They had a big banner on their page complete with a link to the Meth is Death website.

Your complaint is that the DEA have a site with a banner ad linking to another site belonging to someone else who have a quote containing language you've already interpreted two different ways?

Pretty thin straw. And it gets even thinner.

The quote on the banner ad actually says:

95% of those who try Meth "just one time" get hooked for life.

Beam. Mote.

"If an addict is someone who has used a drug in the previous month (a commonly used, if overly broad, definition), then only 5 percent of Americans who have sampled meth would be called addicts, according to the federal government's National Survey on Drug Use and Health.

"That figure is slightly higher than the addiction rate for people who have sampled heroin (3 percent), but it's lower than for crack (8 percent), painkillers (10 percent), marijuana (15 percent) or cigarettes (37 percent)..."

Thin straw? I can't believe you are actually making this argument. Blasted across the DEA webpage it says, "One Time, You're Hooked... 95% of those who try Meth 'just one time' get hooked for life." This is an absolutely false statement. The DEA has a giant banner on its webpage with a lie on it. And you have the nerve to keep arguing with me over ticky little points? Go away, newbie. Go bother someone else with your silliness.
