Meth Addicts To Become Native American Anthropologists

Like Crack users, Meth addicts have long been pariahs in the drug community for their unblinking determination to imbibe large amounts of crystal meth and stay up all hours pacing abandoned buildings and making that revving motor sound with their sore covered lips, solving any rubix cube they can find in record time. Quite naturally, Meth enthusiasts have long been hiding their true purpose: That of seeking out and rescuing arrowheads.

"The time-consuming and methodical motion of searching for arrowheads on farmland and in riverbeds seems to appeal to methamphetamine addicts, a sheriff says. White County Sheriff Pat Garrett said that after more than 100 search warrants, he has come to expect arrowheads, many thousands of years old, when he storms the home of suspected meth makers.
"I noticed it when I first started. It just seemed there were always Indian arrowheads, and I couldn't figure it out," Sheriff Garrett said. Tony Young of Velvet Ridge said the sheriff is on to something. "You get kind of wired on that stuff, and you need to have something to do," said Mr. Young, who is in the White County jail awaiting trial on methamphetamine charges. Mr. Young, 36, sold his arrowhead collection to a local dealer for $1,250 – enough to pay for a defense attorney. He said "head hunting" filled his need for activity when he was on meth."

Many parents look upon their child's addiction to crystal as a curse that requires Pete Doherty-like extremes [Thailandish monasteries, Kate Moss], but now that this information has come to light, proud parents of Meth addicts may now purchase bumper stickers. Proud Parent Of A Meth Addict, and so forth. So, what, if you need a little pick me up every few hours, and eventually disintegrate into a puddle of Rehab Man-like goo. Happy artifact hunting!
