Yeah, weed really shouldnt be a priority, and should be legalized nationwide, but...

```Canna_Bars, on Hansa, advertised pounds of methamphetamine. In the description of the product, Porras had claimed the methamphetamine came “direct from Mexico.”```

So, defintely not legal anywhere, nor is mass distribution of meth really something that is of benefit to anybody but the cartels he bought it from.

It’s a benefit for me. Meth is the only thing that treats my adhd without horrible side effects. 10mg / day orally. I can’t afford the outragous out of pocket price for desoxyn per month. Moreover, after initially being prescribed it and having great results, after moving I can’t find any psychiatrist willing to prescribe it because they are all terrified of the DEA. Thus I and many other stigmatized people directly benefit from cheap pure meth on the street. Thanks for reading about this casualty of the drug war.

I was not aware that there were legitimate prescriptions for it. But it sounds to me like you're a casualty of the pharma industry more so than the drug war. The ratio of people that street meth helps to people that it harms is, by my SWAG, a very, very small number.
