Drugs Can Kill

My running partner attended a DEA "fundraiser" for fallen agents yesterday where everyone who showed up got to fire a variety of weapons including, in Zach's case, three different kinds of machine guns. Plus, there was the agent with the handgun which fired a single 50-caliber bullet.

They even got to practice breaking into a meth lab. They said that most of the guys who cook this stuff up are not rocket scientists, the chemicals are so bad that they're all losing their teeth, and a lot of them die in prison after they're arrested. They also have to use special cell phones that won't possibly trigger an explosion with all that lethal stuff brewing.

Most interesting? One of the DEA agents said that he had told his own kid that if he ended up on drugs he'd kill him because at least he'd know "how he died." I'm assuming he was exaggerating for effect, but if I were his kid, I'd stick to a beer on weekends...

Well Bryce if you remember I'm from Spokane, WA for awhile we had the title "Meth Capital Of The World". Now the stuff is being brought up from Mexico.

I learned way too much about meth labs from being in the Navy. They showed us what a gram looks like of the stuff, and how it was enough to get 32 of us high for two hours. Far as the tooth loss is concerned we have a term for that in Spokane "meth mouth"!
