Before I stopped watching TV there were a lot of PSA's appearing. It's a big problem around here.

Pretty much the big reason it was started here. There are tweakers everywhere, and quite frankly, it's much cheaper and easier to get than anything else. I have seen a few people loose control of their lives through it.

I heard how people are making meth now, just "shake n bake". 2 liter bottle cooking up enough to scrape up a few hits. It's making the problem worse because it's even easier to make and common products are main ingredients.

Meth zombies are frightening. It's a good reason for a CCW.

Having said that:

No PSA's that I've seen, but alot of stuff on the news about it constantly. Also made it a real pain for me to get motrin for my daughter when she was running fevers. Had to fill out 4 pages of freaking paperwork to get a small bottle of children's pain reliever...all the while she's screaming and crying and running 102 fever.

It's all over the air in Hawaii, and several other states.

Same ads, too.

Motrin is Ibuprofen, no? You have to fill out pages of paperwork to get OTC Ibuprofen in TX????

Around here it's sudafed and other cold remedies with ephedrine in it. I'm not sure how it works but they keep it under lock and key and you have to show ID. They probably do a slight background check and I think you are limited to how much you can buy at one time.


Slightly OT: lately around here people have been holding up pharmacies for Oxycontin,...which is an opiate based painkiller. The pharmacies have had to install time based safes to keep their Oxy in.

Meth is real bad in my County, worst in Canada. There isn't any program like that, just the police task force. Which, surprisingly, is starting to do a lot of good. Although it is mainly a production problem here.

My apologies from the meth capital (in terms of both production and usage) of the United States; that's my whole state, not just my town.

We've had PSAs for years, since I was in high school. The billboards they're running at this point are extremely graphic...Use meth, and you won't haveto worry about getting lipstick on your teeth again, while showing a girl with rotten meth teeth, etc. There's another one about not worrying about clear skin that shows a girl clawing her own skin off. Looks like a horror movie trailer. I hope they're effective; I've seen enough to know that those aren't exaggerated photos.

They're still running the "meth, not even once" ads, in addition to others here, too, and some specifically targeting the Reservations around the area. I think it may be the scourge of my generation, and the one behind it.

We have our ' tweak heads ' here in Nebraska too. Shake and Bake is the current popular method of manufacturing, especially in hotel rooms in Omaha. We also seem to be ' bust central ' on the I-80 pipe line that runs through the state for both meth producers and big haul weed transporters. Our State Troopers catch these clowns with as much regularity and ease it seems, as shooting fish in a barrel.
