Meth is bad juju.
That there is a drug that could explain insane behavior.
Pot and Tequila don’t make people act that way.
Coke can get close but even that wont make people psychotic like the Meth will.
While a lot of people seemingly make sense when they protest the idea of restrictions on potent drugs being made laxer, with meth as a particularly bad boy, it also seems to ignore the historical truth that when physicians and pharmacists were the de facto gateways, just by asking, for things as potent as morphine: abuse was less frequent, less intense and less likely to lead to gross violence and destructive crime even if people let their own lives go to, well, pot. Open socialization really did ameliorate the worst harms connected to drug abuse, as was later to be learned about alcohol after the end of its ill fated ban. I personally believe that pot ought to be added back to the pharmacopoeia and that any licensed physicians, as long as they have adequate and reasonable insurance, should be able to prescribe it as freely as something like Valium.
