The other factual error is about the medical uses for meth, as it's schedule 2.

Due to its high potential for abuse, methamphetamine is classified as a Schedule II drug and is available only through a prescription that cannot be refilled. Although methamphetamine can be prescribed by a doctor, its medical uses are limited, and the doses that are prescribed are much lower than those typically abused.

I can't disagree that meth would be any worse than some of the legal bath salt concoctions out there. It's also likely that some of the health problems associated with it are due to poor manufacturing techniques.

The fact that people go days without sleep and go insane, has got to be a concern if meth were legal. At least with smack heavy use is likely to make the person less dangerous as they spend the day nodding. Heavy meth use can lead to some crazy shit that affects the neighborhood.
