"Methamphetamine epidemic in America"


11 of 12

The morning after several of the sisters and Ricky went out to celebrate Sandy's 41st birthday, we visited Sandy's house only to find her completely drugged up and barely able to open her eyes or speak. Just before we arrived she took 9 pills of pain killers including three Oxycontine. Her friend Chontel has passed out from taking half the amount Sandy took. Sandi (41) used to be a Meth addict and was able to stop only by becoming seriously addicted to pain killers such as Oxycontine, and Dulidid. Her son Josh is 18 and addicted to Meth.
