There's actually a tooth count break down to know where your meth dealer hails from. Here's a simple list: Sonoma County dealers have at least four teeth. Mendocino County dealers have at least three teeth. Humboldt County dealers have at least two teeth. Lake County dealers have none. True story: growing up in Mendocino County, a house three doors down from my family's blew up early one morning because it contained a meth lab. It was crazy-awesome, hearing the explosion, it knocking the windows out of both houses adjacent to the property, and after the fires were contained I got to watch the firemen change their clothes in the street (read: hot).

I grew up in Sonoma County, and I can assure you, 90% of every adult I met while living there was at one point in their life addicted to meth. So, this was the most unsurprising piece of news I have ever read in my life.

29lbs - feh! They go through that much during the weekly Friday happy hour at Merrill Lynch.

We recently bought a place in Healdsburg (so someday I can run for Supervisor in SF and do my Alioto-Pier imitation). 8 acres behind our house is for sale. We were chatting with the people running the winery across the street, and said we figured some Bay Area richie-rich would probably build a huge house there, but we were hoping someone would plant grapes there. They said "Can't happen - too much damage to the land from the meth lab". Or as my next door neighbor says "I think they are 'Crack People' living there"

Uh, 1.3 million dollars seems a bit high for 29 pounds... Meth users do not have that kind of money, if they did we wouldn't be cracking down on them.

Ha ha, remember the 90s? "Ice" was what grunge people lost themselves to! Like Mudhoney, you just don't hear much about ice anymore.

Hitler had meth injected into him everyday, so it can't be all that bad for you. http://www.rcpe.ac.uk/publications/articles/journal_35_1/Hitler's_medical_care.pdf
