Our rehabs are full of meth addicts!

I wouldn't apologize for that.
Some drugs take us to hell faster than others.

I survived 26 years of meth use. Some can't tolerate their first hit.
"A drug is a drug" is certainly applicable when we look at the end results - heroin addicts are just as dead as alcohol addicts, just as in jail as crack heads, and just as insane as meth addicts when they finally go down, aren't they?

I used a lot of different drugs, that's a fact. Cocaine pushed my to the ground, I got back up, Meth knocked me to the floor, I got back up... and Meth finally had me on me knees, begging for relief.

Had it not been meth, it would have been something else for sure (Probably cocaine.) Meth damaged me, that's a fact - I believe had it been cocaine, I would have physically recovered much more quickly than I have from meth. I may be wrong, but I do believe that cocaine is easier to overdose with than meth is. Alcohol - lets talk about THAT - Alcohol kills more people than meth or cocaine - both the alcoholic, and those the alcoholic kills via drunk driving, violence (Alcohol is the drug most often associated with violent crime - look it up!)

All drugs have different effects, negative effects, and some are worse than others for sure. Meth WAS THE DRUG THAT TOOK ME OUT - I am very clear on that point!

But I don't believe any drug deserves "Special" recognition - a drug is a drug when we are trying to recover - we're addicts... the drugs we use are just a symptom of a bigger problem - US.

Addiction is the problem. I really believe that, and I really believe there are underlying issues that we share that get us started using in the first place, and a disease called addiction that KEEPS us using well after we should know better.

But yes, I agree with you on one thing - METH has properties that are unique to meth... as does any other drug out there. METH is the drug that I used the most - the one I traded my life away for.
