You gave two people $100 and told them to profit from it.
One guy puts $100 in savings bonds which will net him $11.59 a year from now. The other guy buys 10 grams of pot at $8/gram. and $20 worth of roling paper. He makes 40 1/4 gram spliffs and sells each spliff for $5, making himself $200. However, an undercover cop busts him for selling pot and is fined $150. With the $50, he buys $10 worth of dime bags and $40 worth of meth (about 5 grams). Each dime bag is worth $10 and contains 1/10 gram of meth. He makes $500 but is busted for selling meth and pays at $250 fine. He also gets a year probation for selling drugs.
Most definitely, the drug dealer profits the most. However, most of us would condemn how he made in total $450 but lost $200 due to fines and is on probation for a year. Instead, we would applaud the other guy who has savings bonds that will mature at $11.59 a year from now over the $100 he started with.
However, making $250 a year from selling drugs only nets you probation.
Think about that the next time you read of a drug dealer getting busted. Economics means he makes over 20 times as much money as the saving bonds guy.
Do you think he is going to sit around waiting for 11.59% profit when he can make 450% or more in profit from $100? Fuck no.
Legalize drugs now. Otherwise, once the sociopaths figure it out, there will be more drug dealers who profit because drugs are illegal.
Though 95% of people would rather invest in savings bonds.

Methamphetamine Use Trouble Spots (satire)
Depicted above are cities where methamphetamine has been reported as a problem.
If you live in these cities, then you might have met or seen a lot of people high on meth. YMMV
If you don't then that does not mean your country does not have a meth problem.
Currently the trouble spots nationally are the Philippines and Canada (see graphic below).
The above information merely charts mention of meth busts in cities and regions globally.
It is likely that if you are not a recreational drug user then you will not experience a problem with meth users or even meet a tweaker looking for meth crystals on the sidewalk while doing the "meth dance."
Here is the first of a series of three videos of Shane Nasty, the meth dancing bum:
On this youtube page to the right are other examples of meth addicts to peruse.
My conclusion on the matter of recreational meth use is that with the addictive personality, crystal meth is worse than crack cocaine or heroin. YMMV
However, psychiatrists routine prescribe methamphetamine or amphetamine for children with ADHD who rarely become drug addicts because they treat their medication responsibly. Though, people with undiagnosed ADHD have a high risk to self-medicate with alcohol and other substances of abuse. often, their self-medication may lead to drug abuse and a high risk of homelessness and poverty.
Thus methamphetamine is the post-modern day equivalent of chronic alcoholism, crack addiction, and heroin abuse.
My final word on the matter of meth abuse is, "Mmmm drugs (like alcohol, cocaine, heroin and methamphetamine) are bad."
SMART PEOPLE DON'T DO DRUGS, BUT SOMETIMES SUPPOSEDLY SMART PEOPLE STUPIDLY MAKE BAD CHOICES LIKE DRUG ABUSE.
YMMV

ADHD: Social Control Through Diagnosis and Medication (satire)
Within context of this article, the ADHD social construct consists of diagnosis by a trained professional after being referenced by a school psychologist. It also may include the use of ADHD medication and associated therapy in which both the child and his or her parents actively participate with an approved therapist. Overall, the actual intention of the ADHD diagnosis is to manage the behavior of children who are not compliant to the controlled school environment.
According to prevailing ADHD information, it is cheaper to medicate children diagnosed with ADHD than to provide therapy for them, considering that $200 of ADHD medication is cheaper than $1000 of therapy per year to the health insurance industry.
When methamphetamine is being used to treat ADHD along with the methamphetamine substitute Ritalin and the amphetamine Dexedrine and other ADHD drugs, what doctors who prescribe ADHD medication is actually doing is in effect manufacturing tomorrow's methamphetamine addict.
This is especially true of Desoxyn and Vyvanse users.
With the risk of addiction along with other side effects such as psychosis, I question the prescription of methamphetamine , amphetamine, and related ADHD drugs such as Adderall (a mixture of amphetamine and methamphetamine) Ritalin (a methamphetamine substitute), and Strattera (an ADHD medication purported to lack the side effects of amphetamine-like drugs but known to have behavioral side effects).
Often these ADHD medications are prescribed with the recommendation that they are "safe when used as directed". Yet the unrelated selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitor (SSRI) Paxil was prescribed with the same warning but has been exposed as addictive, given the inability of some patients prescribed it to withdraw from Paxil completely.
For the addictive potential for amphetamines has been known since being prescribed for ADHD in 1937. However, such medication have reduced or no risk on rates of substance abuse among people with ADHD. This is because long use of medication may lead to bipolar disorder and schizophrenia arising as the child with ADHD matures into adulthood. This may be a psycho-social side effect of the ADHD social construct rather than a result of an actual disease.
Indeed, the mental health industry may be motivated by the strong desire of the elites to control the masses through diagnosis and medication so that they may profit from the middle class being rendered compliant to social control through affordable medication that bring quicker profits than costly therapeutic approaches.

Methamphetamine Kills
Methamphetamine does not discriminate against bisexuals, gays, or heterosexual people. However, its use is high amongst gay people since it affects the libido.
Methamphetamine raises the blood pressure. This could lead to cardiovascular disease including risk of heart attack and/or stroke.
As well, methamphetamine turns on the body's thermostat.
This makes it difficult to concentrate, and when you do concentrate it's on ways to get a rush as a reward for it. In the quest to score more methamphetamine, impulse control goes down the drain. Caution is replaced with risky behavior — combined with heightened libido, you may abandon condoms for riding bareback. This will lead to the risk of getting sexually transmitted diseases or worse, AIDS.
If you don't get your reward, then you might get angry. That anger will both fuel and feed off aggressive behavior until it leads to confrontations with whomever may prevent you from getting another rush.
During regular use of methamphetamine, you sleep less, but this kind of insomnia is not under anyone's total control because even in the hypomanic stage of sleeplessness, your productiveness and friendliness is suspect.
When the bouts of insomnia last for days, there is a strong chance that mania will occur with psychotic breaks occurring which include hallucinations where you think there are bugs under your skin or paranoia where you think somebody is trying to spy on you.
Methamphetamine use will burn you out, and leave you irrational as though a raging beast is trying to get out. Your work productivity will be reduced because it is impossible to concentrate when the ambient temperature seems like 30° C when actually your body temperature is close to 40°.
Due to loss of appetite, women on methamphetamine will become anorexic to the point of the menstrual cycle stopping.
Because of the fire that's raging inside you, you start to dry out from inside out. Your skin shrinks, and your head turns grey. You lose your beauty and often your mind. What's worse is if you get AIDS, the disease will ravage you within months, due to reduced immune system, initially caused by methamphetamine and worsened by the disease itself.
Regarding the immune system, methamphetamine use reduces its function. As its function is reduced, human endoretrovirii (HERV) awaken and lower the immune system. When the AIDS virus infects you, it chemically signals the HERV to go into overdrive which lowers the immune system further, leading to cancer and TB.
In the end, you die from the secondary diseases due to a dysfunctional immune system. That is, if you don't die from a heart attack, stroke or suicide due to depression.
