My turn to rant: Meth heads screwed me again.

[Great-Kazoo]

Now ya need to leave the bathtubs and nylons out of this. And any person should know that it takes lime to release the coca from the leaf. I did not stay in a holiday inn but I did spend 7 months in Bolivia.

If the feds have never pushed RICO the 1%ers would still have their hands in it and lot more QC. Keeping the white trash and cartels out of it. From what i read.

I've seen more heroin in the last month that I moved jobs to Lafayette than I did in 3 years in Loveland. Kinda crazy how much that varies regionally.

The H epidemic was rampant and still is on the east coast. Just wait till the uptic job market / economy takes that one last shit. Then see how bad it gets. Those guns r bad folks will be sucking any and everyones dick for protection.

The article I heard talking about the rise in heroine was basically saying that it used to only be in the cities, and now it is every where.

I'd use me a heroine anytime.

It's everywhere. Unfortunately like the non-existent GANG problem the LE's of CO ignored, it's become too big for them to handle. However the best way to get fed funding is to have a "Problem".

Isn't there a song about that? Put the lime in the coconut...., oh, wait... nevermind.

Fitz, that really sucks, for all involved. Good luck.

I'm all for people doing whatever to their body so long as it doesn't hurt anyone else... but meth, damn those people are just f'ing stoopid. I understand cocaine, marijuana, I can even understand heroin to an extent.. but meth? it's like licking toilets at the chili convention for a high.

You do realize that it's our very laws against drugs in this idiotic war on drugs that makes these increasingly dangerous drugs gain popularity, right? People want to get high and if you make something more expensive/illegal to get then someone will invent something else and they're not using high-end ingredients to create things with either. There's a window before 'the man' figures out what people are using to get high in order to make it illegal and during that time it's affordable & easier to get/use. If pot & cocaine were still legal you wouldn't see most of these nasty ass drugs being so popular today. Yeah war on drugs!

Sorry for what you're going through OP and I can understand your frustration but death penalty for someone who made a free choice to use their body how they seem fit? Seems like the epitome of government overreach to me.

Crazy, I didnt even know that was a thing.

And it's gonna get even worse with "legal" MJ here now.
I can't wait to see the population explosion this summer with every homeless dope head migrating here for the summer months.
I hate this state anymore....

Being clueless about drug testing houses, so what? What are the short/long term effects of meth use residue? Can it be cleaned/removed? Curious.

[centrarchidae]

The long-term effects are that toxic chemicals get absorbed into the walls. Phosgene, phosphine, anhydrous ammonium, solvents ranging from relatively tame ones like alcohol to relatively nasty ones like methyl-ethyl-ketone, white phosphorus, and a few other unpleasant things.

Levels range from barely-detectible (but maybe still dangerous given long-term exposure such as that from living in the house) to "nuke the site from orbit, it's the only way to be sure."

At the cheap end, the house needs to be gutted and all of the drywall and floors and ceilings replaced. At the expensive end, the entire place needs to be leveled and the debris handled as hazardous waste.

The real bitch here is, whoever owns the property when the contamination is discovered, also owns the clean-up bill, under Federal environmental laws. (RCRA, IIRC).
