Yeah baby!!!! Legalize it!!! Legalize such poison.
People have a right to own poison, if they misuse it, it is their choice. Bug spray is poison, should it also be illegal?
People who want a government to tell them what they can and can not own are the scary ones to me.
This whole "Meth" problem is just the result of the government employment program aka the War on Drugs.

I'm a middle of the right side of the road libertarian by nature, and I tend to agree that the WOD is a misuse of time and money- except when it comes to meth and crack.
Meth (for white folks) and Crack (for the brothers) aren't like weed, or even smack. Weed makes people stupid, but other than a loss of brain cells (most burners I have known were Democrats), Dopers are largely harmless. Tweakers, conversely, are a real danger to others in society.

This whole "Meth" problem is just the result of the government employment program aka the War on Drugs. I think the War on Some Drugs needs to be modified in several areas, especially regarding pot. But your comment is, quite frankly, dangerously ignorant of the reality of meth manufacture and abuse. Meth is probably the most dangerous hard drug out there, and the manufacture creates a clear hazard to neighbors.

The trouble is that this stuff leads to users flipping out and victimizing their neighbors (burglary, assault, murder, and so on). When such a direct link can be established, then isn't government action warrented?
This isn't "reefer madness." Meth litterally takes normal people and makes them criminally insane.
