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 enhancetheir budgets and power.
