Missouri Meth: Labs Down, Trafficking Up

Two recent articles, the Columbia Missourian and the Springfield News Leader, both report that while Missouri meth labs have declined, imported crystal meth is on the rise in Missouri. The Missourian reports that the border at El Paso, Texas has seen a 479% increase in meth over the last three years. Both articles report that imported crystal meth is far purer and more addictive than the locally produced powder. The News-Leader reports that meth is crossing socio-economic levels, reporting that a school board member from Nixa was recently arrested for possession of methamphetamine.
