So I find out yesterday that one of my nephews is a big meth dealer

Great. Ordinarily I don't care about what people want to do to themselves, and I'd really be a hypocrite putting him down, but this stuff is fucking nasty.
It's only a matter of time before the cops kick his door down, these people snitch on each other like nothing I've ever seen, I think these meth freaks must be repukes.

1. yup, only a matter of time...

2. a few years ago I found out one of my ex-boyfriends was

hooked on meth. Then last summer I saw where he got busted for spraying Bob Dylan graffiti on about 30 businesses in a small town in California. So weird. I mean, he's in his late thirties...such a strange thing to be doing. I hope he gets straightened out.

3. It's also dangerous to his physical health, not only to USE meth but to

have a lab in his house that he's exposed to regularly.

The chemicals are noxious and can have severe health hazards even on nonusers who are exposed.

It's a major fire hazard.

Not to mention all the other obvious consequences of use, both legal and health wise.

It seems to destroy users' brains more rapidly than anything I've seen.

4. We've had a few labs go boom

around here, i understand he's more of a middleman though. Still it's a nasty business to be involved in.

5. When I lived in San Diego, whenever I heard about mysterious fires in

trailer homes in East County where no one notified authorities for hours, I thought "meth lab".

6. My friend's brother just died from that crap

It's evil shit. A 44 year old father of two basically killed himself over that shit. :cry: What a waste.

7. Meth is horrible and it will be the death of my niece. I feel for you.
