North Dakota Meth
"Meth is a thief. It steals youth, it steals health, it can steal life itself."
                                                      -Governor John Hoeven


Methamphetamine is a highly addictive drug with devastating effects on its users. It is the number one drug threat for North Dakota and the surrounding areas. In fact, according to Shadowofmeth.com, 60% of North Dakota's male prison population are meth users, and 80-90% of the women prison population were arrested for meth related crimes. There is hope for meth addicts, though, as studies have shown that treatment can work, and there are many resources for help and recovery in North Dakota.
