BBC said:
US warns of 'global meth threat'


Methamphetamine use has soared in the US
The US authorities have warned that the addictive drug methamphetamine has become a "global threat".

US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) chief Karen Tandy said global users of methamphetamine outnumbered cocaine and heroin users combined.

She was speaking at an international narcotics conference in Canada.

Methamphetamine, or crystal meth, is a stimulant which induces euphoria, but can lead to side effects such as violent behaviour and depression.

Delegates at the 24th International Drug Enforcement Conference in Montreal were told that synthetic drugs such as ecstasy and methamphetamine were becoming a worldwide phenomenon.

"Methamphetamine trafficking and the movement of its precursor chemicals are an increasing global threat," Ms Tandy told the conference.

"More than 26 million people worldwide use amphetamines - largely methamphetamines... ," she added.

Crime link

She cited the example of a laboratory in Indonesia, raided in November, which had exports linked to Hong Kong, Thailand, Singapore and the US.

Criminal gangs were also exporting the drug from the US to Japan, she said.

The raw ingredients of the drug were being shipped from India and China and smuggled through third countries, she added.

Dr Paul Thompson, a California-based neuroscientist researching the effects of the drug, told the BBC's World Today programme that the spread of the drug could lead to an increase in violent crime.

"We know that many of the people that are arrested in Los Angeles - about 40% of them - have been using methamphetamine," he said.

"We're worried that as this drug is spreading throughout the US and overseas, this could produce a massive increase in violent crime."

So, basically the DEA says that MJ is their top priority, but the rest of the world needs to tackle Methamphetamine. :rolleyes:

Hmmmm - let's guess. :chin:

Meth involves freaks, nasty chemicals that blow up, and serious fire power to protect it. :yoinks:

Pot has potheads, ferts and numerous pizza boxes to trip over. :joint:

If you had to break down a door to one of these - which would you chose?

U.S. cops aren't totally stupid - make the harmless drug out to be wicked, and then spend all your time hunting down stoners with chipbags. :bat:

They are pussies. :moon:

yes we're easier to bully and fuck with b/c we don't live like thugs with weapons, just a bunch of leafy green plants...i think everyone in the DEA should be forcibly dosed with some really good LSD, i think many of them would have their minds crippled and the ones that didn't wouldn't be against drugs anymore...

I think this cartoon is appropriate for this thread.

The govt. prefers us to use drugs. Get busted and you've got a felony. Got a felony ya can't vote. If ya don't vote you ain't got no say. Perfect. Sounds like a play outta Carl Roves playbook.

plus it's easier to find weed than the other drugs. Perhaps why they hang out in doughnut shops - waiting to trail the guy reeking of skunk #1 with the shit-eatin grin ordering doughnuts with sprinkles.

its the way they can criminalize you easy. They get you on this stuff then they can put you into one of their army base labor camps. They can only use non violent prisoners for slave labor on army camps and stoners they figure are easy pickings

here are the us military guidelines for civilian labor camps here

I people in the US gotta be paying more attention. there's worse shit than busting mj smokers going on. thats just the tip of the iceberg

humm, I was under the impression that the police where not messing around with the cannabis so much, and were going after Meth double time. The organization of law enforcement officers that want to legalize drugs (i forgot the name of them) has gotten the police to lay off cannabis folk for the most part. That's in California, i dont know about the rest of the country.
As for busting the Meth heads, i'm all for it.. If what you are injesting ruins the earth's soil to the point that it has to be put in sealed cans and transported to chemical storage depots, you got serious problems!!! And me a moral human, has to take a moral stand and if i know anyone who uses these kind of drugs, i disassociate with them ASAP.. I have noticed by being around meth heads for the last 10 years, that they are ruined as humans after using meth for a long period of time.. I have watched Booze and Meth destroy families, friendships, and human emotions in general. It seems like people that use Meth, just lose the ability to be human in a humans true nature. I have never used any type of meth in my life and can only see my side of it, but what i see i dont like and stay away from it at any cost (sorry dad). With all this ecstasy being consumed, i honestly dont think people understand that they are using methamphetamines. Again the ignorant youth getting robbed of their virtue by dirty humans bent on making a quick buck. Meth is almost as bad as kiddie porn to me. It has already launched its attack on human kind. I had a hard time quiting soda pop. It took me 3 years to kick the habbit. I have flashbacks for soda on hot days.... I cant imagine trying to quit something like Meth.. I feel sorry for the poor human that trys it.. Its a chemical that was "designed" to be addictive, the great feeling it brings is a "side effect".. Wake the fuck up people.. its about profit with that drug.. watch "New Jack Cit" lol.. I can rant all day on meth, so i'm out... in the end, all we can do is go to bed and hope that every human that had to make a decision today; made the right decison for mankind.

Cannabismavin,

Well, this thread isn't about the locals, the guy pulling midnights and dealing with all kinds of shit. I agree, most could care less. Although I will say in Cali, where you have the med laws, it stands to reason you would see less enforcement than in non-med states.

I'm referring to the DEA, who, when sent a request from the National Sheriffs Association, signed by over 400 agencies, to make meth its priority over pot (for funding purposes - DEA funds must be used for DEA objectives), refused. There are departments that cannot go after meth labs like they want to, because they don't have the cash! It costs about $100k to clean up a meth lab. Once they've used the funds the DEA has earmarked for that, they simply don't have the money, because the DEAs other funds are earmarked for MJ.

But now they step up and warn the rest of the world of the Meth meance, while still maintaining an MJ focus here in the US.

The DEA/ONDCP is the problem here, not the poor schmoe pulling the midnight shift dealing with all kinds of more important shit, who, as you said, usually doesn't give a shit unless you give him a reason too.

Hell, around my neck of the woods, I've seen cops show up at parties where pot is being smoked in massive quantities, and park the cruiser on the street in front of the house for a good 5 or 10 minutes before pulling into the driveway.

The problem here isn't the local cops, it's the ass munching feds with nothing better to do.

lol "ecstasy a global threat" - you'll find in most places ecstasy use is way down, its just made something of a resurgance in the US for some reason.


Its not 1992 anymore, pills are for the most part shitty quality these days and theres not such a big rave scene to support them anymore.




Meth meanwhile is a threat, I support all action to rid society of hard drugs but I dont believe they're going about it the right way.

u know, i too believe meth is bad and shouldnt be used, but in a free society shouldnt that be up to the indivdual. what right do we have to use weed if others cant use what they want. ofcourse weed isnt anywhere near as deadly or damaging but you should have the right to destroy your body if you so choose. you cant have a truely free society if society makes decisions for its populace. we have the right to freedom but we also have the responsiblity to take make decisions for ourselves. most people that would use meth are going to do it if its legal or not. so why not save the money and effort and allow people to fuck themselves over.

I agree with you on the global scale. But I see way way more rolls these days than just 2 years back. In the US that is.

I am no longer suprised at what our government does, such as this right here. I wouldn't expect anything less.

the difference between meth and mj:

meth leads to violence against others. mj doesn't. if a substance has a direct correlation to violence then it is to the benefit of society for it to be banned in order to protect others.

ok lets not make any judgements TT could be right. lets just wait and see but the smart money is on him sucking cock in a dark alley somewhere. sorry thats not a personal attack its just that the odds are against you man. if you overcome them great for you glad to hear it youve got will power and control greater than the vast majority of society. but i hope you do realize that some people actually alot of people cannot use those drugs "responsibly"

From the nice thread where the whole time you were saying how TT is going to end in in some alley sucking dick for meth and that it shouldn't be legal and all that jazz. Then you all of a sudden of the other "teams" side? what happened to not being able to use "hard" drugs? I thought everyone turned into addicts and couldn't control themselves?

Sounds like you like attention no matter which direction it's coming from.
