We got into the Meth problem in part by making the less harmful rec drugs really expensive through prohibition. Meth has the advantage of being really cheap to manufacture, but lets face it, if it was legal to grow pot in your back yard, how many people would bother with Meth? I'm not saying that Meth is harmless, just that the present approach to dealing with it isn't working. It's easy to say that there are no easy solutions, and just keep the status quo, but in the meantime, there are a lot of people whose lives are being destroyed, and tossing them in jail isn't helping anyone.
