A very well written account of widespread Meth addition January 31, 2011

By Gargantuan Media

Format:Unknown Binding

A dark true tale of the socio-economic forces of greed and despair that destroyed a small Iowa town and many more like it. Featuring Roland Jarvis a meth cook who literally blew his face off, Lori Arnold the one-time queen of meth (sister to comedian Tom Arnold) and the Mexican Drug Trafficking Organizations who use illegal immigration of migrant and undocumented workers as a cover for funneling tons of cheap crank into Midwestern America.

A very well written account of widespread Meth addition and the U.S. Government's efforts to control it. Featuring local and federal law makers including former Rep. Mark Souder(R-IN) whose Combat Meth Act from 2006 was one of the first real (and long overdue) pieces of legislation to fight Meth in America.
