"What brought you to that location?"
"My pickup"
"Why would your pickup go to that location?"
"I don't know"

*stopped watching pretty early*

wow, such obvious propaganda.

I love how they always love to show the bad teeth and such, which only comes to idiots that (*shudder*) don't brush their teeth. It sure makes for a scary picture, though.

Can anybody who could actually stomach watching this idiotic scare-mongering tell me if they ever mention that methamphetamine is still sold to kids under the brand-name "desoxin"? That the "most dangerous drug" is FDA approved?

try republicanism

funny you mention that... I had a "friend" (term used very loosely) in college who was by far the most irresponsible drug user I've ever known. He invited a few of us to these Republican "rally" things, and the parties after had the most coke, liquor, pills, etc, than I've ever seen.

Like... "hey, I've been up for days on coke! Is that LSD? Lets go eat a 10-strip!"

/frightening

conde, you are seriously trying to say that the messages of meth being highly addictive, damaging and that they screw up communities is bollox? As for the desoxin comment, thats like saying we should allow morphine on the streets because its used in hospitals...

basically, yes, though it's a matter of perspective.

People seem to forget that by FAR the most dangerous and abused drug is alcohol. It does all of the bad things they claim that "hard drugs" do, and yet we ignore it all the time.

Yes, there are idiots our there that abuse amphetamines, just as there are idiots that abuse anything. As for screwing up communities, like most of the War On (some) Drugs, most of the problem is the fact that it's illegal and gangs/etc get involved.

Is it "addictive"? Yes, but no more than many other things people use all the time. Is it damaging if you abuse it? Yes, but so is everything else. I think it may surprise you how many people use such drugs - they are all around you, yet you don't see it because they are not idiots about it.

As for desoxin, my point was it's not "The Worlds most dangerous drug", as it's used therapeutically with a long history. It's nowhere close. Don't believe the propaganda. In the 80s it was "crack", now it's "meth". The name has changed, but the propaganda is the same.

/and by the way, morphine should be sold easily, for much the same reasons. Making it unregulated like it is now just forces it to the dangerous black market, and doesn't stop it's use.

drug addiction is a largely biological process, often kicked off by people trying to manage overwhelming feelings. idiocy doesn't really come into it, and you're pushing a kind of propaganda yourself. congratulations to all of the "successful" drug users out there, who have lucked out in the genetic lottery that is the propensity for addiction.
