The Prospector www.carroll.edu 4 ... : ' Montana Meth Project targets students By Patrick Manning Intern Writer You've seen the commercials and heard the stories about the growing problems with metham- phetamines across the nation and largely in the state of Montana. But what do we really know about one of the largest drug problems this area? Meth, also known as 'ice' or 'glass,' has a reputation for being an easy to access, \white trash\ drug. This reputation comes in large part to the fact that it is affordable compared to other drugs (around $20 per gram, $350 per ounce), and the ingredients can be found at the local Osco Drug or Wal-Mart. Common cold medications and painkillers, such as Tylenol Cold and Celebrex, contain the key ingredients, ephedrine and pseu- doephedrine, to making meth. High amounts of these chemicals send a rush to the brain, creating a high that can last up to 12 hours. \After the initial \rush there is typically a high state of agitation that in some individuals can lead to violent behavior,\ explains the National Drug Institute. These behaviors affect the family and friends closest to the users the strongest. The Montana Meth Project, a charitable organization centered in Helena, advocates a stop to methamphetamine experimenta tion and use with the slogan \Not even once.\ First time users of this drug find such an intense stimulation that 'one time' is almost never case. This is has led to the problem Montana is faced with right now. \Between 2000 and 2002, the amount of labs found in the state of Montana increased by (an out rageous) 269%, 33 to 122,\ according to the Montana Department of Justice. In response to these numbers, drug stores are now limiting the amount of cold and pain medica tions sold to a single person. These products are often locked up behind the counter to avoid theft as frequent users can not keep up on the expensive demand this drug holds. The Montana Meth Project is working to make people across the state more aware of the risks involved with meth, and is aiming strictly at the youth to discourage any experimentation. The Project is attempting to confront this epi demic through realistic ads and situations on radio and television. Students at Carroll College are part of this target audience as the average meth user ranges in age from 18-25 years old. Students aren't the only ones the Montana Meth Project hopes to help. Montanans across the state are feeling the effects of meth abuse as treating victims of job loss and intensive health care is costing the state of Montana millions of dollars each year. The Project hopes to build support across the state to help bring and end to meth abuse. \Backed by a significant paid- media placement as well as donat ed media, this campaign will be the largest media cause-marketing effort of its kind in the history of Montana\ (MMP). Without a doubt, this is one effort worth working toward. For more information, contact the Montana Meth Project at montanameth.org.
