Meth in Washington
Washington state once was a poster child
for the meth epidemic. Nearly 2,000 toxic meth labs and
dumps were uncovered and the collateral damage the drug
caused ran rampant. Now the state is the poster child for
the meth fight done right. Washington's landmark meth
initiative created active "meth action teams" in almost
every county and between community action and legislation,
the number of lab discoveries fell 90%.
