"Frontline" looks at the Meth problem tonight...

6. Why not?

Look, people who are looking for the high that meth gives them are going to find it one way or the other. Why not allow those people access to clean, quality controlled amphetamines? The secondary health problems that they are currently suffering from using crap made out of battery acid, matchhead sulfur and god knows what else would be minimized. The crime wave that we out here in the Meth Capital of the World are suffering under would disappear. The environmental nightmares that are dotting our countryside(and that nobody is doing a damn thing about) would no longer happen. Not to mention that legalization would lead to higher amounts of people actually getting off the shit.

I don't know where you live, but I live smack dab in the middle of meth country. It would be nice to get it back from the meth heads, and the only way that is going to happen is if you legalize it. Otherwise, the problem is just going to continue to grow out of control. Prohibition never works, never. It doesn't deter the folks who want to use the stuff, and it only hurts the innocent people in the surrounding society.
