Ah. A question instead of answer. How familiar. If the percentage of addicts for Meth users were higher than alcoholics, then it would substantiate that Meth is more addictive than alcohol. You know that, which is precisely why you will not answer the question. -Greg

One of the factors that cause people to get addicted to speed is that the "crash" is so unpleasant that they take more to avoid it. I saw a lot of this in high school and I'm lucky I didn't get hooked on it myself. It's a pernicious drug and alcohol does not compare.
