Meth Heads

[RiverRat1]

Spend some time in Oregon if you want to see what meth does to people.I think everyone does it there.They will rob you blind and you cant do anything about it.The whole west coast needs to fall off in the ocean..

Don't worry, since they can't hold a job they all get 100% free healthcare paid for by the tooth fairy.

one thing leads to another. This is the worst prescription drug out there and many college kids get hooked on this stuff. Seen it in my own extended family.



Adderall abuse


what is adderall?

Adderall is a combination of amphetamine and dextroamphetamine that is used primarily to treat the symptoms of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (adhd). It has benefits with sleep disorders and reported, off-label utility in managing some forms of severe depression as well.

This drug is classified as a central nervous system stimulant, which means it speeds up and heightens certain bodily processes. Adderall is an oral medication prescribed by a physician who will normally start a patient on a low dose to avoid unwanted side effects, gradually increasing it as necessary.

Adderall abuse occurs in several ways including:

Taking a higher dose of the substance than prescribed.
Taking the medicine through a non-approved method like snorting.
Taking the drug for reasons other than medical need, such as to stay awake for long periods of time.
Taking the medication more frequently than prescribed.
Taking someone else’s medication.
Purchasing the drug from an illicit source for recreational use.

Doctors that prescribe this stuff should know better. Once a person is hooked on this stuff they go on to the meth.

yep

It's about all we see on the street, though heroin is making a comeback. I bet we arrest 50-1 meth over any Penalty Group 1 drug (cocaine/heroin/etc). It's most certainly an epidemic and the days of labs have come and gone due to Mexico increasing their production over most any drug.

Meth heads are everywhere in Gun Barrel city/ Cedar creek lake! I swear the people of walmart videos are made there!

So, they should stop making/ prescribing Adderall?? This is the only "drug" that we have found that controls our daughters seizures and we have tried every current anti-epileptic drug on the market before trying Adderall. Yes, people abuse this drug but there are a lot of people out there that don't and it helps them to live a normal daily life! Just because a legitimate drug is being abused by a percentage of its users doesn't mean that it should stop being prescribed or used. My daughter is 9 and in public school, I guess I better start checkin her backpack to make sure she hasn't moved up to meth!
Effectively enforce the laws we have in place instead of creating new laws that don't do anything but make some lawmaker feel good and win them votes from their supporters that wanted another new "feel good" law being passed! People are going to abuse anything that they choose to whether it's aspirin to enemas (yea, look it up geesh). Do we need to make possession of Bayer Aspirin a felony?

Read carefully. I never said it should be banned or taken off the market. I do know first hand that it is abused and that's bad.

I wonder how many people, especially young people, could have different stories if they had something else in their life they got a 'rush' out of? Heck, my heart goes crazy if a 50lb hog steps out or a flock of ducks lock up on my spread.

Take a kid hunting or fishing!

I think prescription pills are probably more common than people realize. I have a cousin that was on them. Being addicted to those is just as bad. People lie like no other and steal for them too. And I guess it just depends on what they take I guess but I've seen how people addicted to pills act when they're using. It's scary....they act weird. Big time. I remember one time my cousin stayed at my house. I was asleep and heard someone in the kitchen so I got up. She started talking to me but I have no idea what she said. I went back to bed but I couldn't sleep. She just walked through the house all night occasionally looking in every room in the house. It freaked me out big time.

Yes.

That DOPE is terrible. Unfortunately my mother and sisters lives have been ruined by pills. They will lie and steal to get a pill. I have cut ll ties with them. My sister has been in prison multiple times for stealing prescription pads and stuff from doctors.

Couldnt agree more man.

Kush is not lab made, its just a weed strain from the middle east.

It's the brand name of that gas station stuff, the street name kinda evolved with it and it stuck. That's what the kids call it in Austin anyway

I was talking to my wife about that yesterday on the phone. I defuse bombs for a living, currently in AFG. Blackout night mission under NODs, diving off roads getting shot at with machine guns. Making bombs safe in the direct face of the enemy. I still dont get a rush like I do while hunting.

[Burntorange Bowhunter]

Bubba Kush is the strain of real weed. It's hydro though, not "real" weed if you please. LOL.

Buddy has a lake house in Gun Barrel, there are some zombie looking people walking around there

I watched Drug Inc last night.

It was called Texas Meth or something like that. It showed how the Meth goes from Houston to Austin for "festival season" and showed all the players involved, well, in masks of course.

I was amazed how much they were moving and they weren't hardly even a fraction of the monster. That drug is BAD news and will only get worse it seems.

I had my fun when I was young but dang I stayed away from those ones that could hook you bad.

Watched that show for the first time recently and SMDH. Politically I have moved closer to my libertarian friends but I just can't get on board with legalizing drugs. I too have seen what drugs do to people.

It's not always low life people or dumb people that get into that stuff. I'm not defending it in any way but some folks that are like everyone else fall into that. Truck drivers get into meth alot. I know that alot of guys that got hooked on it back when meth wasn't very well known were misinformed about how dangerous it really was.

This is real talk.... and so sad. I've seen it happen to someone I could NEVER imagine it could happen to. I also learned you don't have to be skinny and toothless to be an addict. When the pain med prescriptions stopped the addiction didn't, so they moved on to other things.

Plenty of money and time on their hands made for a deadly combination.
