches offer a novel means to monitor and reduce harms associated with substance use in daily life. However, limited evidence exists on their application for methamphetamine (MAMP) use, particularly regarding individual variability in physiological responses and psychological conditions. Objective: This pilot study aimed to explore inter- and intraindividual differences in craving, emotion, and heart rate associated with MAMP use, using data collected from a wearable device (Fitbit) and a mobile-based self-monitoring app. Methods: Participants were individuals with MAMP use disorder receiving outpatient treatment in Japan. The analysis included 7 participants who used MAMP during an 8-week observation period. Physiological data, including heart rate and sleep patterns, were collected using Fitbit devices, while daily self-reported MAMP use, craving intensity, and emotional status were recorded via a mobile app. After syncing the data, we visualized and summarized individual MAMP use patterns in detail. Correlations between physiological and psychological indicators and the frequency of MAMP use per day were analyzed. In addition, heart rate trends before and after MAMP use events were evaluated using a linear mixed effects model, and both interindividual variability and intraindividual variability were assessed. Results: Patterns of MAMP use varied widely across participants, with it most commonly occurring in the morning or at night, regardless of the day of the week. Craving and negative emotions were frequently reported on MAMP use days and were positively correlated with the number of MAMP use episodes per day. Participants who used MAMP more frequently exhibited relatively higher resting heart rates. Following MAMP use, heart rate increased significantly and remained elevated for up to 9 hours. Sleep duration and frequency were reduced or absent on MAMP use days. Approximately 64% of the variance in heart rate was attributable to interindividual differences, while 12% reflected variability across events within the same individual. Conclusions: This pilot study demonstrates the #feasibility and value of using digital tools to examine physiological responses and psychological conditions associated with MAMP use in real-world settings. Persistent cardiovascular activation and disrupted sleep highlight the potential risks of long-term MAMP use. Individual differences in heart rate responses, craving, and emotional states underscore the importance of personalized intervention strategies. Integrating real-time self-monitoring, notifications for elevated heart rate, and online cognitive behavioral therapy into digital therapeutic interventions may improve health outcomes for individuals with MAMP use disorder.

Drug smuggling syndicate using choppers busted, seizure reaches RM12.6 million SELANGOR: Police cracked down on drug smuggling activities to neighbouring countries using pirate boats around Selangor waters and seized drugs worth RM12.6 million, on February 12. The Op Tapis by the Bukit Aman Narcotics Criminal Investigation Department (JSJN) led to the arrest of three Indonesian citizens, including a woman. JSJN director Datuk Hussein Omar Khan said the suspects, aged between 26 and 53, were arrested in two separate raids around Sekinchan. In the first raid at a house in Kampung Sungai Leman, police found three plastic packages believed to contain methamphetamine weighing 11.36 grams. The second raid targeted an unnumbered […]

Smartphone-Based Contingency Management for Patients Who Use Methamphetamine: Qualitative Analysis of Patient and Clinician Perspectives Background: Methamphetamine use disorder is a growing public health crisis with limited access to effective treatment. Contingency management (CM) has demonstrated efficacy for stimulant use disorders, but is typically delivered in person. Smartphone-based CM may overcome barriers such as limited access, but its effectiveness and real-world application remain understudied. This study explores patient and clinician experiences with a fully remote, smartphone-based CM intervention for methamphetamine use. Objective: This exploratory, descriptive qualitative study analyzes interviews with patients and clinicians involved in a previously published single-arm trial in which smartphone-based CM was offered to individuals using methamphetamine through primary care or specialty addiction treatment clinics within a large health system. The study aims to identify and describe key facilitators, barriers, and perspectives related to engagement of both groups with the intervention, providing actionable insights to inform optimization and implementation of digital CM in health care settings. Methods: We conducted a qualitative analysis of semistructured interviews with 14 patients and 14 clinicians from a prior pilot study of a fully remote, smartphone-based CM intervention for methamphetamine use. Interviews were analyzed using grounded theory in a 5-step process: transcript review, codebook development, coding, thematic reduction, and generation of overarching themes. The analysis focused on a priori themes related to facilitators, barriers, and suggestions for improvement. Results: Patients and clinicians identified many benefits, viewing the program as valuable for individuals using methamphetamine. Patients appreciated the flexibility, accessibility, and motivational incentives. Clinicians saw CM as a low-risk, evidence-based strategy that could enhance engagement, especially among patients less responsive to traditional approaches. Common challenges included technological issues such as problems with video-based testing, app navigation, and internet access. Patients had mixed views about educational modules and described difficulty with correct substance test procedures and a lack of human connection. Clinicians expressed concerns for patients with significant psychosocial instability. Differences emerged in the types of concerns raised: patients focused on day-to-day engagement, while clinicians emphasized broader themes of equity, sustainability, and a preference for models rewarding improvement even without full abstinence. Conclusions: Smartphone-based CM shows promise for addressing methamphetamine use disorder, especially in settings lacking traditional treatment access. However, optimizing implementation requires addressing challenges related to technology, accessibility, and equity. Recommendations include integrating CM with clinical infrastructure, expanding rewardable behaviors beyond abstinence, enhancing user experience, and improving technological access. Future research should explore flexible models that incorporate broader recovery goals and strengthen both technical and human support.

Methamphetamine increases motivation through brain processes separate from euphoria New evidence indicates that methamphetamine makes difficult tasks feel less burdensome, especially for naturally less motivated people. This change in behavior happens independently of the pleasurable high that the drug often produces.
