Crystal Darkness

[Viking Kitten]

Sounds like a good name for a goth stripper.

"Gentlemen please welcome to the main stage Crystal Darkness!"

*cue Closer by Nine Inch Nails*
*this girl shows up*


Okay but really, if you're in Oklahoma unless you've live under a rock you know it refers to this: http://www.crystaldarknessoklahoma.org/

And the state's airwaves are getting taken over tomorrow at 6:30 p.m. so we can all watch a documentary about how meth is bad, m'kay?

I really have to wonder how effective this is going to be. Course it's not like I have any better ideas other than mandatory sterilization of methheads so I don't have to support their kids.

Anyone else want to weigh in?

It killed an ex-inlaw of mine. And by "it," I mean the tweaker that she escaped from treatment with -- to go do meth together -- killed her and left her body in a park. She was a really nice, bright person, and the downward spiral her life took after getting involved with meth was pretty astounding. It's an ugly, ugly thing.

This Might Come as a shock to some . I like My Booze , Ive Nevar seen the attraction Fer that Meth ****

In all my years...I have never seen a drug worse than this one.

It's methods of making have been transformed as the push to get it off the streets began to strengthen. What these folks are putting into their bodies is absolutely poison. They are slowly killing themselves and even if they stop after a time...I believe they are messed up forever.

There may be the occasional user who did it and didn't like it....but what I have seen usually is someone who gets hooked very quickly and can't stop until they have completely hit rock bottom, landed in jail or die.

Awful stuff.

I applaud the Gov. in his attempt to out the makers of this poison. They need to be put away.

It would make a sweet title for an '80s fantasy movie or an RPG, too.

Back in the mid-90's we used to do it farily regularly (it was called crank back then). I had a couple of buddies get hooked and become full on tweakers (scabs, extreme paranoia, etc), but I never did. I'd pull an all nighter and that was it for me. I don't see how people would stay up for 5-10 days in a row. The lack of sleep alone is enough to make you go insane (and is indeed the primary reason for the mental problems), not to mention the garbage going into your system. It's a bad, dirty, nasty drug, but I don't see any way to slow it down.

1 line of coke = 30 minutes bumping, then hard crash needing more
1 line of crank = 8 hours bumping, then crash

Same cost/gram

It's amazing to me that coke is even around any more...

I've got an extended family member hooked on this crap right now. She had all kinds of promise, but has basically decided to throw her life away. It's sickening. We told her over and over why she should stay away from the stuff, but she wouldn't listen. That's why I'm questioning whether showing a documentary about it will do any good.

Part of tomorrow night's campaign includes the state's 211 phone banks all on standby to take calls from people seeking help with meth addiction. I suppose if even a few people are helped it will have been worth it. I'm just a little bitter and cynical I guess.

Anybody remember when "Reefer Madness" came out? We had to watch it when I was in junior high. Scared me for about a week, then when my sister was in the backyard lighting up a cigarette that was yellow and telling me "don't believe that crap, here, take a hit..." the rest was history.

People are stupid. This has been documented. They're gonna do crack, crank, coke, and every other thing they can get their hands on. Some will survive, most won't.

For me personally though, I think weed is just as bad as meth. Seriously. No, you don't chain smoke, stay up for days without eating, twitch like a gerbil fixin' to get a one way ticket to some fag's large intestine, and steal from your own granny, but it kills you all the same. Just much more slooooooooowly.

With meth, in a few years you're homeless, penniless, toothless, friendless and better off dead. With weed, one day you wake up, you're 60 years old, and realize you just pissed away your entire life barely getting by. Each case is tragic.

It's about time we got a Reefer Madness for this century.

JINX!

[C&CDean]

Heh.

Who needs 30 minutes? Just give Pee Wee 60 seconds and he could stop people from doing meth, just like he stopped people from doing crack...

[SoonersEnFuego]

So this girl does meth???

I'd still hit it.

[BlondeSoonerGirl]

I was kinda surprised that it's only a 30-minute long program.

Hopefully, it'll impact at least a few people out there that are thinking about trying it or aren't too far gone just yet. From my experience, it won't even make a dent in the ones already all jacked up on it. But maybe it can help some folks somehow.

It's an evil thing. And if you've ever been close to it or seen/loved someone that was/is you know it's painful and destructive and horrible. Dang.

[jkjsooner]

Hasn't the new laws limiting certain decongestant sales to behind the counter been extremely successful in reducing meth use?

In a Word NO , the Cooks just go to Deadlier Ingredients

No. It HAS been successful in reducing the amount of meth made in Oklahoma. Demand is still high as ever. So now they're just trucking it in from Mexico.
