Meth is some extremely bad stuff. I heard of a fellow in Georgia who had been up for about a week on meth. He was driving with his girlfriend, with the daughter in the back seat. He reached down for his revolver and blew her brains onto the passenger-side window, in front of the daughter.

He had become paranoid that she was 'out to get him'.

He's up for a death-penalty murder case right now.

I know a guy here that shot up his $350,000+ house, after a weeklong binge. Wasn't a piece of glass left.

Thank the Lord no one was hurt.

I have a friend of many years who was a heavy meth user. The drug virtually destroyed his brain and nervous system. Eventually, he got involved with a strong willed woman who got him to stop, but the damage was too profound to ever recover from. For as long as he lives (which won't be much longer), the taxpayers will be paying for his upkeep and care. Anyone who would claim that meth is a harmless recreational drug, to be equated with pot, or is OK because "doctors prescribe it", is full of ****.

Meth is different.... I agree. Glad it is not among the things around when I was open to that kind of experimentation. I think it is uniquely destructive. While many may use and a few will fall down from other drugs, I think Meth's track record for destroying people is MUCH more profound.

From a law enforcement perspective, other drugs are hard to control. Anything that can be made from stuff found at any home is impossible to control.

The garbage left over from mobile labs is shutting down access to public forests here.

I don't have any answers.
