Yes, a few months ago Oprah had a show about ‘soccer moms’ hooked on meth! Did you see that show? They had at least one regular woman who wasn’t from a drug background and had a good life, that had tried meth and became addicted immediately. IIRC, the show was about one particular Midwestern town that has been almost destroyed by methamphetamine. It seemed like nearly everyone in the town had been affected by it in one way or another. It was very sad, and some of the female addicts appeared to be just like anyone you might see at the PTA or in the grocery store! There was even a grandmother who was caught dealing meth! I don’t know that much about it, but this show made it sound like it is an epidemic in the Midwest!!

I didn't see that show, but the town I live in is really dealing with the situation... we are too close to Mexico and according to our police they don't really make it locally anymore, they import from Mexico -- so the supply is plentiful.

You can spot someone who has been on it after a while, the complexion is horrible, the teeth start to rot... weight slides off...

and violence -- what it does to the brain, people lose all conscience.. this is about the worst thing that has happend in this country, it is destroying too many lives... as bad or worse than crack.

I noticed the earlier comment about women becoming hooked on Meth faster than men.

Meth is devastating. Men going up against an addict better be very careful, as Meth destroys your brain. It can turn a person into a psychopath. Ask my bf. His ex’s addiction cost him his home, his kids, and his good name. His sister paid to have that warthog go through an expensive detox facility. She decided she wanted the house when she was released, obviously not cured. He had already filed for divorce and custody, being fed up with filing missing person reports, her druggie friends trashing the house, stealing everything to buy drugs, etc.

To get the house, she needed custody of the kids. Guess what she accused him of? When they couldn’t force his little girls to admit to something that didn’t happen, warthog got a friend’s(druggie who killed herself and another daughter driving under the influence)13 yr old ho of a daughter to lie. I have absolutely no respect for lawyers and the court system. He blew through 20k trying to defend himself, then when the money ran out, his POS attorney told him to plead no contest. Which the court does not differentiate from a guilty plea.

Oh yeah. The bank got the house, because druggies can’t hold down jobs or pay mortgages. She has custody of the kids and they are a mess. The girls are trainwrecks. The oldest(18)idolizes Marilyn Monroe. She took my son for a nice emotional roller coaster ride.

I believe in legalizing anything the good Lord gave us, but meth cookers need Turkish prison!!!

Sorry about the rant.
