Interesting slide shows - thank you for posting the link to Dr.Rawson's work.

I posted something I'd read - that meth treatment has only a 10% success rate. I wish to retract that - Dr. Rawson specifically addresses that "rumor". He said that Meth treatment has equivocally the same success rates as any other drug.

The pictures of the meth users were absolutely astounding and heartbreaking. The hopelessness in many of their eyes was chilling.

When I walk into patient rooms in the FP, you can instantly distinguish smells of alcohol, marijuana, meth and etc... Kinda lets me know what I may be dealing with. But I agree, its rapidly taking over and its VERY scary!

Have you guys seen the film "Tweeked" has some of the most disturbing images I have ever seen? Shows what people on meth are capable of doing to their own children.
