Glad you got clean...I got back from a trip once and found a man I hired to do some work for me was making meth in my barn, and he and his girlfriend spend the next three years in prison for it. That was back in Ohio 15 years ago.
I caught some scappers at work in Texas and they got the scare of their lives. I caught them in stolen truck, on their way back from the scrap yard high as a kite, when the made the mistake of making a wrong turn into my driveway and then leaving deep ruts in the soft grass by the bar ditch...I made them fix the ditch, bring the truck back and told them if I ever saw them again...The fellow who owned the truck was out of town on a construction job with my neighbor.
But I have to think that the war on drugs isn't helping matters and Big Pharma is now the leading cause of addiction. Two young couples in my town were in the habit of renting a room at the local Budget Inn for the four of them and spending relaxing weekends making and using meth. This weekend they screwed up, by making a strange odor and now they have enough charges to spend a decade in jail each.
The drug problem is costing us all too much money, and we need to fix it. Free meth might work, but only if they take enough of it to die from an overdose.
