Last week, Mexican authorities busted up a drug warehouse in Jalisco and seized 15 tons of meth. From CNN:
The Mexican army has seized more than 15 tons of methamphetamine from a clandestine laboratory in a remote area of the state of Jalisco, west of the capital, the country's Secretary of National Defense said Thursday.
Also seized in the raid, which occurred Tuesday on the Villareal Ranch in the municipality of Tlajomulco de Zuniga, were materials that can be used in the production of the drugs -- including more than 2.5 tons of caustic soda, it said in a statement.
This is great news. People always warn you about the dangers of drugs, or complain about how the War on Drugs is a failure, but no one ever really differentiates between various types of drugs. It’s either “drugs are bad, mmmkay” or “the War on Drugs must end now!” Marijuana is harmless, but meth is a horrible drug that turns people into violent monsters. Somehow they’re grouped together. It’s like if America had a heartburn problem and we decided that you couldn’t have food anymore. Orange juice might sting the throat, but grain-based products are perfectly fine, Goddammit!
