 There's trouble in SD and it has a name:
methamphetamine. Meth has some other names too: crank, crystal, ice,
poor man's cocaine, glass tweak, zip and speed. This addictive,
powerful, and destructive drug has a solid foothold in our home state.
What can we do?
Knowledge of the problem is the first step.
Methamphetamine affects more than just
the person ravaged by their addiction. The story of the meth epidemic in
the prairie region will be told firsthand through those hardest hit: the
members of families torn apart by this insidious drug, the criminal
justice system scrambling to contain a drug supply that seemingly has no
end, the medical and counseling professions struggling to find treatment
that works, and the first hand stories of those addicts Ârecovering and
not who are living their life one day at a time in the shadow of meth.
The Shadow of Meth program was produced by
a consortium of public television and radio stations in some of the
states hardest hit by the meth epidemic: North Dakota, South Dakota,
Nebraska, Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Kansas City.
