Any members have a large issue with this in your town or state?. I am told the county where in has huge epidemic. What has me questioning that being knowing pretty much zero about the stuff. For the very small rual town it is. A very large amount of the population here is grossley obease. ( Not me a few extra lbs but managable).With such an epdicmic would you not expect the population to at lower weight levels.Again not well versed on Meth but I assume its an "Upper " Ps sorry Moderators this should have be in Lounge section

The state itself probably does but as for counties nothing around here. Seems to be a rural problem.

There have been a two or three meth labs busted over the years within a 20 mile radius but all those were more entrepreneurs than users. You know, attempting to start their own home base business.

If you see an anhydrous ammonia tanker parked outside your neighbors house with hoses running into the house, probably should give the sheriff a call.
 
When I was workin meth labs and hazmat cleanup of same...


Had enough of them catch fire that all the vol fireman carried sidearms.


I lodged this one cat for manufacturing meth, it was his sixth arrest
and he hadn't been to court for the first arrest.


Meth, oxycontin, hydros, and a bunch of weed.....We got it all.

Sitting in circut court today.If their problem is not meth it's heroin or oxy pills.Quite often it's all plus weed.What is a real shame is so many of the females are pregnant.A lot of damaged babies in the special needs units in hospitals in this part of the county.
 
It's all opioids up here in the northeast, and it's a MAJOR epidemic. Hell, 2 local OD deaths last night. Knew the first name and face of one of them. Some of my kitchen staff knew the other, or both. I'm an executive chef and it's rampant in this labor force. Have had 3 former employees die in last 5 years. Everyone knows someone who has. It's completely out of control. People dropping like flies. I have 2 GOOD employees on prescribed treatment meds for the addiction in my kitchen right now! They start with experimentation with oxy's, get hooked quick, move up to heroin, get some heroin cut with fetynol, OD, die. It's a death sentence.

Most everybody has enacted laws restricting pseudoephedrine purchases to the point of forcing out the average home chemist. We're back to where we were in the early 90's, with most meth coming from large labs in Mexico via the cartels . . .

It, meth, sometimes comes north as meth oil, (ready to be salt'd out), concealed as bottles of Tequila w/ta worm. ;)
 
Used to be I could cook meth in my sleep I'd done so many cases. Some of the convenience stores noticed large sales of Coleman Camp fuel, matches, flares and cold medicine and put all the ingredients together on the same shelf! Kansas ramped up the penalties for manufacture and now most of our meth comes from Mexico. Still tons of weed around as well as K-2 and various other synthetics. Opioids are on the rise too. Not much crack around anymore thankfully, at least in my backwoods area.

I'd ask what percentage of the population is a huge epidemic? Obesity is a bigger epidemic than most drugs everywhere, so weighing the population is probably not a good way to get a feel for the number of the users of drugs which are prone to make the user thin. Here in Houston there are all types of illicit drugs being used. Last year there was a major apartment fire about a half mile from me. Something like 40 apartments were lost. It happened shortly after lunchtime. The first word about the cause that I got was that a lady was cooking. She was not paying attention and a fire got out of hand. Three months later I was told she was cooking meth.

Here in Kalifornia we can only give tickets to drug offenders. Get caught shooting heroin on the street, oops get a ticket... Drugs are a major problem here and just getting worse. Every city and county is infested with drug abusers, makers and sellers. The state government encourages it and the locals are completely overwhelmed.
 
Local Sheriff cleaned up the meth here.....now he is fighting pills and heroin. OD deaths up 300% from 2014. Be thankful that you have what you have. That you were raised how you were raised. And that you can speak with great folks here on this forum. Be encouraged and clean up your little corner of the world...carry your firearm, set a good example and be aware but fearless! God will do the rest.
 
Meth has been a huge problem here for years. We don't see meth labs, though. Most of what we see is manufactured in Mexico, smuggled across the border in massive quantities, and distributed throughout the US. We also see lots of heroin, some cocaine and even some LSD once in a while. We are, of course, awash in marijuana that comes from Colorado. We also get "huffers" from time to time. We had one guy huffing computer keyboard cleaner while he was driving down the street the other day. He passed out, crossed four lanes of traffic and went through the front end of a motorcycle shop. Great stuff. I can't even count the number of ways people have to screw themselves up these days.
 
The drug problem in this country is horrendous. Go to an AA or NA meeting and see the young people struggling to get clean and stay clean.

I'm sorry but dealing drugs should carry a life sentence with no possibility of parole, instead of the past administration's innumerable pardons.
 
Meth has taken a back seat to heroin here, as it has in most medium-to-large cities, The heroin is often cut with fentanyl, which makes it far more likely to produce fatal overdoes.

Our OD rate here is scary enough to have made the national news a while back.

On the other hand, the 58-year-old daughter of a friend of mine died a year ago of complications from smoking meth when she lived in New Orleans. It hasn't gone away, just slipped down the popularity scale.
 
I worked with a tweaker when I worked as a deliveryman for a photo developing house in Chicago in the '70s during highschool and college. That was the first time I'd heard the word "tweaker", from one of the other drivers, describing him.

He got fixated on one of the girls who worked in the back and started harassing her. Some of us pulled him aside and offered him an elevator ride... one way... down... minus the elevator.
 
Sadly, the only thing going for some people in these tiny towns are liquor, sex, and meth. It's to pass the time in these boring places. This has been reported to me by several users. I think it has more to do with a disjointed youth.
 
Meth is evil. I learned too late that my daughter was addicted to it. It has cost her her health and cost me close to half my retirement funds and I will probably out live her. Make no mistake, meth is evil and those that deal in it are supporting an evil agenda.
 
Heroin laced with Fentanyl has caused multiple deaths here in my area
over the past year .. people don't know what they're buying and the pushers are cutting the stuff with anything they can buy or steal to put in it ..

there are 2 areas near me that seem to draw those sorts .. and police were busting a lab every couple of months .. a couple because of fires or explosions where they were cooking the stuff .. its where we would never suspect it would be ..
