needed a list)
1.
Eventually, the meth is gonna’ get you!
Whether it’s by law enforcement, or your health-eventually
you will get caught.

You may be ”hooked” the first time you try it!
Once you start using meth, it may be near impossible
for you to stop on your own.
3.
Meth costs a lot of money. More
importantly, it could cost you your life.
4.
It is made with anhydrous ammonia-this stuff alone is enough
to kill you if handled improperly.
5.
It is made with drain cleaner (lye, an alkaline, similar to
acid, but much more destructive)-you know, the stuff that
dissolves hairballs in the drain. Yuk!!
6.

corrosion off of gun barrels, can you imagine what it does
to you insides?
