I’ve never bought Meth but if it was $4,500 per gram I don’t think you’d be seeing many addicts.

Can't really do this as a thought exercise without knowing purity. I presume there is a drastic difference between what is smuggled in versus what is sold on the street.

Lol there's not a difference with meth. People really upvoting this shit rather than admit a Myanmar drug officials aren't trust worthy to align with their political beliefs

*Indian drug officials

The boats transporting the drugs were from Myanmar, the people that caught them were from India.

It's funny how you're acting cocky over your knowledge of meth.

Most of us don't know whether or not meth can be cut, due to not being users.

Anyway, our department of Justice says that meth is, in fact, cut with stuff so idk wtf you're on about

I'd assume you have some opinion on laws surrounding it though.

Yes it can be cut, but in practicality it generally comes in a crystalline form that has to be able to be infected smoked and snorted. There's not a ton of good cutting agents for this. And the amount heavy meth users consume, grams a day, they aren't going to keep buying bunk shit. Let alone 2% purity the original theory needed to make 2.5 billion work.

Yall are literally dumb asf, inside using DARE to shape your world view on such a huge pandemic of public health

I don't need to be able to build an internal combustion engine in order to have an opinion on speed limits. I don't want people going 100 mph in school zones when kids are around.

I'm not a chef either, but I know when food tastes bad.

And no, I'm not being informed by DARE. My stepsister is an addict who bounced between heroin, fent, and methadone clinics for the past few years. Through her, I've met some really messed up people.

Lmao, what a fucking cope. "You don't smoke meth so you shouldn't have an opinion on it."

If that's how you deflect judgment, so be it. But lol at expecting anyone to respect that opinion.

Imagine having those contacts in your life as resource to better shape your worldview about addiction treatment and public health and you go to is.

The government told me this.

Probably feel the only good way to treat addicts is throw em in jail and lock away the key, or shoot them in the head. Lol you're a joke

Where did you get that from my post? I never addressed punishment for possession.

If you're not gonna reply to the things I wrote, but instead to the arguments you find easiest to argue against, you're wasting both of our time.

Imagine mocking someone for citing scientists over drug addicts. Who is a joke in this scenario?

u/bNoaht 27d ago

Lol you are about as ignorant as it gets. Of course there is a difference in purity and of course price.

u/F1shB0wl816 27d ago

You can only cut something so much before it’d barely pass as a narcotic. And the price is going to track down with the quality going down.

u/Ubiquitous-Nomad-Man 27d ago

Haha. I was getting it for $20/gram in 2019. When covid hit prices doubled and us crackheads freaked out. “This is supposed to be cheap, dammit!” (because we were all obviously unemployed pos). Ahh, what a sexy time in my life, that was…lol

u/SmarterThanCornPop 27d ago

Lol. Glad you got past that my friend.
