It’s really not so horrible at all, but we’re told it is so that it stays demonized, and this way people can still be arrested for possessing it without a prescription, which generates a lot of revenue.

The worst thing about non-prescription, or illicit, methamphetamine are the legalities associated with it. It’s bad because it’s illegal - when you haven’t got a prescription for it, that is.

Methamphetamine is regularly prescribed to children as young as three years old. If it’s such a horrible poison, how could they be giving it to babies? The answer is simple and obvious: they’ve been lying to us about it.

This substance, and the laws attached to it (which ruin people’s lives), has pretty much identical effects to Adderall, a medication that is praised by thousands for having the exact same effects that people get from ingesting methamphetamine, but it’s demonized, and Adderall definitely is not. Why should that be the case? It shouldn’t, but it sure is, isn’t it?

The only reason anyone ever tried making methamphetamine illicitly is that the doctors were no longer able to prescribe it as easily as they’d been doing for decades, and people figured out how to get it another way. That’s the way prohibition will always work, because prohibition is complete bullshit and it never works as intended.

Drugs being illegal makes a mountain of cash annually for the police and other government agencies, and that’s why some drugs are illegal to possess without a prescription, like with methamphetamine. It’s always about money, every time.
