News Summary

Positive employee drug-test results for methamphetamine fell more than 70 percent between 2005 and 2006, according to a new report from the Montana Meth Project and the state's attorney general.

The Associated Press reported Jan. 25 that Attorney General Mike McGrath also said that the number of reported meth labs in the state appeared to decline as a $6-million anti-meth media campaign picked up steam and a law cracking down on meth-making ingredients took hold. "Clearly the highly visible prevention campaign conducted by the Montana Meth Project has had an enormous impact," he said.

Research shows that 93 percent of Montana students now view methamphetamine use as a "great risk," and meth seizures and offenses both dropped dramatically between 2005 and 2006.
