I hope things can get better.<BR/><BR/>And Justin, legalizing meth is one of the dumbest ideas I've ever heard. Most people who do it are IMMEDIATELY addicted. And most people don't have the will power to stop. That's why you have the situation in Montana that there is. Legalizing it isn't the answer.Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11540149196113374329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6821288.post-2604493480087534452007-03-29T15:31:00.000-04:002007-03-29T15:31:00.000-04:00Those hit really close to home.

But yeah, hopefully somewhere there is at least one kid or two who will see those and remember them and think twice before ever starting down that path.Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06737140275571452756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6821288.post-53753415894062304122007-03-29T11:30:00.000-04:002007-03-29T11:30:00.000-04:00I know a couple of people who have done it, just o...I know a couple of people who have done it, just once. Luckily, they were some of the few that have the will power not to do something like that again... but they said, its literally the best feeling they've felt in their entire life. Its understandable why people would start, because what happens in those commercials, is a year or two down the line. Initially, it has many of the same effects as ADD meds do... you can focus on anything, you lose weight, you are completely happy, and have tons of energy. Thing is, that doesn't last long.<BR/><BR/>As a quasi libertarian, I wonder though, whether banning it is actually helping the problem. Banning it makes it more profitable, and its not something you can stop through law enforcement, because everything you need to make it can be bought at wal mart or similar stores. <BR/><BR/>I think the best way to counteract this threat to humanity is ads like these, or the ones that show actual meth users before and after.mundiejchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17029540431840334762noreply@blogger.com
