superlabs
High-capacity research centers
Superlabs are large-scale illegal drug manufacturing facilities, typically producing methamphetamine in quantities far exceeding small-time operations.
The term gained currency through law enforcement and media coverage of the drug trade: The DEA raided a superlab capable of producing fifty pounds a week.
A superlab implies industrial-level production, sophisticated equipment, and often cartel backing.
