RANDY JOHNSONS:

One thing that surprised me about your meth stories was the small amount of space you gave to why people use meth in the first place -- why it is such an addictive drug.

Why, of course, is that it makes people extremely horny.  You mentioned in Joe Watson and Robert Nelson's piece that some users almost become gangrenous masturbating when on the drugs, literally doing it for days on end.  But that was it!

Meth has become a huge problem in the gay culture.  Gay men in the club scene are using it like they once used poppers.  And among heteros, people become so promiscuous on meth that they have no idea who and how many sexual partners they are having when they're high, which is most of the time.  They are both out of it and incredibly randy.  No wonder there are so many meth babies!

You should consider exploring the obvious a little further.
