About Meth

About Meth

Methamphetamine, also known as "crank" or "speed", is a potent central nervous system stimulant with the potential to cause drug dependence. Possession, manufacture, or distribution is unlawful in many countries, including the United States.

According to a statement published by Sheriff Bill Mahoney, the Cowlitz County Sheriff’s Office faces several challenges over the next few years. The greatest threat to the safety of our citizens, currently, is the all-too-prevalent use of the drug, Methamphetamine. The manufacture and use of Meth in our region is far too high. While no level is acceptable, the numbers should upset any citizen who cares about the safety and security of their family and community.

In the criminal justice area, we see an enormous impact. About 80% of the criminal cases handled by law enforcement personnel involve Meth; either possession, use or manufacturing. The jails, prisons and courts are overwhelmed with Meth related cases as well.
