Meth is only psychologically addictive...
And most of your other points apply to many hard drugs. You don't know what's in it? That's why it should be legalized.

How much of this objection you're stating is based on drug war propaganda?
Think about that for a second, then respond.
I've never heard anything bad about meth from any antidrug things (probably because I never listen). All I know is I have never met someone who has quit quit meth who recommended it to me and I have seen it take a few people who started getting "productive" and turned them into tweakers. Thats what meth is known for because thats what it usually does. I guess meth works for some people; thats great but I was just giving a fair warning because it can fuck ya fast.

Meth destroys populations. I know, I am witnessing it right now. It's everywhere around here. I hate it and wish it would dissapear. Cranksters are very weird people, but can seem like a normal person to someone that has no idea. It's very possible someone you know is doing it and you have no fucking clue. I would never in my wildest dreams touch that shit with a ten foot pole. I couldnt believe anyone would condone it, especially a mod here. :horrible:
excuse me if it seems as though I am complaining, but Meth=The root of ALL Evil.

lol. Its bad. It's because they are high when they seem normal. Find a crankster that hasnt had any lately, they will be sleeping, or fiening bad. I know about a dozen people that do meth. I knew nothing about this drug untill I moved here in Florida. IOh well, i'm not gonna sit here and beat a dead horse, the shit is bad news, and thats all I will say on the matter.

Yep, meth is pretty much bad news. But making the OTC cold medicines unavailable or at least harder to obtain won't do diddly squat. They'll just find out another way to make it sans cold pills.....

Think about it, you dont how they made, what they used , be it drano, anhydrous or other toxic chemicals.
Alright, my BS meter is off the scale.
Drano = sodium hydroxide. It's used to make 'acceptable' drugs like Ecstasy too. And many pharmaceutical drugs are synthesized with sodium hydroxide somewhere along the synthetic route.
Anhydrous = contains no water. This isn't dangerous even though the word sounds scary.
If your only ammunition against a drug is regurgitating scary sounding words like 'drano' and 'anhydrous' from the anti-drug lobby, then maybe you should take another look at your argument.
Meth is highly addicting
Only psychologically, not physically, just like Ecstasy. From this point of view opiates are worse because they will hook you psychologically and physically.
I don't recommend anyone get into meth, but don't base your decision on made up facts from the DARE web site. Look up the real risks and weigh the benefits, then make an informed decision.
Meth is a very serious drug; but the truth is scary enough without making shit up to confuse the issue. That's the government's job.
I guess meth works for some people; thats great but I was just giving a fair warning because it can fuck ya fast.
Good advice! Stay away from meth unless you've considered the cost/benefit ratio intelligently and are prepared for the possible consequences.

Here. Read. http://www.disinfo.com/archive/pages/dossier/id1950/pg1/
If meth destroys populations, than where are all the addicts from the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who were forced to take it?
This is what we have to face, in my opinion: A country full of potential addicts.
We smoke ciggarettes. We drink a shitload. If something illegal that has addictive qualities comes along, we dive headfirst into it. It's not the drug that has any effect on the population. It's the fucking population.
One of the main differences between the entire history of soldiery that has taken (meth)amphetamines and the current general population of the U.S. is simple: Discipline. They had it, the current population doesn't.
IT ISN'T THE DRUG. IT'S THE USER.
In fact, you can view the entire source of any drug problem (mostly restricted to the so called "hard" drugs) as one of lack of control and lack of a societal safety net. Military use had a pre-conditioned discipline prior to stimulant use. The military had a whole society that did not condone addictive behaviour.
Seems that it worked pretty well to me.
