Alabama Crystal Meth Addiction

In 2006 Methamphetamine was identified as the number one drug problem in Alabama for the second year in a row. In year 2002 to year 2004, laboratory seizures in the state increased significantly from 261 seizures in 2002 to 404 in 2004, although that number is on the decline and in 2006 there were only 193 seizures. The lower purity locally produced drug is now being implemented by imported higher quality Crystal Meth, brought in by Mexican criminal organizations and motorcycle gangs. Law enforcement officials report that dealers at the retail level distribute in order to support their own use of the substance. Despite the sky high number of user's state wide, Alabama continues to take children away for this reason at the lowest rate in the United States.
