Keep your meth out of our state! Sure, Breaking Bad glamorizes it by giving viewers hope that if you’re diagnosed with cancer and live on a teacher’s salary, you could start a meth lab to afford treatment. We at Chicken-Fried News have since learned that, well, reality just doesn’t happen that way.

Police seized 9.5 pounds of the drug and 70 grams of what we’re guessing wasn’t medically prescribed marijuana packed inside a Nissan Altima.
