West Virginia Crystal Meth Addiction

A growing problem in West Virginia is local Methamphetamine use. Treatment facilities statewide report that the number of admissions in relation to Meth are relatively low, although health officials seem to think that this is due to the fact that the drug is so new to the area. Locals, in primarily western counties control the production and retail sale of Methamphetamine. It is rarely available for wholesale distribution. Law enforcement agencies in West Virginia’s metropolitan areas are reporting that many Crack-cocaine users are beginning to use Meth instead, because it produces similar but longer lasting physiological effects. Purity of the drug has been found to be anywhere from 15 to 100 percent pure and the amount that is seized each year has been diminishing. Many of the laboratories that are used in the production of Methamphetamine are inside of private vehicles, which is very dangerous to both producers and their passengers.
