Want Meth? Ask a Teenager

White House drug czar John Walters called a recent report that said 1/4 of teens, or 25% if that is easier to understand (fractions can be problematic), believed it was somewhat easy to obtain methamphetamines. To go even further, one third believe there was little risk in trying meth once or twice (which honestly would turn into nine days without sleep as your face melts off) and that there are benefits to using meth, including losing weight, coping with boredom and feeling happy.

I am pretty sure that John Walters job as drug czar is to STOP METH use, not encourage it. Try earning your paycheck John.

When Peaches Talks, You Listen

James Gilligan was doing the best he could to find the drugs. He stopped one 10 year old and took his bookbag. He stopped a school bus, took a 10 year old girls bookbag and took off. Gilligan, armed with knives, did all he could to grab as many bookbags as possible because he knew they carried drugs. There were no drugs in the bookbag. So who told him that their were drugs in the bookbags?

His poodle, Peaches.

Gilligan, who smoked meth earlier in the day to help him find these drugs, found himself numerous felonies and 20 misdemeanors for searching the children.
