I commented in the other one but it might not have gotten seen. Get a meth residue test kit. They're sold on amazon. It could be that it's not the neighbors but your own home. It could be that the smell comes and goes with subtle changes in temperature, humidity, sunlight coming in windows or curtains drawn etc. Get a notebook that is only used for logging the day/time you smell something. Take note of what the smell smells like to you. Take note of how long the smell lasts. Take note of anything else that happened when the smell started or stopped. Did you take a shower? Flush a toilet? Turn the stove on or off? Use the faucet? Run laundry? Start or finish a meal? It might be tedious but it will show you a pattern. Also, go over to r/homeimprovement to cross post.

Meth doesn't get made in Baltimore. I can promise you that it is EXTREMELY rare. It just doesn't sell here or in the surrounding areas.

Are you an officer? No I don't get down there alot but I've been a first responder in Baltimore for 17 years and never once had a patient with meth or walked into a meth lab environment that we are trained on. If im wrong I'm wrong but I've never seen it

I was warned about tweaked a by the folks at Housewerks like 15 years ago, I think they drove us to the light rail because they were so problematic. I’m not saying they cook there but I do believe there are users there, not far from homeless areas also.

Possibly emphatamines or coccaine but actual meth use is almost unheard of in Baltimore. Im sure it exists in single cases or from out of towners but is really rare.

My understanding is that meth is indeed not common here. But it could be a clandestine lab of any kind. Fentanyl even. Don't know anything about what other drugs smell like cooking up. Like I said I'm from the Meth Belt lol.

Oh for sure it could be any number of things i agree. But highly unlikely is meth.
