(The New) Faces of Meth
- Thread starter chris snell

I can't fathom the idea that at some point a person would think, "Hey! I know! Let's try meth. That'll be awesome!!"
Cost (believe it or not) and effectiveness. It's so much easier to sweep it under the rug and "purge society" of it's problems than to fix it. But it goes so much deeper than that as well, the war on drugs, the industry of import/smuggling, etc... all that is pulled out into the open public forum and displayed as "you're so evil you want to close off access for immigrants".
Meth is gatewayed in by lesser things. As much as people don't want to accpet it, it's when they're at a party and things are going crazy, that's a gateway that a local dealer will pull it out and the peer pressure will push one into 'just a try'... it's so addictive that there is no going back, ever. They are constantly looking over their shoulder at the shadow of meth following them for the rest of their lives.

This whole logic about Gateway drugs is the dumbest thing that has every been created.
That is like saying Porn is a gateway to rape
or
Target practice is a gateway to mass killings
or
AT tires are gateway to a 4"lift..... okay that one is true
If you are really worried about gateway drugs, then why not ban Tobacco or Alcohol.

Poor man's cocaine and I went to a rich boy's college.
OTOh, Adderall has been an incredibly positive life-changing drug for me.
Autism be damned!

Write it off before it tanks any further. You need a CRV, bro.
I feel blessed to have had hobbies while I grew up. CT is not a state to let boredom get the best of you.
IMO it's the illegality of drugs that gave us the huge meth problem.
When it's harder to grow pot, poppies, etc in the states it's logical that if people find a way to have a profitable business in their kitchens they will do it.
Add that to the fact that we're more likely to lock people up than treat them and there's little incentive to even try to get help.

So you're saying that if pot were legal, we'd see a decrease in meth? Somehow I don't see the logic, but I guess we'll see in WA and CO if the Feds don't go after them.
Meth use in hawaii skyrocketed after they implemented the "Green Harvest" MJ eradication program.

Can someone please explain why we throw drug addicts in to jail for petty crime instead of Rehab?<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comffice
From my experience rehab has a low effective rate. Once someone has a serious problem it is near impossible to cure them. You can disagree or say I'm wrong, but I am speaking from my experience in law enforcement with drug offenders. I deal mainly with crack, meth, and bath salts.
Rehab is like an achievement for a real head. They get to network with other heads, sit through hours of group therapy where they hear awesome tales of drug fueled antics, basically a graduate program for the self destructive chemical dependent.
People who crave a high to survive WILL find something. Booze doesn't work for everyone, and if these folks had something easy to get that kept them mellow and hungry... I say if pot were legal, we would see a decrease in snacks. Hostess probably wouldn't be going out of business would they?
