The man has a longer sentence because he also has previous drug trafficking convictions. The U.S. Attorney Andrew Birge says "West Michigan has recently seen an increase in the distribution of methamphetamine, which is an extremely dangerous drug that destroys lives." Methamphetamine is rising no matter where it's located, whether it's in the south, midwest, or eastern United States. Usage and abuse rates are stilling going up as it's hard to contain the production and shipment of it. ]]> 2020-10-07 13:26:35 UTC https://padlet.com/dominickarynca74/l7nkvddo1m2swll1/wish/810172361 dominickarynca74 https://padlet.com/dominickarynca74/l7nkvddo1m2swll1/wish/810200074 Since the coronavirus, reports have suggested the price of the raw ingredient of cocaine, is falling. This actually hurts more than it seems, future supplies are threaten as South American coca farmers switch to alternative crops to put food on the table.This gap in the market could play into the hands of manufacturers of methamphetamine looking to expand into Europe. "Historically, meth production in Europe has been quite localized, serving small domestic markets or exporting to more profitable regions like Asia-Pacific and the Middle East." The authors Ian Hamilton and Harry Sumnall also note that over the past few decades , drug policies, and criminalisation have seemed to fail. So now this seems like a perfect opportunity for methamphetamine to take over and expand over Europe and increase it's users and abusers. Citizens and voters have asked to extend the logic to the drug policies but right now it is not looking good. Along with changes in the global supply chain, we have a pandemic that provides fertile conditions for a stimulant like meth because many people are doing less than usual.]]> 2020-10-07 13:33:44 UTC https://padlet.com/dominickarynca74/l7nkvddo1m2swll1/wish/810200074 dominickarynca74 https://padlet.com/dominickarynca74/l7nkvddo1m2swll1/wish/810383011 American Addiction Centers Editorial Staff.
