This is a great documentary from Frontline about the effects meth has on America. While I am not a big proponent of the drug wars, as meth use spreads the affect on society will be greater than all of Al Qaeda's work. Meth not only destroys the body, but also destroys the soul. It leaves users a hollow shell of their former selves. I cannot see how the current administration can view all illicit drugs equally as justifiable, when this one drug can singly reverse a decade crime reduction in America. And while our country continues to debate the issues of illegal immigration of Mexicans into the U.S., tons of meth streams across our largely unpatrolled borders. Of course all of this could be stopped if the nine factories that make ephedrine and pseudoephedrine would start placing controls over distribution.
