METH AND LIQUOR
While I understand the brutal effect methmaphetamine is having on the
community it is masking a much bigger problem -- alcohol. Alcohol is the
key factor in a wider range of crimes as well as domestic violence and has
been since time immemorial.
P is relatively new to the scene so the public and media are focusing more
on it. Just because alcoholic beverages have been around longer and are
widely consumed "recreationally", its danger is given less importance. We
need to change this dependence on all types of substances -- especially the
number one danger alcohol.
