No argument there. I didn't say ban it, but it just goes to show what some people will do to catch a buzz. Legalize pot, and you may not have people screwing around with much more dangerous substances legal or otherwise, or huffing household products. At any rate, you can't fix stupid.
The legalize movement has been slowly gaining traction as more reasoned voices continue to make the case.
Used to be wayyyy too many vocal semi-coherent crackpots as the face of legalize which wasn't ever going to get the topic to the mainstream.
Granite Falls, WA, a very small town 40 miles north of Seattle, was said to be the meth capital of the US a few years back. In 2011, WA enacted a law that Sudafed & other meds used to make meth had to kept behind the counter, and ID's of purchasers were logged.
Where is the outrage from the "white xtian" conservatives???
Meth doesn't fit their image for a "Norman Rockwell/Leave it to Beaver" America, yet they say nothing.
I imagine they'll speak up about it right around the time that black people start having "a serious conversation" about the black on black murder rate.
It's happening in Tennessee too. The two new "jobs" in rural areas are cooking meth and folks selling their prescription pain killers they get at the pain clinics.
I don't see any Bill Gates or rocket scientists getting addicted to this stuff. It is usually people that don't matter anyway.
Addiction is a disease, and it truly is sad to see what happens to these people that get hooked on it. I don't place the value of another person's life on how much they make, as I know of just as many rich folks as poor folks who are of poor character. I tend to judge case by case, and by the individual. But, again if people are dumb enough to want to mess with meth, then they are asking for what could be a death sentence.

definitely one of the evilest drugs to ever leave a chemist lab.. looks like making it illegal to do meth only increases the problem,, make it legal in a drug park setting and let em kill themselves without killing and robbing others to get their meth...

People who do those kinds of drugs don't like pot. They like uppers and legalizing pot won't miraculously make speed heads pot heads. They can already get pot much easier than anything else.

This argument is so off base. When you make something legal it doesn't all of a sudden become free. If it's legal, crime will go up, not down, addicts will STAY addicts and rob people for the money to get it.
