    This is pedantic but it annoys me every time I hear someone say it, let alone see it in writing: amphetamine can be plural; methamphetamine never is. Meth is an amphetamine, technically a substituted amphetamine, one of several such amphetamines.

    Back in the 90s, I was an exchange student in Australia, and there was a Pizza Hut where you could place an order for “1 stick of garlic bread” and they’d sell you weed.

    I also recall a Wienerschnitzel near my mom’s apartment in Sacramento, CA selling cocaine out the drive-thru window around the same time period.

      My stepfather knew a guy who delivered pizzas and the people who wanted him to deliver weed with the pizza requested him specifically. Dude made enough as a pizza delivery guy that he was able to buy a hella fancy sports car. Tbh, the idea was gold and I’m happy he was successful lol.

    My town had a local shawarma place get busted for cocaine smuggling. I always laughed at the thought of some new guy getting nervous.

    “Anything to drink, sir?”
    “Do you guys have any coke?”
    “ABSOLUTELY NOT! WHO TOLD YOU THAT?? GET OUT OF HERE!”

        If you think that’s not already happening then I don’t know what to tell you. I’ve seen people break into town water towers and start making meth there before. Legalization with regulation is probably the safest alternative to the current war on drugs.
