The main thing about P2P meth is that there's so much of it (2022) | Hacker News

A Hacker News thread debated whether today’s meth crisis is mainly about abundant supply and heavy use, rather than a fundamentally different drug.

Commenters argued over whether meth should be regulated more like prescription stimulants such as Desoxyn, or kept tightly controlled.

Others pointed to contamination, potency, and manufacturing methods, questioning how much those factors explain the harms.

The discussion highlighted broader tensions in drug policy between legalization, harm reduction, enforcement, and addiction risk.
