"When the meth project first started its highly visible campaign in September 2005, Montana ranked fifth in methamphetamine abuse. Today, Montana is 39th. In 2008, teen meth use is down 45 percent from 2005... and meth-related crime has decreased by 62 percent."The campaign was initially funded by an individual donor, but the goal has always been to make it self-funding, officials said. In 2009, organizers plan to push for a $2 million allocation from the state legislature, an amount that they say will be enough to fund the project for two more years. Source: Missoulian News
