Methlahoma explains how the methamphetamine epidemic has adversely affected various people in Oklahoma. The opioid crisis has been well covered but the meth crisis may be worse. To better understand how a man-made drug like meth is destroying communities Methlahoma describes the history of the drug trade and how the United States uses the criminal justice system to fight the "war on drugs."
