Opinions/Editorials Title: I confess - I had a real drug problem!!! The other day, someone at a store, in our town, read that a methamphetamine lab had been found in an old farmhouse in the adjoining county, and he asked me a rhetorical question, "Why didn't we have a drug problem when you and I were growing up?" I replied, "I had a drug problem when I was young. I was drug to church on Sunday mornings. I was drug to church for weddings and funerals. I was drug to family reunions and community socials, no matter the weather. I was drug by my ears when I was disrespectful to adults. I was also drug to the woodshed when I disobeyed my parents or told a lie, brought home a bad report card, did not speak with respect, spoke ill of the teacher or preacher, or if I didn't put forth my best effort in everything that was asked of me. "I was drug to the kitchen sink to have my mouth washed out with soap if I uttered a profanity. I was drug out to pull weeds in Mom's garden and flowerbeds and cockleburs out of dad's fields. I was drug to the homes of family, friends and neighbors to help out some poor soul who had no one to mow the yard, repair the clothesline or chop some firewood, and, if my mother had ever known that I took a single dime as a tip for this kindness, she would have drug me back to the woodshed." Those drugs are still in my veins and they affect my behavior in everything I do, say or think. They are stronger than cocaine, crack or heroin, and, if today's children had this kind of drug problem, America would be a better place. God bless the parents who drugged us!

#10. To: Palmdale (#3) The methamphetamine advocates aren't gonna like your post. You think there are meth advocates? Seriously?
#12. To: sneakypete (#10) The methamphetamine advocates aren't gonna like your post. ---------------------------- YesAll the drug arguments that have been compounded for pot can be applied to meth. Begin with, "It's not the goverment's or anybody else's business what people choose to put in their bodies.". Take the marijuanna arguments, cross out marijunna then replace it with meth and you get what's coming. Working beside someone using meth is real fun. You get someone that is excited because they took something that convinces them they're a genius, but who has an empty head and tries to implement all their illusionary ideas and fantasies at the rate of ten a minute.
#14. To: rlk (#12) The methamphetamine advocates aren't gonna like your post. If you really and truly believe that,you are either insane or stupid.
#24. To: sneakypete (#14) All the drug arguments that have been compounded for pot can be applied to meth. ------------------------- Why are you so angry and insulting? I didn't say I agreed with the arguments. I only said that they have become a socially approved established approach that will be utilized or transferred.
#26. To: rlk (#24) Why are you so angry and insulting? Because you are so profoundly wrong. I didn't say I agreed with the arguments. It sure read/sounded like it. I only said that they have become a socially approved established approach that will be utilized or transferred. Meth and speed freaks will NEVER be socially approved by anyone. Not even other drug users. Both are dangerous,and one is chemically psychotic,has feet and muscles,and dangerous to everyone,not just users. It really,REALLY pissed me off when idiots try to equate meth with marijuana. It's the equivalent of saying a firecracker and a hydrogen bomb are the same.
#28. To: sneakypete (#26) It really,REALLY pissed me off when idiots try to equate meth with marijuana. It's the equivalent of saying a firecracker and a hydrogen bomb are the same. Well stated. I know lots of recreational pot users - good people, hard workers, etc. Meth heads I avoid to the best of my ability.
#30. To: Fred Mertz (#28) I was on vacation a couple of years ago. I was talking to a guy on the street who sold time shares. No I don't want a time share. Something that he said stuck with me. He said he would rather hire a crack head then a drunk. He said a drunk can come and earn a few bucks then he has some money to spend. It takes just a little money and he can be out of it for a long time. He said a crack head is better to hire because they need to make more money to get their high, so they will work harder. I don't know why he told me this he just did.
Replies to Comment # 30. The crack and meth heads I hear about seem to be mostly poor, unless they produce and distribute it. In general, they are considered to be thieves and untrustworthy...at least that is what I hear. Speaking of drunks, it's happy hour. Ta ta.
