The Washington Times has a good series of articles about meth, which along with oxycontin, is wreaking havoc here in the South. These are our new scourges, and there may not be a Dr. Goldberger out there to get us out of this particular mess.
Posted by floridacracker at July 11, 2005 10:11 AMIt's crazy how quickly this drug is spreading across the States... I these facts a week or so ago based on a MSNBC article on the matter:
* 87 percent of agencies report increases in meth-related arrests starting three years ago. Arizona, Arkansas, California, Florida, Indiana, Louisiana, Minnesota, Nevada, New Mexico, Ohio, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Washington and Wyoming reported 100 percent increases.
* 70 percent say robberies or burglaries have increased because of meth use.
* 62 percent report increases in domestic violence because of meth use.
It is so sad, but true. Great site you've got here. I'm adding you to my blogroll.
