Quoted:

Historically speaking, the biggest single cause of drug epidemics is anti-drug campaigns. The noisy, self-serving publicity campaigns against drugs actually provide the dealers with free advertising. The warning against drugs functions as a lure for a lot of people. After all, if the drug is as dangerous as the campaign tells you, then why do people take it? Obviously -- because it must really feel great. (Or so their reasoning goes)

The major rise in the use of the drugs invariably follows the noisy campaign against the drug, rather than preceding it. This happened before in the 1960s.

I wish to strongly disagree with the above assertion.

I believe Anti-Drug Campaigns have a strong positive benefit.

Publicity goes up, parents get concerned, parents start to talk to their kids, lives are saved in the process.

Case in point - 1980's - Reagan "Just Say No" Campaign

"Just Say No" worked fine for myself and friends, etc.

Peer Pressure was defused because it was OK to say NO.

I would like to see a strong increase in Anti-Drug Campaigns.

Lots of rural areas for labs, plus they steal anhydrous ammonia from the farmers for production.

ding, ding, ding we have the answer

We had one in town a year or two back where the cookers got the brilliant idea to steal a semi truck of anhydrous instead of dealing in smaller quantities.

They would have gotten away with it if their neighbors (they were in town) hadn't dropped a dime to the 5-0 about a semi trailer with a hose leading into the house next door.

They caught a guy in our area trying to drill through an anhydrous tank, not real smart.

I have heard of cases where tweekers will drill into the large tanks with a battery drill and fill buckets with the anhydrous.

Meth is no longer only produced in trailers out in the woods, cheap apartments are often used now, the crap to make it'll fit in a small box.

Ohio has very lax Sudafed laws.

The big thing here is mobile meth labs in vans.

Meth has a strong odor when it is being made. That is why it is more popular in the sticks because no one is around to smell you making it. OK has clamped down on Ephedrine sales as well. You can only buy them at the pharmacy counter now. sucked on Xmas day when my mom had a cold and needed some decongestent and the Pharm counter was closed :/
