What Can Be
Done ?
Would the number of
meth makers change much if nothing was done by law enforcement? It's
sorta like whack-a-mole. Shut one down and another pops up. Fear of
the law appears to have little effect on the need to use and produce.
One thing for sure, from
investigation to incarceration,
enforcement is very expensive.
Ohio BCI thinks
meth is the drug of choice in rural areas. Could it also be true
rural areas are a good place to manufacture the drug for state wide
distribution?
Would
decriminalizing marijuana, be a step in the right direction?

Of
the 881 methamphetamine lab busts in Ohio this year, almost 9 percent
have been found in Highland County.
The total figure is a 45 percent jump over 2012.
The Highland County Sheriff's Officetotal of 76 so far is the most it's ever found in a year, while there are more than two months left on the calendar. And that figure doesn't include the meth labs found by the Hillsboro or Greenfield police departments, or other municipalities in the county.
The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer reported the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation numbers Tuesday, noting that meth is becoming a drug of choice in the rural parts of the state.
