The purpose of this blog is to taker a closer look into the meth addiction in the State of Idaho and what is being done about it. I’m interested in researching what demographics are primarily using; i.e. wealthy vs. poor, educated vs. non-educated etc… Meth is a highly addictive drug even more so than heroin, it’s no wonder that 52% of Idaho’s prison mates are there due to their meth addictions. Currently the state of Idaho is in the process of launching a “Not Even Once” campaign against the use of meth, the primary focus is targeting teens since statistically 77% of teens try meth before the age of 15. The state of Idaho, from schools to hospitals are rallying behind the battle against meth as they have recognized the growing use of meth in the state. The opponents to this issue and the campaign are going to be those that are current users/are making money at the exploitation of those who are addicted.
