Yep, I very seldom see meth any more, but Rx fraud, burglaries for Rx pills, pharmacy robberies, doctor shopping, etc., is rampant. Way more heroin users too, because they can't afford Oxy's.

Utah's a weird environment (yeah, there's a surprise!... crazy ), because a lot of people don't drink alcohol because of their religious views, but think if they're doctor prescribes something, it must be okay, and a if one pill is alright, a few must be better. We see lots of DUI's with Rx drugs, and I'm pretty sure we lead the nation in Rx overdose deaths.
