Should teachers and day-care workers always have these meth `scratch and sniff` cards handy, to help find children that may be living in meth-producing houses? (KSDK) - A state lawmaker wants to equip teachers or daycare workers with a better awareness of the presence of methamphetamines. `Everybody`s probably smelled marijuana or heard it, or smelled it if they were even at a concert. But methamphetamine has a very distinct smell that smells like cat urine.` So Michael McAuliffe has won house approval to provide certain professionals with scratch and sniff cards so they can compare a meth smell with unusual odors they might detect on the clothing, hair, or skin of their students, indicating the child had been exposed to the drug`s production or use. http://www.ksdk.com/news/news_artic...

I don't see any harm in them, so I see no need to not use them, especially if it means you could be protecting the welfare of that child.

Never heard of this..I guess it's a good idea, but if meth smells like cat piss, what if they just have a lot of cats? Couldn't they get into trouble for assuming they live in a meth lab?

No body should do it. Meth should be procuced in plant where it can be made safely and produce a product that is pure.

What exactly does marijuana sound like...? Here's my question, though, if it smells like cat urine, how can they tell the difference between a kid from a house where meth is being produced and a kid from a house with a lot of cats? Though, I suppose if they smelled like cat urine the cats aren't being taken care of properly anyway so they're probably breaking some law at any rate...
