New meth formula avoids anti-drug laws (but still ruins the environment)

Image
Now drug users are making their own meth in small batches using a faster, cheaper and much simpler method with ingredients that can be carried in a knapsack and mixed on the run. The "shake-and-bake" approach has become popular because it requires a relatively small number of pills of the decongestant pseudoephedrine — an amount easily obtained under even the toughest anti-meth laws that have been adopted across the nation to restrict large purchases of some cold medication.

Dozens of reports describe toxic bottles strewn along highways and rural roads in states with the worst meth problems.

    • hahahah this new meth will end up being like Salvia is to Marijuana compared to old meth.

      People will do it cus it's legal and they don't want to break the law but it will end up being a much stronger and horrifying drug than the one that's illegal.

    • bailey, I'm not trying to argue there too much, but the good ole USA has been filling the lakes and streams with toxic shit for centuries. And truckers piss in plastic bottles and throw their toxic body waste out the window all the time. I hate tweakers none the less. And this is just another sad episode in our failures as a society. That doesn't mean we haven't done some good things too. Keep hoping for something better.

    • A drug attict will get the drug they want no matter the risk. I have seen people all but kill them selves trying to get what they wanted. Now I have to worry about the Punks throwing a chemacal bomb out the window while driveing. what has happen to the Good'Ol U.S. of A.

    • I remember a goofy friend I used to visit out of sympathy rarely (who happened to be really smart but really fucked up) about 15 years ago had a microwave crack or crank recipe. Pot and Opium can grow in your back yard. All it takes is a will I guess. That's why the drug war is a major bust. People will do whatever they want to their own bodies, even if it's gross like tweak! Ugh. Gives me the heebie jeebies.

    • Well if I had it my way people could do what they wanted as long as they understood that if they did anything to violate other people's rights and property rights they would go to jail. Yeah go ahead and use meth I don't care. Wait a second there buddy you just threw that waste on the ground -fine, polluted the ground -fine, and some of the toxic residues hurt someone's dog/child/family -fine. Have fun in jail. Then they should be put to work to pay for their stay in prison. After wards pay for damages, to all affected parties. Isn't that so much better?

      Want to smoke pot, go for it just make sure you don't hurt anyone else (DUI). In a libertarian society we all must forge our own way, we must be allowed to succeed and fail. No one will take care of you like yourself.

    • After seeing a few articles about legalizing drugs (which to some degree I agree with), I'm suddenly hit with the flip side to that argument and it's equally valid. If this recipe get's around we could be seeing another big jump in meth use, at the cost of countless families and the environment. Look out...

      (I don't think we'll ever legalize ALL drugs)

      The little "ephedra plus" pills you could once buy at convenient store were great, quite useful. But since people started making meth with them, a couple of (famous) people misused them before their subsequent deaths, and Big Pharma wanted a monopoly on diet pills; well we can't even have those anymore.

      I'm just discouraged, there is a fine line between having and using your freedoms, and infringing on others. That, and for many people meth is just bad news, and meth users have contributed to people being denied useful supplements.

      Still I want my ephedrine pills and my other freedoms back....
