Global War On Drugs 'Has Failed' Say Former Leaders

Los Pollos.

Los Pollos.

I think they opened for Los Lobos.

I figured the meth demand curve would follow the path taken by crack, since both suffer from a scarcity of repeat customers.

I thought it already had.  It kind of came out of nowhere (in Alberta) around 2005 but then it actually stopped its advance, because word had gotten out about how bad that stuff was for you.

Mind you I deal with plenty of crack users all the time.

And who's fault is that?

I don't follow.

I don't follow.

I don't deal with crack users all the time.  I don't deal with them at all.  I don't think you should be Dealing, dude.

useless anecdotes: girl i had relations with recently's mother is addicted to it, and has friends who are too. and an ex-coworker told me she was into it for about a half-year a few years ago. among the white trash (and other ethnic trash?) in the upper midwest, it's still around. 2/3 (of trash variety) that i know decently well have been on it or known people who were on it. the third did a lot of ecstasy and obviously more than a reasonable amount of weed, but i don't know the addictions of her family/friends

Crack is still around in ample supply.  I don't think crack consumption rates have changed much since the mid-90s.  I'm sure meth is much the same.

The CIA?

One thing that surprised me in Knoxville is that meth was pretty minor within Knox County.  Only in the real boondocks was meth popular.  In Knoxville, there was a little crack, but mostly just pills, pills, pills.  The quintessential crime was stealing your grandmother's jewelry to pawn for cash to buy little blue Roxicodones and Xanax bars.

That's what I've been hearing.  Legal prescription pills are the big thing these days.  There is still more then enough Meth Labs around though.  In fact, one Meth lab is more then enough.
