Meth Awareness in Westport On Thursday, March 6 at 7 p.m. the Westport Christian Church will be hosting "Meth Awareness Night." The event is free and open to everyone in the community and surrounding areas. State Trooper Chip Ayers of the Indiana State Police Methamphetamine Task Force will be the evening's speaker. Methamphetamine or "Meth" as it is known, is a drug that has or will most likely effect every person in America some way or another. We have already seen a change in the way we buy common cold or allergy medicines. We now must show a photo identification card in order to buy over the counter medication with Sudafed as it is one of the ingredients used to manufacture the drug. It has destroyed families, has begun to break down society and has cost all of us. Our children are at risk as doctors tell us that Meth rewires the brain. While recovery may be possible, the brain will never be the same. "Every parent should be fully
equipped as possible to deal with what has been described as a drug which
is worse than heroin" said Westport Christian Church minister Mike
Bartlett. "Be smart, be aware, be equipped. I have heard Westport has a
drug problem. If that is the case, then we need to do something about it
because it will not go away on its own. But the truth is, not only does
Westport have a drug problem, Decatur County has a drug problem" said
Bartlett. Decatur County ranked 2nd in the state for Meth for police
actions for more than 2 years. Bartlett believes it is now time to join
together as a community to educate and to equip our community. |
