And probably rightfully so. The Atlantic article did not have any information about anyone having done any research uncovering a "new type of meth" and was basing that conclusion only on the reporter's leading questions to uninformed people.
There seems to be a tendency for reporters to make a fuss about supposedly new, more dangerous versions of common drugs, like the "skunk" hysteria of the 2000's. Probably gets more clicks than just writing about how drug addiction is still a problem just as it has been for thousands of years.
