Maybe even more than cupcakes. idk though I haven't tried cupcakes yet. Just kidding of course I have, meth is the problem.
Meth is man made. Its made from Carbon, Hydrogen, and Nitrogen (C10H15N). All of the basics to make it can be found in house hold supply and cold medicine and all you need a very limited lab. Its the main reason so many Meth Labs have pop up in everything from bathtubs to sheds.
Its also supper cheap compared to most drugs. Its easily made and there are many suppliers. Even a basic econ education would tell you that its a steal.

Bad for your teeth dentist would rather not have to deal with that. Or you.
Because of its high levels of dopamine most become hooked after the first try. Even those who have always been able to set down drugs after trying them easily become addicted.
Its the highest level of dopamine you can find. Because of this the brain then is rewired to think this is more important than food, sex, or anything because of its insane ability to make the body release dopamine.
This causes the person to no longer care about basic self care, health, and eating. It keeps users awake for days on hours long highs. The lack of sleep can also cause hilusionations and sickness (reduced immunity).

Soon enough you realize that you're addicted and hopefully you take action to find or accept intervention.
Its much more affordable and easily available. Long highs lasting hours and a dopamine release level more than three times that of cocaine.

We still look for it in the article ice crystals but sometimes there seems to be no hope. Yet we keep looking.
Crystal meth as we know it today started as a drug called Amphetamine, made in Germany in 1887. It was later developed into the modern form of methamphetamine in 1919 because it was more potent, and easier to make. This final edit was done in Japan.
The drug was then commonly used during World War II to keep troops awake by both sides. Because of its side effects, it was usually given to kamikaze pilots before their suicide missions to keep them awake.
Its since became a stable in the American Drug Culture. After the war, when it became available to the public, it quickly spread throughout America. Taking root in big cities, like new your and LA, and rural country redneck country alike. And those unlying roots still remain today.

They have to take math to graduate.
The statistics for teen use show that 1% of eighth graders, 1% of 10th graders, and 1.9% of twelfth graders had tried methamphetamine at some time in their lives. That alone is quite bad, but the math only gets worse. (UXL Encyclopedia of Drugs and Addictive Substances)
It was concluded that the average age current meth users first tried was just 19 years old. Still three years away from even being able to drink.
