racial / gender
use of meth
I have a question that may be unusual. I do not
mean any disrespect to anyone, or mean to offend anyone and if I
do please except my apology now.
I have been to several different web sites and looked at
pictures (before and after meth). I don't remember seeing a
picture that was not of a Caucasian person, mostly female. Maybe
I just haven't been to the right site.
My question, is Meth use more prevalent in Caucasian females
or just Caucasian race period? Does anyone know or has anyone
noticed this? Just curious. |

Re: racial / gender use of meth
Yes I do think that meth addiction is more
prominent in white males/females. But that seems to be changing
and more of a diverse group of people are using now days.
Meth does not discriminate by race. But culture does influance
what drugs one might decide to try. |

Re: racial / gender use of meth
I saw a show a while ago that said the Meth is
mainly a white drug and the plague for black people is smoking
crack cocaine. |

Re: racial / gender use of meth
I think it depends on the focus of the research.
Meth is HUGE in Southeast Asia. I don't remember what they call
it, but it affects folks in urban populations.
Meth is also huge in Tijuana, where I know a lot of ex-tweakers.
Southern California is so diverse - there were oodles of
Hispanic folks I have come across in the rooms who are trying to
get over meth use.
Many of the people I used with were people of color. Many
Filipino folks too.
So yeah, it may not be spread totally evenly, but it certainly
appeals to every race. Websites may be located or basing their
photos on local folks, so that is how the image of it being a
predominately white person drug comes about. |

Re: racial / gender use of meth
Yup...meth is HUGE over here in Southeast Asia...we
get the death penalty for it here in Singapore yet it can still
be found quite easily...amongst other drugs too of course..
They ship meth by the tons in this area...and since we have no
rural folks here its purely an urban drug...
Whatever it is...I pray for all those who have never been
exposed to meth to stay that way...forever..

Do they really kill people that get caught using Meth?
Do you think that meth use is greater per capita in USA than in
Singapore? |

Re: racial / gender use of meth
Yup...unfortunately the death penalty applies not
only to meth...most even to other drugs as well including
weed!!!
But they have some limits for each drug that you consume or
possess before they hang you...
I've heard of someone caught with 2 pills (unprescribed sleeping
pills) and he did 9 months in prison...
With such strict laws I'm sure the per capita in the US will be
higher than over here...
There you go... |

Re: racial / gender use of meth
I can't help but wonder?
How much incentive is there in severe punishment?
Not much huh?
Meth problems won't be solved by punisment. |

Re: racial / gender use of meth
I agree....if they could be solved by punishment
then there should be no more meth and addicts around right?

Re: racial / gender use of meth
Well I don't know the facts or anything. But I know
that the NA meetings I've been going to here in Mississippi has
several black members and I have also noticed the biggest drug
here seems to be crack. |
