Recently we reviewed Methland, a look at America’s meth epidemic through the eyes of small town Olewein, Iowa.Earlier this week, a report from Iowa’s Office of Drug Control Policy found that, although alcohol remains the state’s number one intoxicant of choice, that marijuana and methamphetamine are the most abused illicit drugs by Iowans.The epidemic, it seems, has not relented.Based on admissions data from addiction treatment centres, 61 percent of admissions are for alcohol addiction, 23 percent for primarily marijuana abuse, and 8 percent for meth. Although this represents all age groups, marijuana was the primary abused substance for 56 percent of juvenile clients.Meth, which had been declining in Iowa steadily for the last five years, has recently spiked in popularity again.Source: The Iowa Independent
