Louis Lacey used meth years ago. He’s been sober, an outreach worker, for a long time now.
But meth is still part of his daily life — as he sees it everywhere in Las Vegas.
I met him when I was speaking in Las Vegas and he was nice enough to take some time to chat.
His comments about meth on the streets of his city are echoed by others who work in the field in many other places in the country.
Meth from Mexico has flooded America, more pure and cheaper than ever before, which is what Louis’ comments echo.
It’s become one of the most pressing issues facing local and county government in many parts of the country, in large part because of the mental illness and homelessness it either creates, or exacerbates.
