Meths purity has increased dramatically, the potency has derailed many lives, this is just one of the issues but a big part of it.
According to the city, there have been 12 to 15 incidents of people possibly doing meth in the bathroom that were reported to security.
On two separate occasions, city employees were evaluated and cleared for health concerns after experiencing symptoms of possible meth exposure, the city said. The employees were medically cleared by paramedics. >

This shit is one of the countless reasons why safe injection sites are becoming a thing. Gives them somewhere safe, clean, and designed to help if something goes wrong, not to mention open offers of counseling, drug testing, even stuff like job and housing help and so on, to keep them from dying and give them a chance to get their addiction under control. >

No, not really. Meth is one of those drugs that works however you get it into your body. Smoke it, snort it, eat it, brett kavanaugh boof it, there's no wrong way to do meth! >

"Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew... Lovely big golden meth with a nice piece of fried fish." >

"Gives it to us raw, and wriggling!" >

Kinda like the worms under your skin >

Used to do security for a library in my old town and the amount of used needles and ODs I found during a shift was staggering. One of our conference rooms was infested with bed bugs and was shut down for quite some time. Cops were constantly on patrol there. I only lasted about 30 days in that job >

A lot of people don’t realize how many dirty needles end up in the creeks and waterways here in Boulder. Not to mentioned the homeless people pooping in the creek. 
Still all the college kids love to go tubing and parents bring their kids to splash around in the water. >

Funny you mention boulder and sadly I’m not surprised. The library I worked at was in Fort Collins. >

Damn, even libraries can’t get uncontaminated meth these days? >

Get these libraries the meth they deserve! >

Reading Rainbow told me I could get twice as high, and I’m holding libraries to that. >

Just take a look, it's time to cook.... >

A meth-laced rainbow! >

I work in public libraries. People do drugs in the bathroom all the time. I didn’t know someone was supposed to be testing anything. I don’t think we even thought it. We’re just like, “ughh… smells like drugs again”. Even for bed bugs we just close certain sections of the library. >

Wait- the library gets bedbugs? >

All the time. Homeless people spend all day, every day hanging out on our furniture (and we really love being a safe, warm place for them be). Do not sit on anything fabric in the library. >

Someone's reading ALL THE BOOKS >

It’s a shame. We used to frequent our local library, attend events with our kid, and donate. We stopped going because we noticed that it became a daily hangout for heroin/meth heads to get out of the cold and sleep.
Edit: while I believe a public library should be fair use for anyone…I also believe it should provide for a stress free / safe environment. Seeing people shooting up heroin in the stalls or tweaking out is not ideal >

When I lived in SoCal I rode down to a library about an hour away. There was one a mile down the road but holy shit it might as well have been a methadone clinic. >

The downtown library doubles as a shelter now, there was even an uproar lately because it was pouring rain and storming and the cops showed up to clear everyone out so the mayor city could do a presser on how they're "helping" the homeless during these critical times.
Also when the wind blows really hard from the right direction, there's a steel art structure that covers the top of the library and it wails like one million demons in unison. You can hear it from a mile away >

Oooh, resonance frequency. >

Surprised at how active it is, guess people really love evil buildings. Trains too apparently. >

Why would trains love evil buildings? >

"They also pointed out that standards for how much meth contamination is acceptable"
I really had no idea that there was an acceptable level of meth contamination. >

According to this article from the Atlantic, there are apparently substantial differences in the effects of meth use based on what else is in it (with potentially more dangerous neurological symptoms). >

The standards the original article refers to are not about meth being contaminated with additives, but buildings being contaminated with meth >

I went to Denver, Colo springs, Ft Carson, Aurora and the various burbs of colorado about 10 years ago for work and it was a fucking utopia, EXTREMELY nice areas, clean cities, beautiful parks downtown.
Went back in 2019 and 2021 and uhhhhhh.... WTF happened? did a cargo plane airdrop bums and junkies onto all the overpasses?
