Via [personal profile] nancylebov. PDF. I have not tried this. I do not intend to try this. I do not recommend that YOU try this. I am not encouraging you to associate with meth dealers or manufacture medications in your home and will not be held responsible for the outcome of either. Do not read while drinking due to risk of aspiration. Read with caution if afflicted with a nasty painful hacking cough that feels as if your chest were being ripped asunder by vicious starving mutant weasels and makes your headache even worse and ... um. Sorry. ANYWAY.

Ayep! They feel it's a resounding success.

Oh, and we now don't have local kids getting pulled out of meth houses. We still have local kids getting taken away from their tweaker parents, but now the kids who're getting poisoned by the meth-manufacturing byproducts are in faraway exotic Mexico, so we don't have to worry about them.

(If you're thinking I'd rather have seen more energy put into explaining to everyone exactly why it's a really, really terrible idea to start doing meth, rather than confiscating everyone's cold pills, you're not wrong. But heaven knows we can't treat potential addicts like rational actors. Because addicts are all wicked. /bitterness)
