If what was said about Iowa having less drug abuse is true then there should be a big drop in the number of meth labs but We still have more meth labs than the rest of the country so…. Maybe you should get you stories investigated better before you “web em’?”

As you can see, that article is a news release from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. You can contact the agency at 1-800-729-6686 to let them know that your research is more up-to-date that theirs.
