what? Over A few hours? Thats not coming down for meth addicts herb, methheads take months to come down,  some, never. With hardcore addicts, thats it, does something to the frontal lobe Im sure, because they display the same lack of control that many people with FAS do, we know those with FAS have poor impulse control because it does something to the frontal lobe which destroys the impulse governing part. Long term methheads display the same symptoms, some never recover. So we can imply that meth also does something to the frontal lobe, we know it destroys serotonin producing brain cells with a single use, this is why severe depression results with non use.Maybe you can understand what lack of impulse control does, you feel angry, pow, you lash out. You want something, must have it immediately, sex, food, violence, etc, etc, That sort of thing. For life. Of course, not everyone will get addicted, thats like any drug, but for those who do and in my experience much higher than 15 percent, its a horrible, horrible descent for them and their families.

What a load of crap. I work directly with "these people", and ice is not physically addictive. Heroin is.

You’re a truck driver from Western Sydney, Homo. You should know.

my daughter in laws brother is in the local Jail..[alexander Maconichie]has been for a while now...drugs and a hold up...sadly he appears to have cooked his brain almost zombiefied.. hes 36..barely talks.looks like death. no teeth... when they finally release him he will be let loose into the same culture as they found him..... instead of arguing about what this drug does and what that drug does..what about changing the system...his mother was told there are more drugs inside the jail than outside....he has been in there for more than 6 years..was released but he failed a drug test.. ... so is now staying longer.. in an environment that is doing bugger all for him...and many others....

Wrong.

The 'War on Drugs' was never undertaken with any sincerity because it would have meant locking up half the population of Sydney's aboriginal ghetto of Redfern.

And then there was a 'famous' Lebanese 'Crime Family' who used to sell hard drugs openly from a caravan they regularly parked in the Redfern area to 'service' the local Abos.

The 'War on Drugs' never got off the ground because it was too enmeshed with 'Race Politics' ~ and federal and State MPs in certain 'Migrant Electorates' not wanting to jeopardise their voting base by upsetting the local ethnics.

And then there's the North Shore professionals who need their cocaine and heroin supply. The pollies know it would be a very unpopular move for them to make too many 'busts' as with each 'bust' cocaine prices go sky high ...

It's not that easy to score. Even pot.

Go up to the Cross and try to get on.
You might end up with a rip off deal of pot, but it's unlikely you're going to be able to purchase something like Heroin or Cocaine. Well, you might part with your cash, but you're extremely unlikely to end up with anything apart from a bit of crushed Gyprock.

That being said, it is strange that once you know what to look for, you can be dropped anywhere in Australian and manage to score successfully within a few hours.

That pretty much goes for the whole world. In my opinion, it's far easier to get on in Singapore, that epitome of "hard on drugs", than what it is in somewhere like Kings Cross or Redfern.
