Easier said than done, assuming both parents work full time. Who your kids hang out with and other factors cancel out parent’s influence pretty easily IMO.
Damn meth is crazy! Why the hell do people do this to themselves?! Everyone knows what it can do…
That’s horrible. I couldn’t even imagine getting that phone call, don’t want to either. That’s gotta be a nightmare.
Meth is real bad here in the Midwest, always has been. It’s kinda sad to say this but meth heads are such a common sight around here that it’s become normal. You need to be careful if you live in an area populated with these “people” however. They’re extremely dangerous and usually dilusional. I keep my HD rifle or my mossberg out at night around here…
The chick graduated in 1978, besides the teeth I doubt she would look much better off meth. I have seen 50 year old chicks that looked worse that dont even drink.
I work overnights at a 24 hour pharmacy, I see tweakers all night long. If I am in a good mood I will just tell them I called LEO and watch them scramble out of the parking lot, If I am in a bad mood I will actually call. I love filling my lot up with cruisers and K9 units.
That shit got one of my uncles pretty bad. I don’t even know who the guy is anymore.
So they come in and try and buy sudafed or some equivalent?
Yep. They will come in by the carload from Arkansas (I am just across the state line in TN). Tweakers aren’t hard to spot and when you have 4 or 5 in one vehicle coming in 1 at a time buying PSE products it isn’t rocket science as to what is going on.
I hate tweakers.
Meth is like moonshine during prohibition.
IMO, cooking meth or crack for distribution should be punishable by the slowest and most painful torture imaginable, and when they quit suffering take them out and put a bullet in their brain and feed their body to the sharks. JM2CW
Supply & demand. Nobody’s forcing them to take it. I agree it’s stupid and I don’t chose to use the stuff myself but if somebody wants to destroy themselves have at it.
During my career I worked drug enforcement for 10 years. Of those 10 years, 5 was assigned to the Drug Enforcement Administrations, Clandestine Laboratory Enforcement Team. I was able to see first hand what Methamphetamine can do. I was taught how to cook Meth so that I could assume the role as a “Cooker”. I had my own glassware and heating mantels. Very dangerous drug.
What is the easiest way to distract a tweaker?
Just show them some shiny shit, like a cd, or tinfoil. It will keep them busy for hours. They are kind of like crows or magpies steal and horde anything shiny.
Hate them, absolutely hate them, especially when called out for a domestic and both parents are “geared up” and the kids haven’t eaten in days and are wearing the same dirty clothes or unchanged diapers. Makes me want to double tap them both.
No sympathy here at all for stupid people. The only thing inhate about meth is that it doesn’t kill fast enough. If you’re stupid enough to get involved with it tough shit for you. Darwinism is a bitch, but do we really need to protect stupid people from killing themselves?? As far as I’m concerned the faster they die the better off the rest of us are.
I see your point, but thats pretty hardcore.
Totally agree, time to thin the herd. Let them die off. I am more than happy to help in this endeavor. How should I start my letter…
Dear Congressman…

People like to go on and on about what precisely leads people to do shit like this… at the end of the day, there are just some people who decide that the most important thing in life is to get shitfaced.
I’m not talking about people who like to enjoy a fine drink or cigar from time to time, or even people who use or abuse drugs for specific reasons like performance, alertness, etc.
I’m talking the sort of people who go to excess every time… be it pounding down a dozen beers 7 nights a week, smoking weed to the point of stupefaction, or smoking 2-3 packs a day. They get caught in the feedback loop where the only thing that makes them feel less shitty is doing it all over again.
There is one thing though… some of these things, people can do responsibly. People can enjoy a drink or a smoke without going all bugshit crazy. But some of these substances are just going to fuck you up, period. Comparing meth to moonshine is flawed.
Ultimately I can’t see any solution with the technology we have. Maybe some day they can just implant something at birth that makes stuff like this do nothing. A vaccine for meth.
Supply & demand. You curtail the amount of cocaine coming into the country through the multi-billion dollar failure known as the “Drug War” and people will come up with a cheaper, easier to manufacture, stronger substitute that doesn’t have to be imported.
Prohibition was proven to be a failure and the “War on Drugs” hasn’t been a success in any legitimate since of the word. At least Congress actually passed the 18th Amendment in 1920 to restrict people’s rights to ingest what they wanted into their own bodies.
In Mississippi, there is a law that if you are found to be cooking meth within 30 ft of a child, you’re looking at 30 years.
TWEAKERS…Just another reason to put rounds downrange!
Wow… Words fail me…
heh? so we should just legalize everything, combat nothing, and allow people to do whatever they wish?
