Myth of Methamphetamine "Epidemic"

The Sentencing Project has released a new major study disproving the popular belief that there exists a growing methamphetamine “epidemic” within the United States.

To the contrary, The Next Big Thing? Methamphetamine in the United States, reveals that methamphetamine is actually one of the rarest of illegal drugs used, with its use declining among youth, stabilizing among adults and demonstrating no increase in first-time users.

The Next Big Thing? documents the sensationalist coverage of “meth” by most media sources that have distorted national trends of the drug’s actual prevalence, growth, dangers and treatment.

Important findings of the report include:

* Methamphetamine is among the least commonly used drugs.
* Methamphetamine remains a rare occurrence throughout most of the country and is not indicative of a nationwide problem.
* Methamphetamine use is declining among our nation’s youth.
* Drug treatment programs are highly effective in combating methamphetamine addictions.

Click here for the Full Report, complete with recommendations for a more appropriate and evidence based approach to methamphetamine.

National Public Radio’s Talk of the Nation, “How Bad Is the U.S. Meth Problem?,” June 14, 2006

Houston Chronicle, Study Finds Use of Meth Far from an ‘Epidemic,’ June 16, 2006

FAIR’s CounterSpin, “Ryan King on Meth Craze,” June 23, 2006










Of course, this is some libbie pinko group...

"The Sentencing Project is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization which promotes reduced reliance on incarceration and increased use of more effective and humane alternatives to deal with crime. It is a nationally recognized source of criminal justice policy analysis, data, and program information. Its reports, publications, and staff are relied upon by the public, policymakers and the media."




So, a grain of salt. Just one more excuse to have the gumint track who buys "precursors" from Wally World...

Great advise!! NOT!! "Keep good hygene and you'll be fine"?? WTF are you babbling about?? Stay off the board with bullshit!

On a more pleasant note, I believe that its true that meth is on the decline over-all and that the government uses anything, true or not, to manipulate the public into supporting their rediculas "drug war".

The reason that meth is on the decline is mostly because people have gotten privy to the poison. Simple as that. Second is due to the draconian laws that we endure in this country.

Meth is not illegal, its legal in all 50 states, under the pharmecutical brand names "Desoxyn, & Desoxyn Gradumet" and listed as a Sched 2 narcotic, alegedly less dangerous than Marijuana (LOL).

Primary use is for childrens Attention Deficit disorder. Ages 6 and up baby.......
