You get an hour southwest of St. Louis, and you're in the Ozark foothills, lots of forests, small towns, and it's a HUGE problem. I think rural Missouri must be the worst place in the country for meth labs.

It's rampant in the "boot heel" of Missouri too and has been for years.

Tacoma WA would give rural MO a run for the money. Even up here on Whidbey Is. the problem isn't insignificant.

I live in rural Missouri and during hunting season they tell us if we spot something suspect in the woods, call the Sheriff. It's one time in the year where you can find more meth labs than deer.

Wal Mart is also a hot spot for the portable meth vans. Several times the parking lot has been shut down. What do these Meth Heads think the cameras at the check out are for...entertainment while they check out their Sudafed and cough medicine?

Just learned the other day that rotting teeth in young people is a sigh of heavy meth use, not bade dental hygiene. Of course, if you are high, brushing your teeth is not a priority.

For a while, Independence, MO was the "Meth Capital" of the US. I don't know if that's still the case.

It's a HUGE problem in rural North Carolina, as well.

Its been rampant in KC for at least 6 years now.

Across the border in the Arkansas Ozarks is bad too.
