The shade* of H. Ross Perot snickers as the struggling homegrown American meth industry withers under competition from cheaper Mexican-cooked meth.
You could not make this stuff up and be believed, period.

Those of us from the border region saw this coming. Since about mid 2005 local cocaine has been cut with increasing amounts of meth, with many addicts figuring out what the "new buzz" was and moving from blow to crystal.
Corpus Christi is a fascinating study in drug use; they inject everything here. Meth, heroin and cocaine are all heavily injected, rather than smoked or snorted here.
I'm reminded of the public service announcement on Saturday Night Live from the Dope Pickers Union: "Every time you buy Mexican or Colombian pot, you put an American out of work!"
I can't find anything about it online, probably because the people who found it funniest can't remember it.
Is nothing sacred anymore? :) :) :)

Sadly predictable.
Once Breaking Bad ended its television run, the American meth industry lost its national source of inspiration and innovation.
Upside: fewer houses in the US randomly blowing up from inept meth cookers.
Downside: this is probably another one of those "violent cartel gang" run things.
Actually, I'm unsurprised. I live in Oklahoma and local LEOs have been warning of this for a while.
Are we not even making our own meth anymore? What has happened to American manufacturing!? First the Canadians, now the Mexicans....
