I logged onto MSN this afternoon and saw a thing about Methampetamine. Here is the link about it: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8770112/site/newsweek

I think the government should quit trying to get Marijuanna off the streets, and go after this vile :poo:.

What are your views?

If only the government really cared about us...

They have been going after it though, a few weeks ago the news said that because certain overthecounter drugs are now only available by perscription, the number of meth labs in the average city has gone down a great deal.

But maybe that only applied to Oklahoma, where I live.

A hotel down the street from where I live got busted for a huge meth lab in the basement.
The place is smelly.

Everything should be legalized. If people f*ck themselves up with something, then it's their fault.

Are you retarded? Do you know how addictive Methamphetamine is?!

Put some thought behind your arguments, or don't even post at all.

Isn't Meth the crap that if you do enough of you'll get a hole through your brain?

ADDITION:
Kellimus, don't call him a retard. That's a flame. -__-

That is Ecstacy, I think. But yes. It will rott your brian (Most man-made drugs do)

It will only rot your brain if you do consistantly for a long period of time. And I mean a long time. And lots everytime. But if you do it, then let the tissue heal it self, then do it again, you'll be alright. And Kell, meth is one of the most sought after drugs that the govt. is going after. Especially in smaller cities and towns where it's taking over. Such as my town. It first came up from Minneapolis and St. Paul to the smaller cities and towns. My sister is a REA and she had to do a meth lab class. They tell her that one of every 85 houses in one of the cities near by is a meth lab. And it's a city of 71,000 people. But that's just the average.

Oh, I thought you were talking about the stuff they put in bootleg liquor (methanol) to give it more of a kick (it also kills you).

Does Methamphetamine = 'Speed?'

All man-made drugs do. Take them in ultra-high doses and report back in a while

Here we go. Everything you need to know on it.

Ok, so it's crystalline speed. I was kind of right.

Meth will mess you up. But one drug I love though.. Infact, overdosing on it rocks your balls, is Epinephrine. That shiet is off the wall. I suggest everyone try it sometime.

Hahaha, everyone knows how much that sh*t will f*ck you up. Whether it makes you addicted or whether it kills you on the first try, it's all fine my me.

Eh, I agree with ihatett on this one. If the US government just legalized it millions of idiots would die. We need that because we've been stopping natural selection for a while now. As a hater of humanity's avoidance of the laws of nature we need to legalize suicide pills too.[/noimnotbeingsarcastic]

But do you know what your country would turn out to be? Think Turkey. Or Uzebekistan or Kazakstan or any stan.

The government hasn't tried cleaning Meth up here. Preston loves the Meth because that's how they make all their money now days.



If we legalize Methamphetamines, it will work it's way into our drinks, and food, and then everyone will be addicted! Do you not see how dangerous it is!?!?!?

No. That is not why those countries are sh*tty.

I have a friend who has tried all sorts of drugs. He says this is by far the most addictive, and at the same time its the worst. Plus is the drug of choice for all trailer trash - considering any one can have a meth lab in the trunk of his car.

I believe marijuana is harmless compared to meth, and instead of the government going after petty pot dealers (the guys who make less than a few hundred on marijuana alone), they should go after the bigger fish. It's no wonder that our jails are overcrowded with the way things are going.

I'm not saying that's why those countries are the way that they are. I'm saying if we legalized drugs like that, it wont make the world better because people will try it and not like it. So everyone would stop. It would get worse and then it would suck.

I agree. They should shift their priorities. They say Marijuanna is a gateway drug, so that is the reason they are going after that one heavily. But I wanted to try Mushrooms (The only other drug I have done that doesn't have Marijuanna in it) before I ever did Marijuanna so I think that's a petty excuse...

who ever made up this " gateway" drug thing.....should rot in hell. honestly, it is not the gateway. that would belong to ciggerets. they start it all off.......its true.

Legalisation of currently illicit drugs could be a bad thing or a good thing, but would probably be a mixture of both.

Good outcomes:
- Drug industry becomes regulated - less deaths due to drugs being cut with toxic materials.
- Black market in drugs collapses, leading to less violent crime related to supply of drugs.

Bad outcomes:
- Many more people become addicted to drugs, which causes decrease in the efficiency of the workforce.
- Hospitals and clinics could become crowded out with addicts.
- Increase in shoplifting (due to penniless addicts stealing drugs from stores).

On an unrelated note - legalisation and government regulation of prostitution is a better idea than legalisation of drugs.

Also, they say that Meth is one of the most dangerously addictive drugs, yet it has less severe withdrawal symptoms than alcohol. Strange that.

Everything you ever wanted to know about methamphetamine!

Stay away from that :poo:.

Not everyone. Thats why there is a large number of drug awareness programs out today, to get everyone to know how this :poo: can you up. And it's working, for the most part, but there is still a part of every population that for some reason stay isolated from this information or are lied to about the drug to take it.

Kell, when you compare what the government does about drugs like meth compared to marijuana ... they're basically 'discouraging' use of marijuana. The government and local authorities try to target the more harmful and profitable drugs over marijuana. Since marijuana is more widespread and easy to produce it makes it 10x harder to go after but since it's not as harmful they dont go after it as much.
