Thank you for respecting my convictions on the matter of meth use and drug abuse in general.
Science has advanced much and I regretfully would like to inform you that my baseball bat analogy is unfortunately very accurate.
My aruguments are based in solid research and science. (NOT POLITICAL IDEOLOGY)
To support my position I will show you the science on this subject.
Please proceed to this link. http://www.loni.ucla.edu/~thompson/MEDIA/METH/PR.html
You will be provided with the images of a meth exposed brain (not the so-called holes) these are a very different type of image called S.P.E.C.T.
I fully support your need (if you have one). To use all the meth you want just not around other people. Due to the fact of the chance of contagion and violence. (I can and would support this with overwheliming science as well.)
Hell I support your right to put a .45 cal. round through your auditory canal, and to be frank I would recomend this approach to suicide rather than meth us as that (Death by METHAMPHETAMINE is very painful and very protracted. (again I would support this with overwhelming science)
The only point I will concede on my baseball bat analogy is that a severe blow to the head with a ball bat will tend to produce damage in 1 or 2 localized areas (out side of the cebral edema) which the edema is generlized and if you recover from that it will dissipate quickly.
NOW I GATHER FROM YOUR SCREEN MONAIKER THAT YOU POSSESS SOME ODD POLITICAL BELIEFS.BELIEFS THAT MIGHT PRECLUDE YOU FROM REASON. BUT SORRY CHARLIE FACTS ARE FACTS.—-BUT LET ME SAY I FULLY SUPPORT A PERSONS RIGHT TO BE STUPID THIS IS NATURAL SELECTION AT IT’S FINEST. BUT A PERSONS “RIGHT” TO BE A DUMB ASS, ENDS AT MY RIGHT TO LIVE.
Please be advised should you choose to argue this subject with me you will argue with political stupidity.
I will argue with science there will be no contest!

As much as I respect you opinion Tom the nurse, I believe your baseball bat example is rather inaccurate. You see doing drugs is victim less crime. As in you do not directly deny people there rights by abusing a drug. What Muriel means is that people have a right to do with there body as they please. I can also understand the logic by the fact if you make a substance ect illegal only the criminals will have it.

Muriel S. I assume you are a meth user or a former user so with that in mind we will go slow here.
Meth is a neurotoxin that is to say the way it works is by poisoining your brain.
Most meth userers have something called neurotoxic lesions and/or prefrontal erosion.
Some long term users have such profound damage they have seziures and not enough sense left to play with themselves!
In fact many become psycotic, parnoid, perverts who prey on others like “creepy Phil”Garrido,(kidnapped and raped a 11 year old) Jeremy Bryan Jones,(killed 4 women) or Ricky Davis and Deanna Lewis (this team killed two women and raped a 5 year old) and many others that have killed or hurt others.
If I apply your logic to this why not decriminalize aggraveted assults with baseball bats?
Should be ok to beat the brains out of someone or even yourself if you want to.
If you want to reason thats ok just give your poor burned out mind about 5 years of rest from the meth!!

Wouldn’t be smarter and cheaper for everyone to decriminalize it and regulate it as a prescription drug the way it used to be?
