I didn't mention it before because I am in no way bragging.  That was the worst job I have ever had.  But it isn't even JUST the crap in this drug.  When someone goes off the deep end on it, which happend 95% of the time, the go WAY off the deep end.  And these people breed like mad, a condom being the last thing on their minds, use during their pregnacies creating meth babies (which I have seen them.  They have seizures, and their lungs colapse and stuff from withdrawl).  And then these kids are in un-livable enviroments.  Not to mention the lab being a HUGE danger to those kids.  
It is an epidemic.  The "crank" that people were doing 20 years ago is not the same as this stuff out today.  And this a very new drug.  We know what people who have smoked pot for 50 years look like.  We don't know what meth does to us in the long haul.  You know the tingly feeling in your hair?  Those are your brain cells sizzling away by the second.  People will be in a home, unable to care forthemselves after many years.  Not to mention the depletion of bone density, and mass.  Wasting syndrome.  
I would lay my life down now to be able to get rid of this thing comptely.  If meth hasn't touched your life very seriously, it will soon.  Someone you love will be destroyed by it.  It happens with alcohol, it damn sure happens on meth, 500 fold.
Heather, your heart is in the right place.  Keep marching sistar!!  Yes I do smoke, and I have even done meth, Maybe 5 times or so? I've done did it all (almost) years ago, bach when it was crank, which it's WAY more potent now.  I have lost some enamel off the inside of my top back molars.  And seriously, I only did it a few times YEARS ago.  I have never had a cavity, so loosing enamal had to have been that. 
Look at how these meth heads look, no teeth.  Like the living dead, zombies.  If it is doing that to the outside of your body imagine what it is doing to the inside.
I am with you girl, it's bad shit!
