Meth Balls

Jessica Gawker sure is a cutie, especially when she's curled up in the fetal position and deliberately vomiting on herself to keep warm when she's got the shakes. Plus, have you ever seen her bare boobies? Yeah, me neither. Anyway, she has a darling factoid about the coverage of meth in the media and how "allegedly" there's been 8.87 articles a day that mention meth in the past month. One, does this include newspaper police blotters? Two, how could she fail to mention Blottered's role in covering the meth beat?? Jesus Horse Christ, we're the pioneers of the genre!! We even have our own in-house Meth Reporter, Jim "Mether Fuckin" Nachlin. Where else will you find discussion in the comments as insightful as ours? Tweak on this one:

Go (dexidrine) pills are being replaced in the military by modafinil (Provigil/Alertec) which has all of the anti-fatigue power but with a buzz less than that of cafeine, and essentially no potential for abuse. Modafinil had the biggest off-label prescription rate until earlier this year when the FDA looking at Army research, finally approved it for "exessive sleepyness," and "shift work sleep disorder," which are both code for fatigue from too little sleep.

People high on pot are just not a problem compared to the meth- and booze-impaired. I wish they'd take all the time and money spent against pot and use it to do someting about crystal meth. Why the hell is late-night TV filled with PSAs complaining that pot lowers sperm count (so? exactly what problem is spreading that bit of information supposed to solve? it's a feature if you ask me) and not one message against meth, which is actually sending people to the morgue at increasing rates throughout the country? Is it because pot smokers vote Democrat and write letters to the editor and meth addicts and drunks vote Republican if they even vote at all? Arresting drunks, crack-heads, meth abusers, and coke snorters is a public service. Arresting pot smokers is a complete waste of time (and too tempting because they're so compliant.)

Apparently modafinil is also effective crave-removing therapy for cocaine and amphetamine abusers. Look it up on MEDLINE. So, the obvious solution is immediately apparent.
