newspaper articles on crystal meth?

[saucyaussies]

Hey everyone,

I am doing a project that is supposed to be on a health issue that has a global impact, and we are supposed to put together a scrapbook of newspaper/magazine articles about it.  I have decided to do mine on crystal meth, not sure about down there, but is all over the news up here. 

Anyways, I was thinking that in order to show that it is a global issue it would be neat to get articles from all over.  So....if any of you have a couple spare minutes and wouldn't mind scanning any articles that you see about crystal meth in your newspapers I would be SO appreciative!  Don't feel that you need to, but if you happen to see an article and happen to be board and feel like firing it on over, that would be awesome.  It just needs the newspaper info somewhere on it (usually it is at the top of each page) so I know where it came from.

You can send it to saucyaussies at hotmail dot com.

Thanks!

Ya know I looked at the chicagoland papers and find very little on Crystal Meth or Methamphetimines.

Maybe we're too jaded about it by now

I think things like this go in waves as well.  Right now there is a big push in the area to get programs going to keep kids away from it.  If there are no new programs etc on the rise in a community, it isn't going to get the media coverage because otherwise, "who cares" seems to be the general attitude when it comes to media.
