Meth manufacturing is rampant in Oklahoma. If a person is
unaware of the consequences and uses it, they will soon find
themselves with decaying teeth, weeping sores and meth induced
psychosis. There is a loss of contact with reality, delusions, paranoia and hallucinations.
One would think that in a quiet suburban household like ours,
that it would never touch our lives but it has . My nephew,
a good looking, bright young man with a masters degree in
xray technology is in jail for the second time because he
is unable to leave it alone. He has, in effect, lost touch
with reality and lost his medical license as well.
Last night, my favorite sister in law called and told me tha
our niece had unwittingly been living in an apartment that
had a meth cooker next door. The cooker set the apartment
complex on fire, killing his sister, and fled. My niece had
renters insurance but all her belongings are damaged and she
had to move back home.
Evidently the drug is easy to make but highly volatile.
Some of the ingredients are alarming. Lye is one and
cold tablets are another. I find it hard to believe that
people would inject it into their bodies or snort it like
cocaine.
