I live in the California's Central Valley which is known as the Meth Capital of The World. Seeing strung out junkies selling themselves to feed their habit, camping out in parks and wandering the streets, talking to themselves is a very common sight in my neck of the woods.

I'm confused. I thought meth was illegal nationwide.

The meth recipe was developed by the Nazi's, (I believe), which means it's been around for a very long time. Weren't "mothers little helpers", dexies, black beauties, etc. prescribed by doctors? My Aunt used to get a prescription once a month for the stuff.
The doctor always gave her a physical and kept close watch on her, I suppose, (she never looked like the photo's posted or got busted for anything, she was middle/upper class, rather snooty),that all changed in 1973-74 when the Fed's restricted the usage of this class of drug.
She retired about then and never used that class of drugs again. Perhaps this class of drugs should be returned to the doctors discretion as to how they are prescribed. I don't see the WOD reducing the problem.
