McDowell's nickname is MethDowell county for good reason. Its definitely nothing to brag about, and the numbers only show the busts, so you know there's a lot more in the county. They just haven't been caught yet. The meth busts are down for the county but there's still a lot going around. This is more dangerous than any drug out there. Its basically the poor whites that are cooking it. The worst part is a lot are doing all this with small children in the house. Most meth houses where its been going on for some time are unlivible and usually have to be destroyed.
I wouldn't entirely blame it on NAFTA except for the fact that meth is the least expensive habit they can have. If they have money and drug problems then they just abuse different, more convenient drugs.
In a weird way meth is the moonshine of today.
