I am METH - something worth passing along to our youth (kids, nephews, nieces, neighbors, etc)

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - I am METH - something worth passing along to our youth (kids, nephews, nieces, neighbors, etc) (Page 1 of 2)

Posted: 3/21/2006 7:46:38 AM EDT

I destroy homes, I tear families apart,
I take your children, and that's just the start.

I'm more costly than diamonds, more precious than gold, The sorrow I
bring is a sight to behold.

If you need me, remember I'm easily found, I live all around you - in
schools and in town

I live with the rich, I live with the poor, I live down the street, and
maybe next door.

I'm made in a lab, but not like you think, I can be made under the
kitchen sink.

In your child's closet, and even in the woods, If this scares you to
death, well it certainly should.

I have many names, but there's one you know best, I'm sure you've heard
of me, my name is crystal meth.

My power is awesome, try me you'll see,
But if you do, you may never break free.

Just try me once and I might let you go, But try me twice, and I'll own
your soul.

When I possess you, you'll steal and you'll lie, You do what you have to
- just to get high.

The crimes you'll commit for my narcotic charms Will be worth the
pleasure you'll feel in your arms.

You'll lie to your mother, you'll steal from your dad, When you see
their tears, you should feel sad.

But you'll forget your morals and how you were raised, I'll be your
conscience, I'll teach you my ways.

I take kids from parents, and parents from kids, I turn people from God,
and separate friends.

I'll take everything from you, your looks and your pride, I'll be with
you always - right by your side.

You'll give up everything - your family, your home, Your friends, your
money, then you'll be alone.

I'll take and take, till you have nothing more to give, When I'm
finished with you, you'll be lucky to live.

If you try me be warned - this is no game, If given the chance, I'll
drive you insane.

I'll ravish your body, I'll control your mind, I'll own you completely,
your soul will be mine.

The nightmares I'll give you while lying in bed, The voices you'll hear,
from inside your head.

The sweats, the shakes, the visions you'll see, I want you to know,
these are all gifts from me.

But then it's too late, and you'll know in your heart, That you are
mine, and we shall not part.

You'll regret that you tried me, they always do, But you came to me, not
I to you.

You knew this would happen, many times you were told, But you challenged
my power, and chose to be bold.

You could have said no, and just walked away, If you could live that day
over, now what would you say?

I'll be your master, you will be my slave, I'll even go with you, when
you go to your grave.

Now that you have met me, what will you do?
Will you try me or not? It's all up to you.

I can bring you more misery than words can tell, Come take my hand, let
me lead you to hell.

If you have kids, or are close with any young person, please consider passing this along to them.

You see the problem is this, when the government makes movies like refer madness and then tells us that something else is bad > how are we supposed to believe them ?

Is Meth good, of course not. I'm just saying is it as bad as they say it is ?

Like I said Meth isn't good stuff.

But I have to ask myself if it is as bad as they say it is.

Don't show me pictures of some asswipe who over indulges in it. Show me a person who uses it say once a month for a year ?

sounds like a poem about WOMEN, MARRIAGE and DIVORCE!

I destroy homes, I tear families apart,
I take your children, and that's just the start.
yup, right after the divorce

I'm more costly than diamonds, more precious than gold, The sorrow I
bring is a sight to behold.
yup

If you need me, remember I'm easily found, I live all around you - in
schools and in town
yup, women are everywhere

I live with the rich, I live with the poor, I live down the street, and
maybe next door.
yup, there are rich and poor women

I'm made in a lab, but not like you think, I can be made under the
kitchen sink.
there are women who started out as test tube babies, and i'm sure that some women have been conceived under the kitchen sink

In your child's closet, and even in the woods, If this scares you to
death, well it certainly should.
again, i'm sure many women have been conceived in closets or in the woods

I have many names, but there's one you know best, I'm sure you've heard
of me, my name is crystal meth.

My power is awesome, try me you'll see,
But if you do, you may never break free.
women are addictive, they are something that all straight men are born physically addicted to

Just try me once and I might let you go, But try me twice, and I'll own
your soul.
your soul will be owned after marriage

When I possess you, you'll steal and you'll lie, You do what you have to
- just to get ~~high~~ PIE.

The crimes you'll commit for my narcotic charms Will be worth the
pleasure you'll feel in your arms.

You'll lie to your mother, you'll steal from your dad, When you see
their tears, you should feel sad.

But you'll forget your morals and how you were raised, I'll be your
conscience, I'll teach you my ways.

I take kids from parents, and parents from kids, I turn people from God,
and separate friends.
sounds like what happens after a divorce

I'll take everything from you, your looks and your pride, I'll be with
you always - right by your side.

You'll give up everything - your family, your home, Your friends, your
money, then you'll be alone.

I'll take and take, till you have nothing more to give, When I'm
finished with you, you'll be lucky to live.
more references to the horrors of divorce

If you try me be warned - this is no game, If given the chance, I'll
drive you insane.
many men have been driven insane by women

I'll ravish your body, I'll control your mind, I'll own you completely,
your soul will be mine.
sounds like some husbands i know

The nightmares I'll give you while lying in bed, The voices you'll hear,
from inside your head.

The sweats, the shakes, the visions you'll see, I want you to know,
these are all gifts from me.

But then it's too late, and you'll know in your heart, That you are
mine, and we shall not part.

You'll regret that you tried me, they always do, But you came to me, not
I to you.
it's usually the man who proposes marriage

You knew this would happen, many times you were told, But you challenged
my power, and chose to be bold.

You could have said no, and just walked away, If you could live that day
over, now what would you say?
most men who get divorce regret getting married in the first place

I'll be your master, you will be my slave, I'll even go with you, when
you go to your grave.
some divorced men end up paying alimony for the rest of their lives

Now that you have met me, what will you do?
Will you try me or not? It's all up to you.

I can bring you more misery than words can tell, Come take my hand, let
me lead you to hell.

If you have kids, or are close with any young person who is considering getting married, please consider passing this along to them.

Not saying that the following was meth related (story actually mentions cocaine), but THIS just happened a few miles from our house two nights ago. It has the area pretty shaken since most of the victims were TEENS.

3 dead, 4 more wounded, 2 of whom are critical. 3 of the 4 wounded were headshots.

what bothers me a lot more is the 1,000,000+ children as young as FOUR in this country who are perscribed dextroamphetamine (trade name: adderall) for ADD "because they don't pay attention in class". sometimes, this leads to addiction and even dependence on stronger amphetamines, such as methamphetamine. don't believe for a second the bullshit that "taking amphetamines is perfectly safe as long as the pills are given to you with a doctor's perscription, but otherwise it's almost as bad as smoking crack"

The euphoria supposedly comes from higher doses than the dose that offers the alertness. I think that's part of the problem with recreational use...using high doses to achieve euphoria. The higher doses making addiction more likely. Plus, I'm sure the manufacturing tolerances don't help (garbage in the meth).

Don't get me started on DARE. They taught my kids that cigarettes were in the same boat as crack. When I inquired to the school system, their explanation was that they didn't have enough time to cover each and every drug individually. So, they just taught the kids that cigarettes, beer and wine were on par with crack, heorine, and cocaine.

To the folks who posted about whether meth is as bad as "they" say; I am not LEO or .gov affiliated in any way. I used my share of "rec drugs" in my younger days. There is no such thing as a infrequent/recreational user of meth. Like the proverbial free lunch that animal doesn't exist. I have watched people on my workforce lose everything because they thought they could handle it. I have begged and pleaded and done all humanly possible to help friends who thought they were handling it. I have seen successful middle aged middle class people brought to ruin by this shit. It ain't like pot, herion, coke, crack or anything else we have ever seen. The evidence is all around you if you care to do a little research. Spend 1 night in the ER with someone who is in the grip of meth psychosis and you will change your mind.

sorry for the rant. Just based on my personal experience.

I have smoked a cigerate at breakfast for over twenty years, and maybe one in the evenings after coffee.

My lungs are like a babies my doctor tells me. Now see the difference between two smokes a day and smoking 4 packs a day.

Anything can be overdone, anything. The point is do we need laws telling use how much to smoke, what drugs are good or bad ? When to wear helmets , when to use seat belts, wait> we are already there and I don't like it. Don't like meth - simple don't use it . Don't like porn , simple don't look at it. I DON"T LIKE LAWS telling me what to do or not do when it does not infringe on anyone but me.

Anything can be overdone, anything. The point is do we need laws telling use how much to smoke, what drugs are good or bad ? When to wear helmets , when to use seat belts, wait> we are already there and I don't like it. Don't like meth - simple don't use it . Don't like porn , simple don't look at it. I DON"T LIKE LAWS telling me what to do or not do when it does not infringe on anyone but me.

I agree. We don't need "lowest common denominator" laws to infringe on me to protect retards.

But, that said, meth seems pretty bad.

Well so is mountaineering and I do that. I think meth is probably worse/more dangerous than mountaineering.

Is Meth good, of course not. I'm just saying is it as bad as they say it is ?

No, it's far worse. I've seen what it made my brother into. You have no concept how truly evil and insidious this stuff can be. It's his fault for getting into the stuff, true. But there *are* recovered heroine addicts, coke addicts, alcoholics, whatever. As far as I am concerned there are never any recovered meth addicts. Former users that cleaned up before it got too late, yes. But this stuff has a definate point of no return.

To the folks who posted about whether meth is as bad as "they" say; I am not LEO or .gov affiliated in any way. I used my share of "rec drugs" in my younger days. There is no such thing as a infrequent/recreational user of meth. Like the proverbial free lunch that animal doesn't exist. I have watched people on my workforce lose everything because they thought they could handle it. I have begged and pleaded and done all humanly possible to help friends who thought they were handling it. I have seen successful middle aged middle class people brought to ruin by this shit. It ain't like pot, herion, coke, crack or anything else we have ever seen. The evidence is all around you if you care to do a little research. Spend 1 night in the ER with someone who is in the grip of meth psychosis and you will change your mind.

would you say that meth is "worse/more addictive" than crack?

What I posted is based solely on personal experience and observation. My take on it is yes it is more addictive than crack. I think there has even been research that shows this as related to how it affects certain areas of the brain. I have known people who say they tried crack and have said they didn't see what the big deal is/not for them yadayada. I have never heard anyone say that after doing meth. It is a sad commentary that in this part of the country you would be hard pressed not to find someone who has been affected in some way by this stuff. Crack has the rep of being a "ghetto" drug. Meth crosses all the boundries, from the country club set all the way down to blue collar.

ok then. Perhaps you can explain why tweakers DO go nuts and lose their teeth. I know 3 tweakers that are dead, 2 from suicide and 1 that was killed in the middle of a robbery. I can't say that I know any users of other drugs that have done the same. Maybe it's just my area, but from what I have seen, it really does destroy people's minds

no personal experiencehere, but from what i've read and learned from speaking with others who do have personal experience, most of the physical effects you hear so much about are mostly because of the irresponsible behaviors of the idiot tweakers and not because of the substance itself. the people who go on weeklong binges don't sleep, don't eat, and don't brush their teeth after smoking that corrosive stuff. thats what causes the rotten teeth, facial sores, etc that the gov't loves to show pictures of. there are people out there who use it pretty much responsibly, brush their teeth right after using it, make sure to get enough food, sleep, water, etc, and don't go on weeklong binges. unfortunately, they seem to be a tiny minority.

no argument about the way it seriously messes up people's minds though.

+1. I can agree with this statement. But I know that meth is bad. And in my opinion is far worse than coke. Whether crack is worse because you smoke it, I don't know any crackheads

The rotten teeth is caused by the dry mouth , salivia combats bacteria. When the meth addict goes on his/her binge the mouth is dry for days at a time, causing no cavities but tooth and gum rot cased by bacteria. Not the meth itself, but a direct result of the meth use.

I'm sure the actual chemicals that are being smoked can't help much either though

As I'm sure the lack of dental hygiene by a person who spends every cent of his/her on drugs and not tooth paste and tooth brushes..

For the most part I don't think a person should use drugs. I'm just against government propaganda and lies for them to accomplish their goals and objectives.

I mean it isn't right for them to outright lie to the people as if we aren't able to make informed intelligent decisions. I know we have strayed from the poem post, and apologize for it .
