i saw it over the week end.
Frightening.

One hit of this stuff and you seem to be hooked....

I didn't see the show but the title of this thread caught my eye.

My son moved to Leawood, KS, a suburb of Kansas City, after he completed his MD residency at UCLA. I asked why he had to move so far away. He said it was a very good place to raise children, and $1Million can buy much more (a home and property) in KS than in LA. He portrayed it as a garden of Eden.

You can imagine my shock when hearing that St. Louis is the meth capital of America.

So can you 'splain about the Montana meth? How does it differ from St. Louis meth?

Thank you.

I did not see the program but did some reading about Montana Meth...sad to think that a state that once was a place described by many as majestic & beautiful has become a state of meth labs.  Most of us are oblivious to the magnitude of the problem.  Thanks, Cat...I would not have known had you not posted.

It's so beautiful.
To see the landscape as a backdrop to these addicts young and old as they are cooking their drugs.

Freaky.

I have just received this in an email and felt it needed to be posted here.  What a tragic waste of our young people.  The pictures of this young girl, once beautiful and happy and then after the ravages of the drug, are too explicit to publish.  They would give you nightmares.

"I AM CRYSTAL METH "

This was written by a young girl who was in jail for drug charges, and was addicted to crystal meth. She wrote this while in jail.
As you will soon read, she fully grasped the horrors of the drug, as she tells in this simple, yet profound poem.
She was released from jail, but true to her story, the drug owned her.
Please keep praying for our Children, Teens, Young adults. Understand, this thing is worse than any of us realize...

My Name: "Is TIK "

I destroy homes, I tear families apart,
Take your children, and that's just the start.

I'm more costly than diamonds, more precious than gold,
The sorrow I bring is a sight to behold.

If you need me, remember! I'm easily found,
I live all around you - in schools and in town.

I live with the rich; I live with the poor,
I live down the street, and maybe next door.

I'm made in a lab, but not like you think,
I can be made under the kitchen sink.

In your child's closet, and even in the woods,
If this scares you to death, well it certainly should.

I have many names, but there's one you know best-
I'm sure you've heard of me, my name is crystal meth.

My power is awesome; try me you'll see,
But if you do, you may never break free.

Just try me once and I might let you go,
But try me twice, and I'll own your soul.

When I possess you, you'll steal and you'll lie,
You do what you have to -- just to get high.

The crimes you'll commit for my narcotic charms
Will be worth the pleasure you'll feel in your arms, (your lungs, and your nose).

You'll lie to your mother; you'll steal from your dad,
When you see their tears, you should feel sad.

But you'll forget your morals and how you were raised,
I'll be your conscience, I'll teach you my ways.

I take kids from parents, and parents from kids,
I turn people from God, and separate friends.

I'll take everything from you, your looks and your pride,
I'll be with you always -- right by your side.

You'll give up everything - your family, your home,
Your friends, your money, then you'll be alone.

I'll take and take, till you have nothing more to give,
When I'm finished with you, you'll be lucky to live.

If you try me be warned - this is no game,
If given the chance, I'll drive you insane.
 
I'll ravish your body, I'll control your mind,
I'll own you completely, your soul will be mine.

The nightmares I'll give you while lying in bed,
The voices you'll hear, from inside your head.

The sweats, the shakes, the visions you'll see,
I want you to know, these are all gifts from me.

But then it's too late, and you'll know in your heart,
That you are mine, and we shall not part.
 
You'll regret that you tried me, they always do,
But you came to me, not I to you.

You knew this would happen, many times you were told
But you challenged my power, and chose to be bold.

You could have said no, and just walked away,
If you could live that day over, now what would you say?

I'll be your master, you will be my slave,
I'll even go with you, when you go to your grave.
 
Now that you have met me, what will you do?
Will you try me or not? It's all up to you.

I can bring you more misery than words can tell,
Come take my hand; let me lead you to hell.

That poem is chillingly accurate.

[Cat]

[mishy]

OMG, that poem really does tell the story, doesn't it? The girl who wrote that is not exaggerating, even in the least...Crystal Meth is Satan and it wants to kill you
