Why Do Those Junkies Like That $%*??

Growing sick and tired of the propaganda perpetuated by idiots within the War On Drug Addicts, I would like to set a few, tiny facts straight. Thank you for your patience with me :)

Being high on meth does not make anyone's head shake or jerk back and forth. They don't run screaming through the house, twitching, yanking, and panting for breath.

Meth addicts do not collect their urine in jars so that they can then strain the drug from their pee when they run out of the drug. That is not even possible, and I know this for a fact, being knowledgeable about the manufacturing of the drug. What the cops found in a storage room where many jars of urine was stored is not a revolting example of addicts fearing withdrawals, folks.

It was most likely an attempt to produce phosphorous. Elementary phosphorus was first obtained through the distillation of urine. And adding one of two things (which shall remain nameless here) to urine helps free up the phosphorus from the urine.

Most meth addicts do not tie women up and leave them in motel rooms and come back whenever they feel froggy. And while we're at it, they don't feel froggy all the time, neither.

Throw away the entire movie Spun, and go ahead and throw out any Hollywood movie or show you have ever seen about meth, especially that weird cartoon with Keanu Reaves and Robert Downey, Jr.

Drugs change you, yes. But not to the degree that you can no longer follow the standard of morals or ethics in which you once did. My husband and I stopped on a road in Pinson, Alabama about 8 years ago to pull people from a van that had just been hit hard and knocked off the side of a steep hillside, right in front of our eyes.

The mini-van was being held above a thirty foot drop by two scraggly pine trees. We didn't hesitate climbing down and into the opening where the windshield had been, and helping hoist a young girl to safety. Then we stayed in the van until help arrived because the female driver was pinned by the steering wheel and terrified.

Now If that is not enough to show you drug addicts are still human even when high and strung out and at least 40 pounds underweight, consider the rest of the story: we stayed after help arrived and directed traffic right alongside cops, though we were aware that there was a $140,000.00 drug trafficking warrant on me and a slightly larger one on my husband.

We could have just as easily been on the other side of town robbing a store and murdering the clerk – no! We could not! Know why? Because drugs do not take away your ability to know what Jesus would do!. Drugs do not take away your sympathy for humanity, nor your beliefs about what is right and what is wrong.

I am sick to death of hearing things like, “Well, I needed a hit [crack] when I tried to pull off a home invasion and ended up killin' the fuckers." I actually heard a chic say that in Jefferson County jail in 2002. I almost vomited. The apathetic voice in her was pure evil. She claimed crack made her do it. I wish I had told her then that she was a damn liar! I wish I had said what I say now without hesitation: You had that cruelty inside you without the affects of drugs!

And what is more, she knows this. Addicts know drugs do not make a person incapable of making morally sound choices! But an impairment due to being high or screwed up or drunk automatically alleviates any wrongdoing on the part of the addict, at least in the addict's mind. We lie to ourselves easier than most people do.

I do believe horrible choices are made while fucked up, don’t get me wrong. But taking another life is way beyond a “you’ll-never-believe-what-i-did-i-was-fucked-up” tale.

And meth addicts already believe they have plenty of reasons to get high and escape from without more of society's never-ending labels. Don't you want addicts to clean up?

Stop perpetuating the lies that keep people apart.
