Interesting. I didn't know meth was from Japan or an epidemic there. The person who told me that "fact" about it being developed in US probably had it all wrong, and definately has political/class injustice interests. Maybe she meant to say it's a working class drug sometimes used for fatigue relief by over-worked labourers. It sounds like a truely horrifying substance, and I do know it's rampant in the US- I just don't personally know of anyone using it- probably a social class thing? Or because I tend to be surrounded by a lot of "intellectual"/academic types who aren't interested in it? (?) Those that would be, I'd speculate, would go for coke instead. Or precriptions. Which must explain why a certain pharmacist at my otherwise lovely pharmacy hassles me whenever I get a dose change or "refill too soon" with ritalin.

I can't look down on the meth people either, but I feel very, very sad for them.

Treatment resistant dysthymia + inattentive AD/HD seems to be utterly debilitating in everyone unlucky enough to be afflicted by them (me included).
