North Dakota is number one in \*per capita \*googling for boobs, [by state](http://statestats.appspot.com/?q=boobs).  
The south enjoys looking for butts. [Georgia leads](http://statestats.appspot.com/?q=butts).  
Montanans? They spend their hours [seeking meth.](http://statestats.appspot.com/?q=meth)  
Googles StateStats feature looks to be abusable on any number of topics. 😃

I’m not really surprised. [Ever seen the Montana Meth Project ads?](http://www.montanameth.org/View_Ads/index.php) They’re an _effective_ version of what “Reefer Madness” attempted to accomplish. They, much like meth, will keep you awake for a while.

Ah, I wondered that this wasn’t already here. It is!

Considering that I’m currently living and teaching in Montana and grew up in a state that was, at the time, the “meth capital of the U.S.”, I was interested to read a student paper arguing _against_ the Montana Meth Project ads on the grounds that their portrayal of addiction is so horrific that it encourages stereotyping of and prejudice against former meth addicts.  
There may be a compelling argument to be made for this position (the paper didn’t do it), but I’m in full support of the MMP ads for the simple reason that I’ve seen meth addiction in my family, and I’m far more concerned about preventing this kind of horror in the first place than I am about any perceived prejudice against former meth users. I mean, I heartily applaud anyone who’s exorcised meth from his or her life. But let’s try and prevent others from going through that too, huh?

Sorry. But if Montanans are at least doing google-research on meth, maybe knowledge will overcome for once.

The best one I’ve heard is that the government has cried wolf for so long about so many less harmful drugs that the MMP is too little, too late. When you’ve already equated marijuana with heroin, your credibility is in a worse shape than a methhead’s teeth.
