METH PROBLEM OVERBLOWN BY VICTORIA POLICE DEPT.

Re: Record meth haul by police (May 18)

Learning that "the largest single seizure of crystal meth in
department history" only amounts to "one kilogram of crystal
methamphetamine" raises questions about the meth scare being promoted
by Victoria police officers.

How can a trickle of meth so small possibly supply the epidemic of
meth addiction they claim exists or is the "epidemic" just more drug
crusader propaganda?

If the largest seizure in history is only one kilogram of crystal meth
the drug warriors are either absurdly ineffective in stopping drugs or
they are greatly exaggerating the extent of the problem to enhance
their budgets and power.
