An American Drug Enforcement Administration special agent says methamphetamine hydrochloride or "ice" remains the leading drug threat in Micronesia.

Dan Holcolm says the prices of "ice" range from $200 to $400 a gram in Hawaii; $350 to $450 a gram in the CNMI, and $500 to $650 a gram in Guam.

He said most "ice" being seized in Micronesia is being produced in superlabs operating in Southeast Asia.
