Yeah baby!!!! Legalize it!!! Legalize such poison.

Actually,until the war on drugs in the early 80's, methamphetamine used to be legal, and available through a doctor. Meth was usually prescribed as a diet pill.

Meth was given to truckdrivers, fighter pilots(still is), and I had a WW2 vet tell me they were given doses of meth before being dropped out of planes onto the French countryside.

Legal Meth is one of the drugs thought to have killed Elvis. It still was a lot less dangerous when made in labs legally than it is now, and there were a lot less addicts.

I thought it was the late 1960's that speed was made illegal after too many housewives got addicted to diet pills.

I think both JFK and Hitler was addicted to the drug thanks to their quack doctors.

It was never "less dangerous" but rather distribution was controlled - people didn't know they could make it at home with supplies from the local drug and hardware store.

Legal Meth is still in existance and is fed to our children, mostly male children, in unimaginable quantities.

Ritalin and other ADHD medicines are very, very similar to the homebrew versions sold on the street - just cleaner
