The meth posts are caused by the methane built up in taped up ass of the cow from RIGHTALK.COM. Now that King Kong Bolton has replaced the cow, meth is spewing everywhere.

If it was an actual epidemic, I wouldn't need a newspaper or magazine to tell me about the problem, I'd havea pretty good idea about it just doing my daily errands.

FYI: any meth that's as yellow as the crank picture in that article is bad sh*t and not worth your time or money.
