Australian police seize record 2 tons of methamphetamine

What a bunch of trash. The big question is, who was paid off in the Emirates, to let it go through.

That's a lot of meth.

“The use, possession and supply of cannabis is illegal in all states and territories in Australia. It is also illegal to possess items used to take cannabis, such as bongs” according to Wikipedia.

Legalize marijuana like they've done in California. If people have a legal access to a relatively harmless and inexpensive way of getting high, fewer will turn to illegal and dangerous drugs.

Meth is a disgusting horrible drug if you get hooked it's not a matter if it will destroy you but when along with everything everyone you ever cared about I've seen some of the best people I know fall into the meth trap and never come back. Great job by Australian police but unfortunately meth is rampant in Australia this is the tip of the iceberg harsher penalties need to be put into place to deter the scum that deals in it personally one thing I really do like about China is the way they deal with drug dealers.

Meth is also dangerous to make and destructive in more ways than one. My grandparents' farm (over 100 years old, not occupied for decades) became a meth lab unknown to the rest of that rural town. Then one day KABLOOEY!, all my young kid memories gone. Scrap everywhere. The culprits took their ops elsewhere.

And the fact that this crap came by ships also proves another point. You don't hear anybody in Australia wailing for a wall to be constructed because they know that most dope comes from ships (and airplanes). Of course, here in the US you can ask the Coast Guard ('Coasties') and they would've told you that. Hell, back in the 80s the TV series 'Miami Vice' said that too.

An article on meth and I just can't resist bringing up Walter White/Heisenberg.

Prefer coffee anyway.

Just make sure that your coffee is not poisoned with ricin by Heisenberg, otherwise you might end up like Lydia.

The meth shipment might end up at the political doorstep and in someone's drink. There are people they dislike having good minds. If they have picked up your scent, never accept a drink socially, never drink from a glass that has left your sight and never have a predictable location for purchasing food.
