Or maybe it really is this bad.

They are hyping it off the small percentage of users that go all the way to the bottom. We get the same story with every drug. It's like running an article about booze and only talking about the bowery bums.

Actually, you just move the OTC stuff behind the counter and require ID to buy it. Hasn't slowed me down at Walmart...

Oklahoma meth lab busts were reduced 80% I think it was....

You mean red states are ahead of the NYTimes on something?

Meth is a very serious problem. I have met a lot of people that have been wiped out, many of whom were young girls that liked the drug because it helped them with weight control. Once the binge starts, it literally eats them from the inside out. Not a very fun thing to watch. I have never heard of the otc version.
