Illegal drugs, especially methamphetamine (or crank as it is better known on the streets), continues to underlie many of our local crime problems; it has adverse effects on the overall quality of life here and it has significant health care implications.

Accordingly, they commissioned a research project to learn more about the methamphetamine abuse situation in our county. There are interesting, if not alarming, statistical facts that were revealed by the study. Read the complete story here.
