I guess if you try meth you're really rolling the dice. You might be able to stop using it, or only use it recreationaly, but it'll probably end up controling your life.

It does bring up some interesting questions for those of us who think that drugs should be legalized. Most people can handle pot smoking, but at the same time there are a few people who do become psychologicaly addicted and have it ruin their lives. I still think it should be legalized; you can't compromise the freedoms of millions to protect the very few who can't handle their shit and should've known better then to try it.

But what if there were a drug that ruined the lives (addiction, ect.) of 95% of the people who tried it once. But the other 5% could handle it, use it ocassionaly, have a good time. Should that drug be banned? I'm not saying meth is that bad (I don't know), but it kinda seems like it, and in that case it seems like illegalization is a good idea.
Meth is some shit, people tend to mix all sorts of toxic chemicals and adulterants to it which can make it a very dangerous drug. It's actually dangerous by itself, and has an addiction potential as you said. And wtf, meth is illegal without a prescription, it's a schedule II controlled substance.
