Calvin makes a damn good point. What kind of environment are we creating for his (and our kids) when every third family is cooking meth on the kitchen stove and junior is coming to school with open sores on his face? Just askin'.
Meth was developed because of the high price of other recreational drugs. The cost is less because you don't have to transport it through an interdiction gauntlet to get it to market, as it's made in the area where it will be marketed. Legalize drugs, and no one will be making meth. Too dangerous to manufacture, and there will be better, cheaper, options available.
