Quote From: lagreen123Not to many people know anything about meth..I know from first hand experience.. It is very hard to kick the habit, it's even harder when u start banging it (shutting it in your veins). Everyone thinks that rehab is the answer to it and it's not! It is a quick fix and thats it. If you do not have a good enough reason to kick the meth then you wont quite. Meth is a whole different drug out there on the streets. There are so many different kinds and new ones coming out every day. Each effects you different. You get different highs with each one..All the rehab will do maybe is get him clean for the moment and give him the tools to help fight his addiction, maybe.. it will have to come from with in himself if he really wants to quite. And for his wife not leaving him ...well maybe she loves the man and like the rest of the world held out hope that he would stop! So what if she was a nurse that and 2 cents gets you no where! she didn't know nothing about the drug because she has not ever used it!!! so how is she suppose to know just because she's a nurse..please!! You can use the stuff and people around you will never know! Not a cop,nurse or doctor...Unless it's to the extreme use as her husband did...

And herein lies one of the biggest scandals of our time IMHO. We currently have a system that does absolutely nothing to protect drug users from the added risks of buying drugs off the streets.
Heck, they could be buying and snorting the next wave or terrorist attack in the form of some kind of biological weaponry. Just think about how easily a terrorist could disseminate some form of slow acting disease throughout the populace in the form of some kind of prohibited street drug that has absolutely no kind of FDA safeguards in place.
Sad, but our drug addicts are spat upon by the system and treated as pyriahs and second class citizens unworthy of the safeguards that you or I take for granted.
