[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 2155749, member: 1132"] It's because all the old school cooks are completing their sentences and getting "reintegrated" into the population. When they return to cooking, they add to all the ones who took their place when they got locked up and haven't been caught yet. Meth is a scourge on society and its prevalence makes it far worse than coke or heroin. The destructiveness of the drug is pretty much unsurpassed in this country, at least until krokodil makes its way here. I can understand why the people were willing to make concessions in an attempt to curb it. Unfortunately, when you can make this crap in the back of a car, it will never go away. That said, I'm fast approaching the point where the nanny state has lost ALL of its appeal. The duplicity exercised in the method of passing such legislation is revolting. The net loses outweight any potential benefits. Do we still have a meth problem? Yes. So how can you say the legislation had a meaningful impact? You can't. About the only thing that could have a meaningful impact is an aggressive education campaign at an early age. it might not help right now, but it would pay better dividends down the road than what we're doing now. It really doesn't matter what a nanny's pet cause is. You can bet it will undermine freedom when implemented. That's a price I'm just not willing to pay anymore. :( [/QUOTE]
