have you ever met a meth head? Or visited one of the wonderful cities in America's pacific northwest?

I think there are things definitely much worse than alcohol even if the harm is not as easily quantifiable in your chart here
:agree:

Hard to quantify meth in things like family adversity because none of those meth heads wandering the streets have any relationships with their families. Nor crime because they are constantly stealing but it’s mostly petty theft that the police don’t even try to deal with. And I’m sure the tent cities populated by meth heads and other drug addicts are great for the environment and community, with shit and garbage everywhere. :lol2:

The chart claims the community, economic and environmental (combined, mind you!) cost of meth is negligible.

I mean, I don't trust the chart.

Unless it's saying that meth heads have a low impact on the enviroment, because they're not heating homes they don't have. And they have a great community, because they usually do drugs together. And they support drugdealers so they are good for the economy. Someone has to buy a Mercedes G Class and it's probably going to be someone who deals meth.

    Honestly, what the chart fails to rate is "time."

    If I go out and drink each weekend and drive home, on a long enough timeline, I will kill myself and others in a vehicle accident. Some, most, in fact, consume alcohol over like 50 or 70 years with less than moderate effects. How long does the average Heroin or Meth head rock out? A few years? They either end up in prison, a HUGE cost to the community probably not calculated in these data, or they fucking die.
