Seen it, heard about it, what? The director is coming into our gifted class to have a Q and A about it.
The discussion revolves around an upcoming Q&A session with a director of a documentary related to methamphetamine, particularly focusing on its societal impact and the personal experiences of participants with the drug issue in their community. The conversation includes reflections on the documentary, questions for the director, and commentary on drug culture.
Participants generally share concerns about methamphetamine and its societal effects, but there are differing views on the appropriateness of certain questions for the director and the nature of the documentary itself. The discussion remains unresolved regarding the best approach to engage with the director.
Participants express varying levels of familiarity with methamphetamine and its production, leading to a mix of serious and humorous commentary. The discussion reflects a blend of personal experiences and speculative questions about drug culture.
Individuals interested in drug policy, societal impacts of substance abuse, documentary filmmaking, and community health issues may find this discussion relevant.
binzing said:I know what it can do, I've seen years of stuff on it. Just wondering if anyone had seen this documentary. We watched about half of it today. The director is from my town and there are a few scenes in my town. Meth is a huge problem here. Just thought I'd see if anyone had seen it.

Ask how to make meth, when he (obviously) won't tell you, ask if only adults can know - he will say adults shouldn't know how to make meth either.
You can then either ask if there are other bits of science it's too dangerous for people to know ( and make him look like some ignorant villager in a frankenstein movie)
or ask if drug companies know how to make it eg ( Merck or Bayer ) when he says yes, ask why it's ok for foreigners ( pick Swiss/German drug co) but not Americans to know.

binzing said:From my understanding, to make meth you just mix a bunch of sh!t together and heat it.
