Meth America
Kids, what doMeth, I've just found out, is cool with teen-agers
here in Wisconsin and I've been wondering how on Earth that can
be. No cool people that I've heard of - you know, movie stars,
musicians, rap stars and such - use the stuff. So how can this
be the latest thing? Yeah, I'm not hip to youth culture anywhere
anymore, but this stuff mystifies me. All drugs are bad, of
course, and no one should use them, but some of the other
plagues at least had some sort of a positive reputation.
Cocaine, for instance, was supposed to make you thin and
beautiful. And then broke and then psychotic. What does Meth do?
It makes you skinny and ugly. And then broke. And then
psychotic.
you see in this stuff? Is it just that Weed is too expensive? I
guess it's like Chris Rock always said: People want to get high.
And if you eliminated every single drug we have now, they'd find
something else.
I'm pretty Libertarian about things and think that the legal
consequences of drug use shouldn't be more punitive then the
physical and social ones, but ... I don't know. This one turns
people really bad. Maybe I'm kind of wrong and it should be
very, very illegal.
