a lot of kids dont know what it is and all this media coverage is putting in the minds of youths who might now think lets try that. they could have just changed it to class A and not make such a fuss.is this just the goverments way to intruduce another drug to society?

I have two nephews who are on and off of it. It has changed their personalities quite a bit. Right now they are trying to quit again. One lost his wife and 3 kids over it. He was very paronoid all the time lost about 40 pounds and quite a few teeth in about a year. The other has no choice as he is in jail now. It's posion. look up what it's made from lol draino can't be good for you or fun to snort or smoke can it? But you all knock yourselves out. I saw pictures of peoples brains after use for over 2 years. Can anyone say swiss cheese?

making a fuss about a drug in my opinion doesnt per say make the drug more or less popular.
meth has been around now for over a hundred years and like all illicit drug use; it will rise and fall based on the current using generation and how they precieve it.
as long as there is something dangerous and unwise there will be a human( in paticular a teen) willing to use, abuse, set it on fire , or jump off it
but imho bringing to light the ravages that meth can do to a person can only be a good thing in the long run even if it might bring about a small spike of useage in the short term

As above, I'd love to try it too, probably the only drug left I've not really played with. Is the media coverage a bad thing? I don't think so, I think people learn about drugs more from friends than the media. There's only ever a certain amount of supply for the demand, so no harm done.

No, it doesn't look too glamorous from what I've seen.
I wonder why you think so many kids don't know about this. It has wreaked so much havoc on society at large, it is not possible to be unaware of it.
A judge here in the Monterey area of California was recently quoted as saying that at least two-thirds of the cases he deals with would not even exist if Meth were to disappear entirely.
While I don't believe all of our Government agencies to be wholesome and innocent, I sure don't see a logical place for conspiracy theory here.

It's the liberal media controlled by the liberals which produce all the hype and present it to the youth...

In the sort term yes, but I think it will become less popular in the same way the CB craze died down in the 80's

Yep, I 'd love to try it but it's quite hard to get in Scotland still. Unless you are in Glasgow or Aberdeen of course.
I think it is a bit like HD TV. Everybody wants to be HD ready but it's not available yet.

Go back to putting up shelves in your garage, but when your done you have to quit. It is really really unhealthy mentally and physically.
