Always Low Prices, Even for Meth Lab Owners
Always Low Prices, Even for Meth Lab Owners
Iowa has passed some of the strictest anti-methamphetamine laws in the country for a reason. The state’s rural communities have been devastated by the recent meth epidemic, which is driving up crime and domestic abuse rates around the country (and leaving hundreds of users with a grotesque condition called “meth mouth“).
“The problem is that you can get everything to start a meth lab at Wal Mart,” Florida law enforcement official Sgt. Scott Behringer says. The even bigger problem is that Wal-Mart fought to ‘roll back’ tough laws in states like Iowa that make products with meth ingredients (such as Sudafed) more difficult to buy.
And when the Bush administration released its federal anti-meth plan last week, even conservatives couldn’t believe it. “If this is a cohesive national policy, it is embarrassing,” said Rep. Mark Souder (R-IN), chairman of the House subcommittee that handles national drug policy. Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley (R) says the White House is “listening more to Wal-Mart than to the economic and social problems†that meth causes.

Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley (R) says the White House is “listening more to Wal-Mart than to the economic and social problems†that meth causes.
You mean the Bush administration is putting the welfare of corporations before the welfare of the American people?
Say it ain’t so.
August 23rd, 2005 at 5:29 pmYep kev, I believe we can definately see a pattern developing here.
August 23rd, 2005 at 5:38 pmThat smiley face is great.
August 23rd, 2005 at 5:41 pmLOL
Meanwhile that evildoer Chavez plots to give free eye surgery to poor blind people.
August 23rd, 2005 at 5:43 pmAnd that commie Jimmy Carter is building homes for the poor, devestating our economy.
August 23rd, 2005 at 5:46 pmI visited Canuckistan a few weeks ago. I had a conversation with a truck driver that hauled anhydrous ammonia for Alberta farmers in the mid-northeastern section of the province. He informed me that a 3000 gallon tanker of anhydrous ammonia was stolen and never found. Meth users are suspected of stealing the tanker.
At 6.2 pounds per gallon, that’s plenty of meth.
Forget about the problems in the western hemisphere, the war in Iraq is the important matter.
Let’s spend another 300 billion to support the war effort. That’s a grand for each and every person in the United States. It’s a bargain.
Meth users be damned.
August 23rd, 2005 at 5:58 pmMaybe we should pay Walmart to lobby for legalization of marijuana.
August 23rd, 2005 at 6:04 pm#7,
WallyWorld sell all you need except the seeds. Those you have to meet the stockers out back for.
August 23rd, 2005 at 6:19 pm“Is this heaven?”
“No, it’s Iowa.”
Cook it, and they will come.
August 23rd, 2005 at 6:38 pmMaybe BushCo Inc. stole the tanker and their using METH to CONTROL the PEOPLE!!!! Pappa Bush flew C-130’s full of Cocaine into Louisiana right? Are we all doomed or what????? Where’s my TINFOIL HELMET?
August 23rd, 2005 at 6:55 pmGreat picture, Nico. Funny thing — it used to be, in the old days, that the cold medicines were out front, and the condoms were behind the counter.

August 23rd, 2005 at 6:58 pmAnother typical example of the “Whipping Boy Syndrome”–if we can’t do the job find somebody to blame. “If them damn Democrats is lambasting Wally World they ain’t on mine and Uncle Dick’s case.” Next it will be all Bill Gate’s and Al Gore’s fault because they invented the computer and the Internet and you can get Meth instructions there. The Bushies have lost the “War on Drugs” and the “War on Terror.” Fortunately they are winning the “War on Intelligence” only within their own select group. We thinkers are still fighting.
August 23rd, 2005 at 6:59 pmYeah, Poppa Bush used to fly cocaine into Florida and the good governor of that state was his helper. To make sure his other son was not involved, Poppa sent him off to Yale to become a cheerleader. But he could not keep georgie away from the coke and the booze.
What an outfit huh?
August 23rd, 2005 at 8:08 pmAh yes, cause the war on all previous drugs has turned out so well, let’s start putting restrictions on freakin’ Sudafed for gods sakes. Hey Chuck, if you’re worried about the meth problem, why not give some of your rural residents better things to do?
August 23rd, 2005 at 8:08 pmI’m still laughing kevo!!! Excellent response.
August 23rd, 2005 at 8:50 pmWhen Big Bush had Escobar murdered the flow of coke never slowed……I wonder who’s getting all that money now? Then junior takes Afganistan and heroin production skyrockets. Where is all that money going now that the Taliban has been displaced? Talk about patterns!
August 23rd, 2005 at 8:53 pmThe Bush Administration is still focused on marijuana. Would someone finally inform them that the only thing ever killed by marijuana is a bag of Lays potato chips and a Domino’s Pizza! These people have absolutely no comprehension of reality!
August 23rd, 2005 at 8:55 pmIt is Bushie’s agenda to keep everybody addicted to one thing or another. It’s easier to brainwash the wasted.
Walmart sucks!

OMG, where can I get some Bullshit Protectors. That is hillarious.
August 23rd, 2005 at 9:09 pmWhere are the trolls? I was sure I would snag a few on my “We” comment (#13).
August 23rd, 2005 at 9:52 pmThis is total drug war fear-mongering, but man … it was worth it just for that freaky Wal-Mart meth-mouth smiley face.
August 23rd, 2005 at 11:08 pm#20, you can find them on Ebay. $10, they had 500 left.

August 24th, 2005 at 8:27 amClyde,
It’s hard to win a war you never bothered to show up for. Of course, Duhbuhya is good at that… he’s never showed up for a war, period.
That’s so not true. Dumbya battled every line of coke he ever saw. Why I hear no line was safe from his rolled $20 bill.
It allowed him to drink EVEN MORE…
August 24th, 2005 at 12:39 pmApparently knives can kill people, and Wal-Mart sells them. Let’s pass a law to forbid knife sales at Wal-Mart.
August 24th, 2005 at 1:07 pm… too bad wally-world doesn’t stock brain cells – think how many neocon i.q.s could be saved !!! lowest prices , bigger brains – yeah , that’s the ticket ! somebody call Frist ( he should be good for an endorsement , right ? ) …

August 24th, 2005 at 5:54 pmBravo WalMart! This is the first time I’ve ever supported WalMart’s behavior.
The USA already imprisons more of its citizens than any other nation in the world.
End the USA’s “War on Drugs” now!
August 25th, 2005 at 7:49 amMarijuana good- meth bad. Please write Wal-mart and tell them to stop lobbying.

Meth-heads Make Waves at Wal-Mart
North Dakota has a big problem with meth, along with other midwestern states. Common knowledge. So who’s going to tell Wal-Mart? Think Progress has the story.
August 25th, 2005 at 6:27 pmMan I thought I was paranoid some of you people must be smokin a bit too much of the twack. Sure you can get the stuff to make meth at wal-mart k-mart target, grocerie stores hardware etc. whats your point help the kids in your community by listening to them and providing programs for them to get involved in instead of sitting at your computer and bitching about how corrupt the government is and corporate america and Georgie was a coke head all that. what does it matter and what message does it give our kids. hmmm “im gonna be lazy and blame all of my shortcomings on the corrupt government da da dadadada da. what ever, just do somthing that has a posititve influence on whats around you. i can go on for hours. but im not that overzealous.

December 1st, 2005 at 7:30 amOn the left coast crime is at a staggering high because of the meth problem. They have restricted sales of ingredients however have done little about the main source. 99% is coming in from mexico. In mexico it is no problem to buy ingredients by the truckload. the left wingers are doing everything they can to lay out welcome mats for illegal alliens to come and destroy our country. Blah

March 21st, 2006 at 12:02 amWell, since wal-mart sells the stuff to make meth, then maybe they will sell my book about meth, called American Meth: The History of Methamphetamine in America.
