I'm guessing that most meth users aren't "recreational" users, and that they would still use it regardless of the legal status of marijuana.

You're probably right. I think most start out as recreational users and have no idea what they're getting into. They won't believe the warnings. After all, dot gov lied about the effects of "killer weed". It's not long though, before the smiles fade and reality sets in.
It's a two-fold problem. There's the users and the problems they create, and there are the problems posed by meth labs.
If we encounter a lab, our training dictates that we back away very carefully, evacuate surrounding buildings, and call in the fire dept. and HAZMAT teams. NO WAY are we going to enter and try to dismantle a lab! Even HAZMAT experts shudder at the thought.
