You do realize that the highways are full of truckers using meth (crank) every day right? I hope that most people are not naive enough to think that a large percentage of the people all around you in life are not on some kind of drugs all day long.
The newest trend is prescription drugs...but trust me: Every time you ride down the highway and you see those big ass 18 wheeler semi-trucks you are looking at a the big possibility that the guy is on meth behind the wheel.
Have any of you ever done methamphetimine? Or even know first hand what it feels like? Or do you just read the propaganda put out by the govt./pharmaceutical companies (who want you to pay for THEIR stuff instead)
Imagine drinking 20 cups of strong coffee real fast. Or taking 3 or 4 mini-thins. And then staying awake for a couple of days straight feeling that way the whole time.
That's pretty much meth. It's speed for you un-drug-educated people out there. A LOT of people in a lot of walks of life use it to get work done.
I don't like it because it doesn't get you "high" like doing cocaine will. And it lasts a couple of days in which you don't sleep or eat. So it's not the most healthy thing in the world.
But yeah...I could see where guys working oil rigs for long shifts in the middle of the ocean would definitely be taking speed. Makes sense. Not sure it has anything to do with the oil rig blowing up. From what I read there were some other issues that the workers informed BP about and were ignored by company brass.
But if the company chiefs at BP can get out of trouble by blaming the workers on site for taking speed (which has probably been going on since the first oil rig ever was built) then I'm sure they will push that to the front to save their own sorry asses.
