It really is time to legalize drugs, yes, all of them

43. 'Scuse me, I live in the meth capital of the country

I don't have to travel more than a couple of miles in any direction to find a nice toxic spot where a meth lab blew up. I've had my property ripped off by meth freaks. I've had my car shot up by dueling crack dealers. And you know what, I am goddamn sick and tired of this secondary crime wave that is being directly caused by the illegality of these drugs.

We've tried the Prohibition method, and you know what, it doesn't work. People still, and always will, want to alter their state of consciousness, and nothing that we do is going to stop that. I would much rather have legalized meth, and my property and life safe from the scourges of the black market. I would much rather see meth heads getting clean methamphetamine, the same shit that was given to US pilots in WWII to keep them alert, than driven to putting a witch's brew of battery acid, sulfur match heads and god knows what else in their body. I would rather see meth being manufactured in a controlled factory setting where the waste is properly disposed of, rather than in back road factories that blow up and toxify the surrounding countryside.

Yes, I know all to well about meth, like I said, I live in the meth capital of the world.
