Law enforcement in New Hampshire has uncovered 15 methamphetamine labs over the last year and half… the highest number of busts by far of any new England state. Officials caution that the spike is nothing to panic about yet, but they’re moving quickly to prevent a crisis that has left many communities throughout the nation devastated. We’ll look at what’s proposed to thwart meth making and ask why the drug is so dangerous when it takes root.

Laura's guests are Jacqui Abikoff, Executive Director of the Horizons Counseling Center, Special Agent Leo Ducey of the Federal Drug Enforcement Administration, and Jane Young, Senior Assistant District Attorney in New Hampshire.
