Those convicted on meth charges serve some very lengthy prison sentences from what I've read, as lengthy as life in prison, in fact. However, putting drug addicts in prison, whether they are addicted to coke or meth or whether they're black or white or red or yellow, is not going to help them to kick their drug habit. That is especially true of meth, which is extremely addictive and has a high recidivism rate for those who only serve time in prison and don't get rehabilitated. Did you realize that most of the people in prison today have been incarcerated as a result of meth related charges?

Over the years, I think so much time and energy was used on prosecuting young black men for selling crack and making sure they spent most of their time in jail. Black addicts were seen as nothing but street trash and depending on a gov. handouts. These same scenarios were being played out in white rural and suburban communities but they sat in denial that no drugs existed in their communities. Now the meth problem is completely out of control. The news continues to portray young blacks as lowly drug dealers and addicts but reality Tv shows glorify white meth addicts and drug dealers as individuals who have temporarily gotten derailed and are worth saving via counseling and intervention. Where are the strict laws against the white meth offenders. "Those in glass houses should not throw stones"... It is difficult for me to be sympathetic.. Over the years,
