"October 2006, police in Guadalajara arrested an American chemist named Frederick Wells, who had moved to Mexico after losing his job at Idaho State University. An academic troublemaker who drove around campus with signs on the back of his pickup truck raging at the college administration, Wells had allegedly used his university lab to investigate new ways that Mexican traffickers could use completely legal reagents to engineer meth precursors from scratch. "Very complicated numerical modeling," says his academic colleague Jeff Rosentreter. By the time Wells was arrested, the State Department had only just succeeded at pressuring Mexico to restrict the flow of pseudoephedrine, even though Wells had apparently been hard at work for years creating alternatives to that chemical. The lobbying by the pharmaceutical industry, Haislip says, "cost us eight or nine years.""

Go Frederick go. There is no true progress being made toward eradicating the plague of destructive drugs. Why not help to escalate the scurge of the American people, prostituting their Universiites, blackening the viel of legitimate research with a corrupt personal agenda. May the wieght of the heavy karmic burden of the addiction imposed by your actions be felt for lifetimes to come.
anonymous is weirdy.
