Reply #37: Meth is bad for you - that is a given [View All]

But making it a banned substance - especially since it is so easy to create in a lab - is a dumb dumb idea.

Lots of dangerous substances are illegal, many which are more dangerous than meth. Want something that will give you amazing kicks? Try huffing glue. That's just as easy to buy as a bottle of Thunderbird.

If you want to stop a problem, you have to find out why first. Going after users and pushers is merely pruning the drug problem. Do so and it comes back even stronger. Look for the roots and fix the problem there and you might have a chance.

Even still, if people want to get bombed, they will find a way to do so.
