The 'Meth Epidemic' in Perspective
In case you just can't get enough debunking of overheated stories about the methamphetamine "epidemic," the Drug War Chronicle does its usual calm and thorough job, noting that meth use has been flat for years and suggesting some reasons why the media are suddenly so interested in the subject.

I'm up to here in meth.
Who'th gonna clean up thith meth?
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.
JC, you must run errands in a better neighborhood than I.
OD,
There is something missing in my madness.
Can you supply?
