Frontline is the best hour of television I watch. The reporting is in-depth, light on fluff, and the topics are always relevant. Yesterday's Frontline, on the meth problem in America, is a fantastic example of this. They cover the mechanism that meth uses to stimulate the brain and addict it's users from the first hit on. They also do a great job covering the timeline of meth in America and the governments involvement in the supply chain of ephedrine and pseudoephedrine. The show was produced in conjuction with The Oregonian who first published the haunting faces of meth. A piece which opened a lot of eyes, including my own.
I thought meth was on the way out. Unfortunately it's not. Meth really scares me because of what it does to the people who use it and how it destroys communities. Everyone should watch this show.
