montebrogan Posted February 20 Report Share Posted February 20 Prosecutor Focuses Efforts On Crystal MethThe Associated PressFebruary 19, 2004, 9:24 PM ESTFederal authorities said Thursday they were cracking down on rising sales of a drug commonly known as "crystal meth" after finding it was being brought into some Manhattan clubs disguised as mouthwash.U.S. Attorney David Kelley announced the arrests of six individuals in a probe dubbed "Operation Chelsea Connection" that has already resulted in the confiscation of more than 13 pounds of the drug, enough to provide more than 20,000 doses.Kelley said the drug, crystal methamphetamine, was a particular threat in the city's gay community, although it might also be a rising problem elsewhere.He declined to identify the names of any clubs where the drug had been found. At a news conference, he showed a photograph of bottles of a mouthwash that he said had contained the drug.The drug's use at city nightclubs posed an additional hazard because it increases feelings of euphoria and diminishes rational thought, making it more likely that users might participate in risky behavior, Kelley said.He called it a "looming and frightening public health problem as well."Among those arrested on charges of distributing and attempting to distribute the drug were a fashion designer, James Urinyi, and a financial adviser, Gary Kiss.If convicted of the charges, each could face a maximum of 40 years in prison, a mandatory minimum of five years in prison and a $2 million fine.Gerald Labush, a lawyer for Kiss, declined to comment after his client was ordered released on $500,000 bail. Jennifer Brown, an attorney for Urinyi, also declined to comment after Urinyi was ordered freed on $250,000 bail.

I've done it a couple of times , but haven't touched it in almost 3 months .....I don't consider it too much of a recreational drug , more of a " I can't afford to sleep and i got lots of things to do " type drug .

I have only tried crystal a few times and I will NEVER EVER touch it again! One of my friends was high on it and had unsafe sex and contracted an STD. Personally, I felt the high sucked. When I went out clubbing, I never felt like dancing because I had "Tina Tongue" (all I felt like doing was talking a mile a minute). The cotton mouth sucked and the crash/comedown was even worse, but Klonopins saved the day. Feeling cracked out for days is not worth it, as the negatives of this drug far outweigh any positives imo. Tina is the !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
