This morning’s Coeur d’Alene Press skewspaper had an article reporting that Kootenai County had donated $40,000 in seized drug money to the Idaho Meth Project.
Here’s an October 11, 2012, Associated Press article headlined Mexican cartels fill demand for meth in USA. One of the urban and suburban areas mentioned in the article? Salt Lake City. Somehow I doubt that all that product is staying in Salt Lake City.
The AP article gives us a pretty clear picture of the economics of Mexican meth coming into the US.
