Believe it's always been this way. We still joke, which, is really not a joke, we could go back to the same places growing up and people smoking pot and using crank, would still be doing the same and you could score just as easy. Kind of like the people hanging out in bars all the time when young, are now the ones holding down the barstools. Could show you many "white trash" trailer parks in California, even Idaho................


Life is what one makes it!! If one sits and waits for the government to hold to their promises, then your path will be drugs and welfare. You don't get ahead by doing nothing

It's the job of these parents to encourage a better life. Don't be held down by a check in the mail.............

Just saying that weed & speed have been around for along time and it's always been easier to get illegal drugs.

I believe the OP thread was titled "Ain't just us crackas" that's where the trailer trash came in. Was already attacked for picking on just NA.

I agree. These drugs, no matter how hideous, have been around forever. "Meth" is a new term for amphetamines. It used to be called Speed along with a few other terms. Same thing with a different name. What the folks screaming for laws don't get is that once something is banned, it becomes a black market, or "underground economy" item and no longer subject to ID checks or any sort of safety regulation. That's why meth labs are always exploding.

It's really kind of funny actually. People have been using speed and screwing up their lives for generations but ever since the war on drugs made a new name for the evil that justifies it's existence, it's somehow different. I wonder how many people who are horrified by this evil meth even realize it's the same crap they used to steal out their mother's purse to stay awake during exams?
