meth sounds awesome on paper
then you look at the before/after effects it actually has on people.

Are you in law enforcement or want to be? You seems on top of this information.
I've come to resepct law enforcement people in recent years, and someone (not here I don't think) made disparaging comments about the profession, and how easy it was for anyone to get a job there etc, etc. So I looked into it for the purposes of argument, yeah, not so easy. ( In most cases, obviously if you want to be a cop in NOLA they'll take what they can get
)
Meth can be just as much of a recreational drug as any other. I've used it (probably 6-7 years ago). Although I look worse than before I used it, I think its mostly due to age - not the drug.

LEO's or do you mean higher up? LEO's can be such better-than-thou pricks.

I have respect for law enforcement. They've always been super nice and helpful when I've had to deal with them. They really get a bad rep from the few among them who are corrupt or just a-holes. Here in MD, drug usage does not disqualify you from serving at all. You just have to be honest about it. I didn't get that from their web site though. It doesn't mention it. I just asked.

Once you try to see things from their perspective, the attitudes that some of them have start to click.
They also don't write the laws, but will catch hell from media/citizens/superiors if they don't "do their job".
Those same scumbags that loooooove HOA's and will call because your grass is 1/4" too high, also will complain to police about every damn little thing.

More and more state and local agencies are becoming more lenient in that regard, I think like you said about 50% of people having used drugs, it's harder and harder for them to find candidates that didn't, so the standards have been relaxed.
Doesn't seem to have changed much at the Federal level, though the FBI seems to have relaxed a bit.
In some cases a CJ degree seems to be more of a detriment than drug use
That's funny. Seemed like your entire defence. What is your knowledge based on? Erowid? Friends? Family? I enjoy how your ability to talk to me about this has resorted that I have somehow been fed a falsehood by "law enforcement", which I have not. Any opinions I have, my field or not (this is not) are based on science and research. Not human interest stories in the sunday newspapers supplements.
Out of interest I asked my housemate [Who is a registered Psychiatrist] about the prevalence of LSD among his patients [which he treats as locum community support, not a Law Enforcement capacity]. He has come across "a few" people who have had not only "severe flashbacks" from taking LSD an uncounted amount of times, but also those who when combining with other drugs have had some degree of psychosis for which therapy isn't sufficient.
Flashbacks are caused by LSD -remaining- in the CSF, as there is no way for this to be broken down by phagocytosis or by degradation. But you know all of this because you watched SLC Punk.
Grow up, my learned friend. There are some things I don't tread into here as it's not my domain. Not my game of cricket. But I certainly don't try and belittle someone through my own foolish life choices and use these as science fact when I am little more schooled.

Infact, I'm still trying to fathom just -what- you're trying to argue with me about?
I said that any drug reliably manufactured and administered isn't going to have especially detrimental effects in later life depending on the usage and frequency. I know of one person who I encountered who felt that every reference to 'Belfast' or 'Northern Ireland' on the TV was a message especially for her. She blew her entire inheritence on weed and smoked it over the course of 3-4 weeks. That doesn't mean I'm running around telling people it's a bad thing.
What I pointed out, which was 100% truthful, is that LSD -HAS- the ability more than any other kitsch drug to be supremely detrimental to mental health on the first administration dependent more on genetic factors than anything else. I have yet to see you use this word, or any of these words.
I don't take smug satisfaction from posting anything about this, which is what you had originally hoped you'd take from me. It's a shame you're stereotyping me with what you've been lead to believe is prevalent among medicine. It's smug, wikipedia engineered opinions like this that lead to problems.

I have fought lsd on the battle field of my mind and i owned that bitch. Yes, she made me see and hear funny things but I have a good sense of humor so it was all good.
People that snap due to drugs were people that just needed an excuse to snap.
I'm a laid back person at heart so no alcohol or drug will make me any different from that unless I choose to let it. A lot of people just lack self control.

I guess it's a self-fulfilling prophecy.
I've not read about LSD much myself, as I don't care on way or the other, but it does seem as if some people have a predisposition to ruin themselves, one way or another.

I buy what yer sayin' Poleaux.
I've no first hand experience in the matter, but had a number of aquaintances who did, certainly seems to support what your friend sees.
