Ever since my encounter with the paranoid Lowe's employee, I have had many questions about the drug methamphetamine he mentioned, so of course I did some surfing.
An interesting thing I discovered was that one of the notorious things this substance has been used for
was enhancing the performance of certain soldiers in WWII: http://www.methproject.org/answers/what-is-meth.html?gclid=CJrW662xoLkCFWpp7Aod5xwAQA#The-Origins-of-Meth
This led me to a notorious thought: O.K. so rather than rehab, why not send all of the cranked up freakers out to whatever unofficial war we are involved in at the moment? They could be a terrific first wave social disruption if nothing else, and rather than wasting a bunch of money on them continously, it could be just a one time expense. Yeah, instead of spending enormous monetary efforts on expensive weapons tech and all of the educated brain power that has to operate it, and wasting nice young men and women in dangerous places, why not send another type of dangerous to those areas and let the locals deal with that problem? We put the drug back to work with it's intentional purpose, put the people on the drug to work (albeit most likely short lived) and save a wad of social service & war on drugs dollars. Seems win-win to me. O.K.-time for me to go cackle over a cup of lavender tea.
