So I'm really really late to this amazing show. I was told by a friend that the writing and acting in this show was excellent.
the premise- Informed he has terminal cancer, an underachieving chemistry genius turned high school teacher uses his expertise to secretly provide for his family by producing the world's highest quality crystal meth.
AMC is ready to start season 5. I have now worked my way through seasons 1 and 2. I'm hooked. The show simply riveting.

I love my 968 for what it is & don't hate it for what it isn't!

Yup. I haven't seen all of 3 yet but I've viewed most of 4 during the marathon last month.
@ Rap. I've seen that thing you call "book" in a antique store once. Musta been broken because I couldn't get the screen to pop up or find the power button.

I DVR everything I may want to watch at some point. Then, Melva and I tend to devour a whole season of a show in a week or two. "Magic City" was awesome...

Ahh, isnt big pharma great? They could careless how safe something is, as long as it makes money, and the FDA is in on it. Methamphetamine is certainly a neurotoxin, with no medical use that other compounds cant fill the void of, with less toxicity. Ive seen it rot the hell out of peoples teeth when they smoke it. One of the more harsh ones out there. between alcohol, meth, and junk....I dunno which ones worse. Maybe a toss up between alcohol, and meth. Ive seen long time drunks in pretty bad shape, shakes, liver shutting down on them...man nasty withdrawals....worse than the withdrawals Ive seen people have from dope. Makes you wonder who the drug pushers in our society really are. of all the junkies Ive crossed paths with in the last 10 years or so....maybe 90% of them dont buy drugs on the street, their doctor gives them all they need, and is how they got strung out in the first place. The other 10% fancy all that pure stuff coming from Afghanistan in the last decade or so...imagine that we ramp up troop deployment to the poppy capital of the world, and the availability of pure dope on the streets at home goes up...funny...must be a coincidence.....
This is why i only got half through a chem degree, I realized I didnt want to work in a lab designing boner pills, and other such garbage that really isnt good for people, it just means profit for the pharma companies, as they pay me a meager salary, and get filthy rich off of my work to boot. At first you think, would be great to design new medicines to help people...but that really has little to nothing to do with it. Its all about patents, and money. Ive heard good things about ibogaine for addiction therapy, <acronym title='Limited Slip Differential'>LSD</acronym> is also been reported with very high success treating addiction......not enough money in those to keep big pharma's attention. Although the swiss have been prescribing both of them recently. And there is a professor at Purdue with the proper license to research them, his findings have been pretty profound. Its all a waste though big pharma cant patent them, and profiteer the hell out of em. Why would they produce a cure for addicition that is non habit forming, itself? Theyd lose most of their revenue with the crap that is their money makers, that everyone is strung out on. Doesnt make sense for big pharma economically. Suboxone just seems like another methadone, dont treat the actual ailment, just string it along with their fancy "legal" drugs. This keeps the junkies functional, and big pharma in the loop(in their wallet), and govt in taxes at the same time.
