It is not an easy matter to hit a conscience exactly between wind and water. Amphetamines form a large group of synthetic stimulants, including Dexedrine, Methedrine, and Benzedrine.  Amphetamines were once widely prescribed to assist dieting or to relive mild depression. However, both practices are often frowned upon because patients frequently become dependent on dangerous drugs. Nonetheless, illicit use of amphetamines is widespread. Stimulants are especially popular among people who believe that drugs can enhance their mental or physical performance. Amphetamines rapidly produce a drug tolerance. Most abusers, who begin with a few milligrams a day, weeks later end up taking several grams just to get the same effect. Eventually, some users switch to injecting Methedrine (speed) directly into the blood stream. Of all the ways to administer drugs, injecting drugs carries the most risks as it bypasses the body’s natural filtering mechanisms, against disease and bacteria. Injection drug use is the preferred method, of ingestion, by people, because the effects of the drug are felt faster and the feeling of euphoria is reportedly intense.  

Injection drug use is a high-risk behavior that can be further exacerbated. Heroin, cocaine, crack and methamphetamine are the most commonly injected drugs. Because needles are expensive or hard to come by, drug users often times share needles, spreading sickness and death, by reusing or sharing needles and/or failing to clean the needle, with bleach, after each use. These actions can increase the user’s risk for blood-borne infections, such as the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis C, hepatitis B, and herpes simplex virus 2. In the United States of America, 25 percent of all people with AIDS, have been heterosexual drug users, who caught the disease by sharing needles and syringes, with someone infected by the virus, and in New York that percentage increase to a stark 34 percent. In the 21^st century, Asia is expected to be the large population on Earth with Aids. Therefore, be very careful to stay sober and have protected sex, if at all. Drug usage is also dangers for other reasons. 

Once people who are on meth become psychotic, they are very dangerous. True speed freaks typically go on binges lasting several days, after which they crash from lack of sleep and food, sometimes leaving a trail of blood and inexplicable carnage. A mother in Bakersfield, California, was punished by law enforcement, for stabbing her newborn, while in a meth rage. An Oklahoma woman drowned her baby, in a washing machine, in November. A New Mexico woman claiming to be God, stabbed her son with a screwdriver, last month, announcing, “God wants him dead!” Meth users become completely insane; they are unreasonable. They display very extreme alterations of normal brain function, becoming violent and lashing out, there are not any limits or boundaries to what someone high on meth may do. Also, amphetamines pose many dangers. To stay high, the abuser must take more and more of the drug and the body’s tolerance grows. Higher tolerance can cause nausea, vomiting, high blood pressure, fatal heart arrhythmia, and crippling strokes.

 Uppers can also lead to a depletion of the body’s energy, fatigue, depression, terrifying nightmares, confusion, uncontrolled irritability, and aggression. Along with overextending the body with stimulants, this behavior may lead to self-starvation, sores and non-healing ulcers, tooth grinding, chronic chest infections, liver disease, high blood pressure, and brain hemorrhage. Amphetamines can also cause a loss of contact with reality known as amphetamine psychosis. Affected users suffer from paranoid delusions that someone is out to get them. Acting on these delusions, the speed freak may become violent, resulting in self-injury or injury to others. Wesley Shermantine and Loren Herzog, were dubbed the  Speed Freak Killers  after a 15-year methamphetamine drug-induced killing spree that began in 1984 and ended in 1999. The two were teenagers when they went on a rampage, killing more than 20 young women, mostly, and some men and burying them in the Central Valley. 

The Central Valley of California is a hub of the nation’s methamphetamine distribution network, making extremely pure forms of the drug easily available locally. And law enforcement officials report widespread meth abuse is believed to be driving much of the crime in the vast farming region.  In Salinas California USA, Robert (Bubba) Hanrahan, age 41, oversaw the establishment of Street Gangs in San Francisco, California and other surrounding Bay Area counties. Norteño gang members engaged in drug trafficking and violent crime. From 2004 and 2005, Robert Hanrahan was the primary supplier of methamphetamine and cocaine to the San Francisco regiment. In January 2006, while Robert Hanrahan’s Salinas, California drug case was pending, he fled to Mexico. However, on 12 November 2006, Robert Hanrahan was apprehended at the U.S.-Mexico border. 

Most recently,  30 September 2014, in Sacramento, California USA, Robert Hanrahan was sentenced by United States District Judge, honorable William B. Shubb, to 31 years and three months, in prison, for conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine and cocaine, United States Attorney Benjamin B. Wagner reported. Also, the Federal Bureau of Investigations also reported that, This case and a related indictment have resulted in a number of significant sentences: On 21 April, 2010, Manuel Gauna was sentenced to more than 21 years in prison. On 13 December 2010, Richard Mendoza was sentenced to 17 years in prison. On 22 February 2011, Bismark Ocampo was sentenced to 28 years in prison. On 25 May 2011, the trial defendants were sentenced to the following: Larry Amaro was sentenced to 40 years in prison. Ernest Killinger was sentenced to 362 years in prison. Gerardo Mora was sentenced to more than 33 years in prison. Jason Stewart-Hanson was sentenced to 25 years in prison.

 And furthermore,  25 July 2011, Gabriel Caracheo was sentenced to 25 years in prison. On 27 July 2011, David Ramirez was sentenced to 15 years in prison. On 26 September 2011, Fernando Villalpando was sentenced to 20 years in prison. On 17 October 2011, Faustino Gonzalez was sentenced to more than 15 years. On 28 November 2011, Oscar Campos-Padilla was sentenced to 14 years in prison. On 24 September 2012, Rebecca Guzman was sentenced to 14 years in prison. On 22 January 2013, Juan Gallegos ( Wino), was sentenced to 28 years in prison, and on 23 December 2013, Carolyn Huerta, was sentenced to 10 years in prison. It is a devil of a thing to have no conscience! More sin is the only anodyne for sin, and the only way to cure the ache of conscience is to harden it. No war finishes without far-reaching results, and the conscience of a country, like the conscience of a man, may be too severely tired.

Bribed conscience makes hypocrites, frightened conscience makes fanatics, but reason-drilled conscience makes incarnate devils.  Along with the drug cases and Senator Ben Hueso’s (Democrat of an Diego) DUI arrest and second arrest for embezzlement, and Ronald S. Calderon, age 56, of Montebello, California being arrested and charged in a 24-count indictment, by a federal grand jury, for mail fraud, wire fraud, honest services fraud, bribery, conspiracy to commit money laundering, money laundering, and aiding in the filing of false tax returns; in conjunction with his brother Thomas M. Calderon, age 59, also of Montebello, California, a former member of the California State Assembly, also charged in the money laundering conspiracy and with seven substantive counts of money laundering, brings up so major concern about the unlawful, and unethical behavior demonstrated within the Latino political community. Whenever a lie was necessary for their occasions, they brought it out with a careless ease and breadth altogether untroubled by the rebuke of conscience.
