World's Most Dangerous Drug (2006)
"Meth really is the mother of all drugs. It's the cheapest, dirtiest and most powerful drug in existence today. It's also the fastest spreading. Meth doesn't kill its addicts immediately. The process is slow, during which it takes an extreme physical and psychological toll. Meth literally rots people's bodies—teeth, face and insides. Frankly, I was appalled by how ugly it made frequent users." -Lisa Ling
Locally we have a Police Task Force called "MAN". Multi Agency Narcotics. When I got out of police work directly in the mid eighties, Cocaine was just coming into the Georgia Market, I-75 was "Cocaine Alley" to transport it all over the country. Now, the same pipeline is used for meth. PCP, LSD, and Marijuana were popular...As was Quaalude's. Meth is a different animal, it is by far the worst drug on Earth as they show here. The MAN unit here in NE Georgia in my small town, consists of City, County Sheriff, State, and Federal Agents to battle the drug daily. We have over a 58% population of Mexicans, that continue to bring in the drugs....sounds like the film, after MAN has shut down numerous home or portable labs locally. The Meth Labs are so dangerous, the drug dogs cannot be taken near the chemicals, it destroys their noses permanently. We learned the hard way and retired many K-9's. Several labs have blown up in the county, with explosions as large as some I saw in Vietnam. Our once peaceful town, has become both a slum and a war zone. Rednecks or Mexicans, drugs are the common bond with the user's and dealers here. The fight continues....
