Which drug is more Dangerous to the American Way of Life

As I see it America is facing a crisis with two very destructive drugs.

1. Meth

2. Crack

Which do you think is the most dangerous and out of control in terms of use?

Which should the government concentrate on first in the war against drugs?

Clearly prohibition has had lasting affects on our culture. At one time pot was on the forefront of the early "war". Now (as I think it should be) it is somewhat tolerated like alcohol. Where will we be in 100 years?

One hit on the crack pipe? Sounds like a conservative estimate.

Hookers & crack!

$1.2 bil, that's a lot of hookers & crack!

Are you helping techweiner smoke the crack in his pipe? Where do you guys get this stuff?

Ron Brown was so crooked, when the plane crashed, he corkscrewed 20 feet into the ground! And here we have the king of the crack pipe thechweiner, setting us straight.

I finally figured it out. The pipe you're smoking is filled with crack!


Let's see, you are posting things that you imagine about me with ZERO to back it up & I'm a troll? Put down the crack pipe & step away from the torch!

Are you on crack? What the hell are you even talking about?

Quit picking on Amy. She had a perfectly good excuse for smoking that crack. She said she had just eaten 6 valiums & needed something to perk her up!

Arbitrary my ass! 18th century France, one of the great civilizations of mankind. Are you on crack? Again my straight flush beats your pair of 2's.

Are you on crack?

Dude, we were talking about women who didn't go nutz & you post Whitney Houston? Drugs by the boxcar load, Bobby Brown beating her for amusement, skinny as a Biafran crack head, Did I miss something?

Are you on crack?
What you say is tantamount to a white guy saying,"I think I understand the KKK philosophy.

Is there crack in your pipe? Clinton spent 8 yrs looking for some strange & ignoring terrorists?

You might as well have given them some crack.

And by the way, when I spend $70K for a POS like that, look for the crack pipe in my hand.

I'm getting your position. Jihad is our fault.. Is crack legal where you live?

Do you smoke crack all the time or just most of the time?

Have you considered changing your name to ON CRACK?

This thing is a VW w/ a plastic body. Put down the torch & step away from the crack pipe.

Put down the torch and step away from the crack pipe!

So we transported 500 sucesfully & hundreds more died on the way? Put down the torch & step away from the crack pipe.

So there's no suche thing as al queda? Yeah, thats the ticket. There was no such thing as naxism either. Let me repeat. Put down the torch & step away from the crack pipe.

Do you mean as opposed to being compared to hitler as the dems are currently doing? Put down the crack pipe & step away from the torch.

Tech, put down the crack pipe & step away from the torch!


Well, I think the evidence clearly shows that it is crack. Actually I'm being lazy. I didn't do a search for meth.

That list smacks of PLENTY of effort. Mule must really be getting to ya.

Speaking of smack, both crack and meth are worse.

Other than my bit of brevity, the threat is an honest one.

Personally I think Meth is the more destructive of the two. I'd rather see LE concentrate less on the dude buying an Oz or two of "medicinal" and get concentrated busy on the horse smuggling and the meth labs springing up all over the midwest.

I'm doing all that I can with my girls to guide them clear of the rocks. BUt, as they say...we all die alone.

Naw! Time flies when you are having fun. The familiarity of the pattern dawned on me after I was accused of crack use. Out of curiosity I did the search on the word and the result was too beautiful not to share. Actually there were 50+hits! Maybe 5-10 were of another use of the word crack.

He's a regular dealer and it looks like he has some regular customers too.

Funny. That was recently in the news recently. Didn't some student take a poll as to the dangers of dyhydrogen monoxide? Most respondents agreed.

A mere extension of Leno's man on the street segments.

Crack and meth use are just symptoms of a society's shortcomings. In the future, crack and meth will replaced by other drugs. On the manufacturing level, dealers will push new drugs that are more potent. easier to synthesize and/or cheaper to manufacture.

If our society tackles the reasons why people gravitate toward drugs, we've got a chance. However, current thinking is it's easier to throw money at enforcement and incarceration. Our prison population is busting at the seams with drug-related inmates. In 2006, the US govt. spent $6,149,144,050* to imprison drug offenders.

Why choose? Hang all the dealers and throw all the users into rehab prison.

Agreed however, you have to deal with the current situation while trying to tackle the future or it will get out of hand fast. I'd just as soon not see the small time pot guys in the hooch if it meant more of the really bad guys could take their place.

Rehab prisons? that's a great idea. But we don't have any. We currently subscribe to the other kind.

Freon

I recall teens in Va Beach were huffing freon from condo A/C units some years back. A friend ran out and caught one with a wrench and baggie. He said the kid was so wasted he could not even speak. He just stood there shaking with his mouth hanging open. SAD...

Perfect example of the ingenuity of those that will find any way to get high.

Pretty soon I'll have to by my Salvia plants over the counter.

Either that or dangerous, toxic nitrogen gas. Don’t want to breathe any of that!
