A Sea Of Red

My guess is it was drawn by someone from LC..."Nice college,"

Well the words "ugly mountain", "homophobes" and "virgins" are right on top of LU and Candler's Mountain. So yeah I would say this is someone from LC.

Well at least I'm on the opposite side of the white trash, meth, and cocaine area. Well I guess I should say WAS.

Yeah, WAS is the correct word...welcome to Farmville, aka Farmvegas

That was the laziest judgmental map I've ever seen.

Well there's also not a lot to pick from in Lynchburg either...

Lynchburg doesn't really seem like the type of place to have a meth problem. Am I wrong in saying that?

Not this weekend though! I got the hell out of that place as fast as I could. H-SC has an epidemic of some sort of stomach virus on their hands right now and over 25% of their student body has contracted it and the school has shut down through the weekend. No way on this earth was I going to be around there this weekend.

Meth is everywhere dude.

I can walk down the street to Kroger right now, pick up just about all the ingredients I need (and if they don't have them it won't be hard to find them elsewhere), set up shop at home in a matter of minutes, cook the stuff, tear down my operation in a matter of minutes, and someone could come visit my home tonight and they would never know I was cooking meth.

Any drug like that is going to have heavy penetration in a place like Lynchburg. And the largest meth labs that produce a large % of the supply in the USA are in Mexico and there is at least one Mexican gang in Lynchburg that is known to deal heavily in the meth trade.

I'm surprised Lynchburg hasn't been exposed to Krokodil yet. Most households already have the ingredients needed to make that stuff depending on which recipe of the drug you want to use. I'm sure it's only a matter of time since it's a pretty cheap heroin substitute and I know there is a lot of heroin in this city.

Is this first hand knowledge, or assumption? Couple of friends on LPD have a different opinion.

I don't know any dealers, but some of my high school friends that live in Lynchburg have fallen off the rocker in the past few years and take meth and all sorts of other crap. They've said the farthest they have had to go to get their drugs is less than a half hour.

All you have to do is google "Lynchburg Meth" and you'll clearly see there is meth activity going on around here...

I googled it. There are about 5 stories in the past five years. I also googled "Roanoke" meth and found 20 stories in the past year. Sounds like someone is attempting to be a bit pretentious - why you chose this topic is beyond me.

Also, I found this: http://money.cnn.com/interactive/news/meth-lab-map/

I sure hope you aren't so naive to believe that a prevalence of meth labs is required within Lynchburg for their to be a problem with meth use...

These meth labs aren't cooking all this meth to keep it within their city. Like Tulsa has 979 meth labs, my educated guess is that there is no way that there are enough people in Tulsa to make it financially viable for 979 meth labs in that city unless they are exporting that elsewhere. Population of Tulsa is just a shade over 398K, after all.

And you believe that Lynchburg has a meth problem because a few of your highschool friends have fallen off their rocker.

Does anyone here not have a friend from highschool who fell off their rocker? Not sure how that's qualified to be evidence of an entire city having a meth problem.

Also, you're the one who promised results if I simply typed in "Lynchburg meth" in Google. Only five cases in the past five years. Nothing like Roanoke, as I expected.

This is what happens when you feed the Troll.

I'm basing it on more than just a few high school friends, but if you want to keep acting like meth isn't in this city then feel free to keep ignoring what is reality.

I think he acknowledges that it is in the city, but is challenging your assertion that it is at widespread, epidemic level proportions

I wonder if our good friend is the one who made the map?

Wait. There is meth in lynchburg? Shocking.

Mine would have been far more creative. Whoever made this one was lazy.

There's quite a big difference between "problem" and "widespread, epidemic."

5 cases in 5 years isnt really a problem...isolated incidents maybe but not a problem.

BJWilliams wrote:5 cases in 5 years isnt really a problem...isolated incidents maybe but not a problem.

But those are meth LABS that were all busted. Not meth USERS. There is quite a big difference. people can buy non-locally produced meth, we're not talking about a bunch of hipsters and women going down to a farmer's market on the weekend to buy locally grown veggies and fruits...

Is it in Lynchburg? Sure, it's probably on campus.

Is it as big of a problem as this map would indicate? No. It's not.

At this point, you're just pulling crap out of your butt, throwing it and hoping it sticks. Typical troll. I should have listened to PH.
