Meth has it all: it's addictive, cheap, and easy to produce.

Experts say the drug started to catch on in urban areas in the club and rave scenes and sometimes among particular populations, such as gay men. That's been the case in such cities as Washington, D.C., and Chicago, says Thomas Lyons, a research associate with the Great Cities Institute at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Often, he says, meth use has been associated with increases in sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV.

I can hear it now. It is Bush's fault. If only he had fully funded x. The CIA planted it. Our behavior and choices had nothing to do with it...

Sure - and it's doled out to kids in schools for ADHD, where they pick up the habit of substance abuse. I wonder if anyone's ever done a study on this ?

Meth is even more ravaging to a person than cocaine, and cocaine ain't no picnic.

Meth causes permanent brain changes (as does cocaine, but to a much more profound level). Dopamine emitters are permanently destroyed, making a person more susceptible to Parkinsons Disease and causing lifelong depression, which of course is treatable with SSRI's.

Meth is really hot around this area (not urban), pictures in the local paper almost always have some very bad teeth people being arrested.

If you want to be rich, don't bother making meth ect... peddle the ingredients in mass. You can make a fortune owning a wholesale distribution business and selling on the side.

BTW.. our local wholesale person is due in court next month. He had to sell his new Cadillac to pay a lawyer.
