That's the catch with meth that really set this off. Meth making is very dangerous, and is usually done by amateurs. About a year ago, cops busted a dude sleeping in his car parked at a gas station. His car also happened to be a full blown meth lab. Houses that are meth labs are ticking time bombs in residential areas. Every single bust I have seen on tv has also included the fact that the parents 2-4 kids who were living in said meth lab are going to now going to be state wards.

Heh, maybe the government should do what the record companies did to napster - pollute the market with tainted materials. ;)

So apparently it needs to be stronger, not weaker...

You could always get a prescription for the same stuff and avoid the OTC aspects of the law. They all have near equivalents that can be had on the usual 30 day supply renewing Rx.

That'd be a fine opinion if I didn't have to help pay for their medical bills after they eff themselves up...I say we legalize all those drugs...then make sure they will kill...rather than mame.

Well even if legalisation of drugs did lead to increased costs for the taxpayer, that’s a price I would be more than willing to pay in order to live in a free society.
But I think you’re wrong for two reasons.
Firstly, you haven’t factored in the prohibitive law enforcement costs of fighting an unwinnable “war against drugs”TM.
Secondly, I’m not persuaded that legalising drugs actually leads to more health problems for addicts. A lot of the health problems are actually caused by addicts using dirty needles, and drugs that have been cut with other substances. Those problems would be greatly reduced if they could obtain their drugs through legal channels.
