You don't think the whole "I tried Meth once now I'm beating my mom" thing is a bit of an exaggeration?

Look at ZaneJohnson, he's just a troll. :laugh:

If that what you get from reading the ad, you're doing it wrong.

It does not say just once will make you beat your mom. It says not even once because just once most often leads to addiction, and addiction leads you to do terrible things.

Meth is a terrible drug and the more graphic the education on it, the better. I applaud the education efforts. Education is the ONLY effective course of action against drugs. Bans and enforcement make no dent in addiction rates. Only education works.

Doesn't everyone know meth is bad?

And they say not even once, because it is so addictive, and it will lead to that, so, ipso facto, try meth once = beat your mom.

;)

I'm a lot more concerned with people in apartments making meth in their buildings and causing huge fires that kill 50-70 people than people with no self-control self-destructing on meth.

I got your ipso facto, buddy! :p

Think about this: You stand FAR more chance of being robbed, carjacked, beaten or killed by a meth addict and/or dealers than you do of being hurt by an exploding meth lab. You stand even more chance of coming to harm because of the enforcement side of the war on drugs driving all this crap underground into the hands of gangs.

Education works. We need more of this and far less money wasted on enforcement that does nothing but rob the innocent of their rights and freedoms.

Hehe..=)

I wish we could drop all the war on drugs BS, educate people, and let them make their own choices.

It'd all sort it self out from there.

We could instead have "Being a crazy methhead in public" citations. So we can tell crazy meth addicts to GTFO, and let nice normal people relax with some beers and weed or what not.

Well that was rambley.

I've been out to one of the Native American reservations in Lame Deer, MT (about 1.5 hrs SE of Billings) a couple of times for my wife's church. They're building log cabins for children of the church on the reservation - they'll eventually be moved off of the Reservation and it'll be a place where the kids can have a week long church camp...or something like that.

Anyways...there are those kinds of billboards EVERYWHERE out there. It's really sad to see how Meth has affected those areas. We saw 4 kids in just a few days get sent to foster homes and the houses on the reservation get boarded up/ready to be destroyed thanks to Meth. I've never tried it and after seeing things like that...I never will.
