A workplace drug testing company is sounding the alarm, with meth showing up disproportionately in results nationwide.
New data from the Drug Detection Agency finds meth's turned up in a quarter of all results.
It follows the Drug Trends Survey revealing gangs are behind one-in-three sales of methamphetamine across the country.
CEO Glenn Dobson says meth usage makes it harder for employees to do their work - and creates extra risks in the workplace.
"In general terms - it can affect them for about 48-72 hours. The thing with meth is that the user will go so hard and so long based on their lifestyle to stay up and stay active that they have a massive hangover effect afterwards when they come down."
