<DIV><BR></DIV>I don't believe the question was whether meth exists in
Moscow but if the state "Meth Projects" actually work. I think they
have proven to be a costly waste of time and resource but the sum total of
my knowledge would consist of personal opinion and a single documentary viewed
on Netflix instant play titled "American Meth" that interviews the
director of Montana's program along with teenagers and their views of the
billboards.<BR> <BR>Do you feel the sensationist billboards and tv ads
portray an honest account of the average users experience? If "Not Even
Once" means a kid tries it and doesn't whore themself out the next
day do you suppose they will feel they were lied to or they must be
stronger than meth so it must be ok to dabble with it on
weekends?<BR> <BR>Don <BR><BR><BR><BR><BR> <BR>> From:

text/plain; charset="windows-1252"<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> (I realize I just
echoed Tom's question -- sorry about that. Reading chronologically <BR>> gets
me every time).<BR>> <BR>> If Nancy Chaney said that Moscow does not have
a meth problem, I would be dismayed beyond measure. Having spent an enormous
amount of time working with a meth addict and a few of her friends in the Moscow
area over the last five or six years, it's clear to me that Moscow proper and
the outlying rural areas is choking with a meth problem. <BR>> <BR>> Our
friend Shannon, now deceased, was addicted. Her husband, also a dear friend, was
the biggest meth dealer on the Palouse and is now serving prison time because of
it. Her daughter has had a terrible time escaping its clutches, as have other
friends of Shannon's. I organized her funeral in March 2009; some 75 people,
many of whom were meth users, showed up to honor her memory, and I have heard of
a successful, long-lasting recovery for only one or two of them. I know another
family dealing with methamphetamine use and remember how heartsick I was when I
found out that an elementary school classmate of my son's -- right here in
Moscow -- had to be taken from her home because of one parent's addiction. The
Celebrate Recovery program at Bridge Bible Church appears to be growing, as
well; many of its clients are meth-affected.<BR>> <BR>> Of course, many of
our neighbors, both on the Right and on the Left, also don't think Moscow has an
HIV problem, a domestic violence problem, or a hunger problem. Some on the
Christian Right locally have made it clear none of those things -- IF they
existed -- would be of any particular concern to them, and that's shameful. But
my experience with some on the Left has lead me to see an insularity that
fosters the notion that since none of their acquaintances use meth, or get the
shit beaten out of them by their husbands, or go to bed hungry, or live with
undiagnosed HIV, it must not be a problem. That's just as shameful, and I would
be surprised if, in fact, Mayor Chaney thought meth wasn't an issue in her
town.<BR>> <BR>> It saddens me greatly that I know otherwise.<BR>>
