Portland, Oregon is a nice place to live. So is Vancouver, WA., just across the Columbia river.
However, there is a disturbing trend going on. Its Methamphetimine use!
( Clark county is now "Crank" county )
" Tweekers " as we call them seem to be everywhere! I believe Meth is the worst problem because Tweekers are capable of just about anything. Just yesterday, some Meth head stabbed a police officer in the face with a screwdriver. ( officer is ok )
Traditional junkies ( heroin ) aren't nearly as bad, because they usually nod off. Whereas Tweekers are fully energized and up all night; which is the perfect time for crime that will fund their next fix.
Crank use is huge! Crimes are up, and there isn't enough jail space for all of 'em.
Identity theft, which is such a big deal now, is directly related to Meth use.
Its pretty easy to spot a tweeker; there are some telltail signs.
It seems like a scourge that can't be erradicated; They're making the stuff in Mexico now to ship up here, although there's plenty of "labs" around town.
The Sociological effects are profound
Does your city or town have these problems too???
Is there a solution to this epidemic???
