You see tariffs are a good idea. Americans will start buying locally made meth again.

Somehow i suspect that the meth imports aren't being taxed
Wait, so the Cartel can afford to pay an actual chemist to make meth but the local stuff is made by a high school dropout living in a trailer park with his mom. I don't like meth, but I think I would want the stuff made by the chemist.
Have you tried the Strawberry version?
Not strawberry, but I have tried it and I don't like it. The next day I felt like I had been punched in the chest by a professional boxer. Despite knowing that the drug had hurt me, the drug was calling to me. I had a desire to go get more. That triggered my self preservation instinct and I made a decision to not fuck with it again.
You dodged a bullet
You gotta have very good connections though, otherwise by the time cartel stuff gets to you it's been cut with god knows what. Some trailer park junkies have a surprisingly high sense of responsibility for their customers too (other than selling them meth) so it's entirely unpredictable if you're going in blind.
Damn Mexicans are take the jobs of those hard working meth labs!
Bakersfield California is gonna run out of work at this rate! We'll have to pivot sooner than later.
American manufacturers just can't compete...
MAGMA: Make Americans Great Meth Again
That makes some sense. When you're smuggling something you want it as pure as possible, so it takes up less space and is harder to detect. You cut it with something else after you smuggle it.
The same thing happened during prohibition. They smuggled hard liquor, not beer.
Oh sweetie... Y'all still have homegrown meth. Being a failed state doesn't really stop Jimbob from cooking in his basement.
How would he know?.. 🤔
Damn cartels, coming in and stealing American jobs!
This is what I come here for
So… why the meth is coming aaaaaall the from Mexico? Wouldn’t be easy to get some of that inordinate amount of meth that is coming from the nasty country north of the border? Much closer… ;)
My crystal meth is one hundred percent organic and fair trade.
I dont even get what the onion is here. This just sounds like a normal sentence said by an elected official on a contemporary issue
Woooosh. One word flew right over your head apparently.
Look at the community name again...
