"shake and bake" meth

AP IMPACT: New meth formula avoids anti-drug laws - Yahoo! News

Scary stuff on a number of levels, and also points out why prohibition-type laws never work. Wonder what lovely new ways our government will come up with to treat us like criminals for buying cold medicine, because of this latest development?

Yeah, if you have a cold and a sprained ankle at the same time, i guess you now have to make two stops to get your medicine and cold pack now. Or the local LEO will be at your house wanting to hall you away.

When there's a will there's a way.

You took the words right out of my mouth, buddy.

Oh goodie. What kind of crazy person sits around and thinks up this sort of thing???

Let's see, we'll take some Sudafed and mix it with amonia. Then we'll toss in some battery acid, maybe an Alka-Seltzer, part of a flea collar, sawdust, ground glass and gunpowder. We'll cook it down, smoke it and see if it gets us high. Yeah, that sounds like a good idea.

Really?

Supply and demand. The circle does not stop just b/c of a new law. People are not apes, they use their brains when they have to, THEN the cook em'. lol!

Bring on the laws....

"Nessesity is the mother of all inventions". don't know who said that, but its true. To bad they couldn't do anyting better with their lives instead of frying themselves.

It's too bad that crud doesn't take the user down more quickly.
It's probably a terrible thing to say, but the problems an addict causes outweighs any hope that they will ever be a peaceful and productive part of society.

And sadly these geniuses that are developing the methods of production are proboably young chemists that either can't get the job they want, or don't mind introducing garbage in society for their own personal gain.

Craziness.

We should celebrate the creativity and work ethic of these industrious people. Small business ownership is the dream of many Americans.
When can we expect Obama to step in and have the government run the meth labs?
Rebates on all purchases or two free rocks if paid in "intimate favors".

Cool. Real smart people they are. Drugs and drug making always evolve. But I like it that they now can think your a druggie for buying a combination of these certain items. All you have to do then is prove your innocent.

Say goodbye to 2- litre bottles. That's the obvious government solution to the problem. Of course the real solution to this is to re-legalise pharmaceutical grade amphetamines.

 

[jennybird]

Whatever happened to just sniffing dry erase markers?

 

[RCB]

Yep, it will send a whole new set of regulations on what you can and can't buy. I refuse to sign my name and become part of that registry. Freaking ridiculous really. Well of course we have the successful eradication of pot right? And then we can also see the successful campaigns against all other illegal drugs, alcohol, illegal immigrants, illegal weapons... well and just about everything else. You would think once they made murder illegal it would have solved a whole lot of problems... same thing with rape... maybe not everyone got the memo?

New legislation largely just give politicians a gold star so everyone can see how proactive they are. Heaven forbid the real problems of unemployment/underemployment, poor wages and poor advancement potential not to mention lack of ethical and moral direction.... but that doesn't get them elected.

I am a little surprised this didn't start out earlier. GOOD FIND REP'D

Yes, and sell them for about 30 cents a pound. The streets come alive at night with thieves looking to steal things to pawn for dope money, not because they like stealing, they just want another fix.

Keeping these drugs illegal raises the price, and makes the dealers more dangerous and the users more desperate.
