You get an hour southwest of St. Louis, and you're in the Ozark foothills, lots of forests, small towns, and it's a HUGE problem. I think rural Missouri must be the worst place in the country for meth labs.
I have a modest proposal: the DEATH PENALTY for anyone producing significant quantities of methamphetamine.
Need to have the same regulations for meth that they used to have for crack otherwise this is going reap the same whirlwind.
The use of this stuff has reached epidemic proportions in California.
Rights, farms, environment ping.
Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from this list.
I don't get offended if you want to be removed.
Tacoma WA would give rural MO a run for the money. Even up here on Whidbey Is. the problem isn't insignificant.
Ah, another benefit of our "open-borders" policy
Sickening.
*starts setting up shot after shot of Robitussin*
Meth users generally destroy the whole family due to credit theft, stealing and high bail costs.
YOU betcha!!
DEATH for any quantity which can intoxicate 10 or more persons. Then this will stop cold.
Most drugs don't originate in this country to begin with so yes this is a borders issue.
For some reason it's a club drug among the gay men in the Village. I've seen the posters on bus stands whenever I go there. Also, out at Stony Brook, some girls take it to lose weight. If they only see what some women look like after taking meth :( I know of one girl who has all sorts of neurological disorders,etc. because of a former meth addiction. It's a SICKENING drug.
Yeah, gotta close that California border soon!
Death penalty? When the average murderer in the USA only serves 14 years?
We've had the death penalty for years... over a decade... for "drug kingpins". As you can see, it didn't work.
Read a article the other day that stated that of all the addictive drugs....that meth was the "one" that had a extremely low rehab rate......something like only 5% of users can kick it, even with proper rehab and medical. They said that users just can't get off the crap........
With that kind of addictive record of pretty much permanent self destruction one would think this problem would solve it'self eventually.....dang.
Battery Acid! Ooo Ooo I wanna ingest some!
I can't believe people sometimes.
