Pipes are passed around parties like joints these days and that does attact first time users who might not otherwise try the drug.
Bullshit. Take me too a party of 16 year olds and show me a meth pipe. Have YOU ever seen this? Someone who uses speed is someone who has already taken those fisrt few steps into 'hard' illicit drugs. If I went to my mates house who are pot heads, they wouldn't smoke it if i had my SEXY pipe. You're looking at this issue through one eye. People aren't robots, they make their OWN decisions. I still do NOT see that taking meth pipes off the market will curb the meth abuse going on. Meth pipes have ALWAYS been on the shelf. Maybe you should talk to all the people IMPORTING it.
Does the fact that our country is SOAKED in crystal meth make a difference? Come on mate, I'm sure you're not that slow to realise the demand makes the supply. People want to experiment, and they will.
Meth is addictive, yes. But i'd hate to inform you that there is a HUGE HUGE HUGE difference between drug use and drug abuse. Just because it is illegal doesn't make it BAD!!!!!
There's a thread here somewhere that tobacco makes up for ~90% of deaths while illicit drugs make up the other 10.....hmmm.
I've had a few beers so i will say what i was going to...
I smoked/snorted whizz heavely over the last 6 months. Yes i knew that what i was doing wasn't a good thing. Yes I had worked myself into a heavy psychological addiction. But now I haven't touched it for 2.5 months. What I went through I almost wish most people could because what you learn about yourself is impossible to write.
I have grown internally like you could not imagine. I know that I am a better person than most as I do not pass judgment as swiftly as you 'norms'. For god sake get your head out of your ass and realise there's a reason people use 'illegal' drugs (minus the fact they're more enlightning than the great drug alcohol...did you realise alcohol is a drug?????).
Funny how all the RICH kids are smoking it? Heaven forbid, trhose RICH kids much be so much better and more improtant than those damn upper/middle class/lower class citizens.....you make me sick
