Press reports claim that meth has ruined many college towns out West as more and more young students are hooked on the stuff and turn to crime to buy more. Montana has had a severe problem trying to cope with the effects of this drug, but the city authorities and cops are losing the battle.

For some Freepers, it appears that they believe meth, coke and marijuana are not a problem. The libertarians out there insist that no laws should be made or enforced to control drugs. I wonder what their opinion might be if their son or daughter turned up hooked on meth, hmmm?

Unless you have seen the result of such drugs on kid's minds, then you cannot appreciate how bad the effect can be. I visited a big mental health facility in California that had buildings full of young people who had permanently fried their brains with meth, coke and other damaging drugs. Most were there as veggies until they die, with no hope of cure. They were free to choose. They did and are now wards of the State. What a waste!

You are so right about that meth and cocaine. It can and does do enormous damage to human beings. It is very cold-hearted people who advocate that these things be legal.
