    I thought everyone knew meth comes from Nazis. Like, not only have white-supremacist dirtbags been big in the US meth trade since forever, but the actual historical German Nazis were literally on meth. Here’s Wikipedia —

    From 1938, methamphetamine was marketed on a large scale in Germany as a nonprescription drug under the brand name Pervitin, produced by the Berlin-based Temmler pharmaceutical company. It was used by all branches of the combined armed forces of the Third Reich, for its stimulant effects and to induce extended wakefulness. Pervitin became colloquially known among the German troops as “Stuka-Tablets” (Stuka-Tabletten) and “Herman-Göring-Pills” (Hermann-Göring-Pillen), as a snide allusion to Göring’s widely-known addiction to drugs.

    (The Allies favored cigarettes, which Hitler hated.)
