Metro Police say we should be on the lookout for people washing their cars or painting their houses late at night. These behaviors, they say, could be signs of meth use.  Aside from the extra energy meth gives the user, the drug can also trigger something kind of like OCD. That’s why the Nazis gave it to plane and tank pilots in the 30s and 40s. (This is real, the meth was put in candy called Fliegerschokolade–airmen’s chocolate–or Panzerschokolade–tank chocolate. It helped make the fighters alert, focused and sometimes extra-agressive. One of the homebrew techniques for making meth is called the “Nazi Method.”)

Archaeology Magazine has a story on how meth users are harnessing their highs. They dig up artifacts to sell so they can buy more meth.

The energizing and obsessive effects make it fun, almost pleasurable, for tweakers to do the tedious work of artifact hunting. They have the steam to wander sites and dig holes for hours, the focus to scan the ground closely, and the compulsive need to find more and more. According to those who have spoken to twiggers [tweakers + diggers] directly, the ability to sell artifacts seems almost secondary to the addictive thrill of discovery. It makes them the perfect, tireless looting workforce.

In one paragraph, the writer describes a trailer filled with meth and ancient Anasazi clay pots. It’s like Breaking Bad meets Indiana Jones. Also, it’s illegal.
