There are no happy endings for meth cooks, right?

I can't go into details, but for those who know about this epidemic, tell me: Are the vicious fuckers who produce and sell meth guaranteed to go down at some point?

I need to know.

1. So this past July 4, at a local lake an Oklahoma family has a reunion

STILLWATER, Oklahoma -- Autopsy reports show a 15-year-old Garfield County girl died from a methamphetamine overdose at a family reunion this summer and her death is being ruled a homicide.

Stillwater police said Linda Tucker was with her family at Lake Carl Blackwell in June when her mother found her barely breathing. Tucker was taken to a convenience store in town where she was pronounced dead by medical responders.

An autopsy report released by the medical examiner's office reveals Tucker's probable cause of death is acute methamphetamine intoxication. Her manner of death is listed as "homicide."

The report by Dr. Chai Choi says four needle puncture marks were located on the left side of Tucker's neck.

Payne County District Attorney Rob Hudson said his office is reviewing the case and charges are expected in the near future.

"We're working on some jurisdiction issues and still trying to figure out what charges to file and against whom," said Hudson.


Jump to this week, mom, a brother and the cook were arrested, all 3 charged with 2nd degree homicide. Mom thought it would be safe for the 15 year old since she was with family. They were injected into jugular vein.

2. Cooks can get sick from fumes, as well as family, and any plants

in the area. I drove home from work one day, in upper middle class suburbia at the time, to see firetrucks, police cars, and one person down in the middle of the intersection, spread eagle with hands behind their back... A mom & pop meth lab busted in the detached garage, kids in the house, neighbors had noticed all the plants on that side of the house were dying. Family torn apart, house up for sale... They put their kids in danger for meth, for money?

3. Sadly no...

I know of at-least one assclown who used his proceeds to go legit, parlaying his funds into a legitimate business. His secret, like that of many successful drug dealers was: "get in, make your dough you need to go straight, get out, DON'T USE THE PRODUCT."

He's a scumbag coercive sex fiend too. He's on my short list...I wait for him to fuck up in some minuscule way that I can use to open the door to his past. I'll give the police the evidence to build a RICO and take his business, home and lifestyle gladly. So far, his nose is clean.

4. For the most part, no.

I am sure some get away with it. But at what cost? It is a disgusting thing.

5. There's an old meth house two doors down from me

It's been effectively boarded up for two years because nobody wants to deal with it.

6. My cousin was arrested for it recently

She's just a freckle-faced kid herself. Don't know how she ended up cooking, but it cost her her baby, and she's facing serious charges. The main perp won't see daylight for some time.

I also know a former addict. She's got black stubs for teeth, but at least she's clean. Way too intelligent to end up like that. Don't know how it happens.

7. No happy endings.

My brother died because of alcohol and meth. Sad all around.
