Most of you guys are too young to have lived through the angel dust (PCP) craze of the late 60s and 70s. That was some scary violence all right. Fortunately, angel dust out of fashion now. Meth, oddly enough, has a much milder effect. Scary, yes. But the violence level is a lot lower and the triggers a lot higher.

wscholermann@aussie.zone 1 month agoYou’re not wrong. I saw one guy randomly headbutting a pole yesterday.
If you’re on meth in many cases you’re either going to be in prison, in some kind of hospital (normal or psychiatric), or on the streets.
Unfortunately at the moment option 3 is becoming a much more prevalent outcome.
If these folks were harmless that would be one thing, but people on meth can become scary violent.

we have to have a society with hope, where people have real chances at making a life worth living, so when they are offered choices they can choose to not have meth
the way things are now is not good

That’s very well put. I got into that world because of child trauma, but having grown up in poverty, I saw no reason to try to have a normal life.
