i would say forcing him to eat a lethal amount of meth.

but something tells me that would only make him happy.

So many good people out there struggling to have kids and these have no problem getting kids and raising them in deplorable circumstances... hope this guy never sees the light of day....

I have to wonder if he has enough teeth to do it. So sad.

bo have you seen some of the drugs out there?

i mean people are taking stuff that literally eats away at their skin and muscles. its crazy.

i agree. just wonder what the best method to accomplish that is.

the war on drugs didnt work. cant sweep through the drug dealers cause they pop up like roaches. take one off the street, two more show up.

and yea never mind the fact that drug dealers can only sell based on demand. its almost a waste of time to target the operations, cause while it provides temporary relief, its only relief in that specific area. and again, cooking meth requires a basic knowledge of chemistry, which aint much apparently.

the problem keeps getting worse and worse when it comes to this man made nonsense.

There is no solution to the drug problem. Next.

First we need to find out why they're doing this. There's a certain 'rebellious glamour' to it for one. Remember how 'cool' you felt at your first party getting drunk in high school? That's where it starts for some.

My guess is the main problem is that these people haven't got much hope of a future so they don't care what they do to themselves. Poverty/poor education, weak family structure, not a recipe for success.

I painted for a guy back in '01, (I remember it because it was during the whole Bush/Gore recount thing). He was a toxicologist, talking with a kid that was selling himself so he could get his fix. Asked him why he did this to himself. The guy told him that his older sibling was aborted so he figured his life was a coin toss.

It all starts at home.

whats more cost effective? the eradication of drugs, or creating a drug that achieves the users end result without the physical - and often destructive - dependency on it?

just putting it out there.

CHS's utopia where we are all the same and take our meds on time.

Damn, thats pretty meth up.

A hungry Indiana child died after eating 180 times the lethal amount of methamphetamine — which he thought was a breakfast cereal, according to reports.

Eight-year-old Curtis Collman III woke up early on June 21 and told his dad, Curtis Gilbert Collman II, that he wanted something to eat, the man told authorities, WDRB reported.

Collman II, 41 said there was no food in the Seymour house. But there was meth, that he left on a clear glass plate, he told authorities, the outlet reported.

Meth can be crystal like, or brownish in color and could have been mistaken for cereal in low light, the outlet noted.

The child ate a staggering amount of the drug — 18,000 nanograms — toxicology results released this week revealed, the Seymour Tribune reported.

Collman II, 41, noticed his son was feeling sick around 10 a.m. and asked a friend to come over to help check him out, according to police documents obtained by NBC-Wave3.

But instead of taking the boy to a hospital like his friend suggested, Collman II allegedly ripped her cell phone away, pointed a gun at her head and screamed “I’m not going back to prison,” the Seymour Tribune reported.

He allegedly threatened to shoot her, himself and the boy if she called 911, the outlet reported.

The father then picked up his son and allegedly rushed to his mother’s house instead of a hospital, according to WAVE TV.

When they arrived, the boy began turning blue and his grandfather eventually called authorities.

The boy was taken to the Schneck Medical Center, where he later died.

The dad is facing a slew of charges, including neglect that led to the death of a dependent and possession of meth, reports said.

A bond reduction request was barred by a Jackson County judge Friday. He faces up to 40 years in prison if convicted. A trial is set for December 4.

The child’s grandparents were devastated.

“We all wake up in the morning thinking about him and we go to sleep at night thinking about him,” the boy’s heartbroken grandmother, Rita Cook, told ABC-WLOX. “He was just a good little boy.”

He is remembered as a fun-loving kid, who especially liked riding bicycles, riding his scooter, watching SpongeBob SquarePants and playing Minecraft, a video game.

“He was a Minecraft tutorial person — he could tell you anything about Minecraft,” said Cook. “He just loved life. He never was still; he constantly moved and just never was still.”

Meth is a major problem in the area, which made up for more than one-third of the county’s arrests, WLOX reported.

“The meth is still our, hate to say it, drug of choice,” Jackson County Sheriff Mike Carothers said.

Maybe stricter drug laws starting with Marijuana.

Are you joking?

Not sure what Marijuana has to do with meth......... I haven't gotten high (on pot) in probably two years (and was an avid smoker who went down to a very occasional smoker to a not at all smoker). So i can say with a completely clean head, Marijuana and Meth are two totally different drugs in two totally different ball parks.

But IMO changing marijuana drug laws would do nothing for meth. No more than changing alcohol laws at least

Marijuana is a gate way drug.

Same with coffee.

Or sugar.

Marijuana gives you the munchies which you get fat so you need diet pills which leads to...METH.

Or sugar.

Maybe I need to upgrade to the THC tea, because Im not getting the pain relief promised to me in studies.
