›› South Dakota: Drug Climate

Throughout the state of South Dakota the use of meth continues to affect the rural areas, as well as the urban areas. Over the past year, the use and demand for meth has increased. Public efforts are underway by law enforcement, politicians, social service agencies and the media to further educate the public as to the dangers of methamphetamine use and abuse. Additionally, marijuana is readily available in all areas of South Dakota.
