4th District Issues
Meth has become an issue not only in Tennessee, but throughout the country. Methamphetamine destroys families and communities. It's cheap, easy to make, and highly addictive. It is deadly and has been known to kill people who don't even use it.
So when we talk about meth we are not just talking about one drug and how it affects the user. We are also talking about the health and well being of those living in the same environment on a daily basis. And more often then not they are children. I am working with federal, state, and local officials to rid our homes of this terrible scourge.
I applaud the efforts of Tennessee Governor Phil Bredesen and the General Assembly for enacting strict laws on the sale of meth-making materials such as pseudoephedrine.
