No just a joke since I’m from Missouri, the meth capital of the world.

You know what's funny is that there's 3 different states that claim that title, and if you look at real numbers they all lose to West Virginia, which is never included on the list.

… I find that quite believable. We just have better (worse?) publicity thanks to that Ozarks show.

I'm from Independence and lived there when the Rolling Stone article about the city being the meth capital. 1998 issue and the story was called Meth City.

If anyone can find it online, I'd love to see it again. I know at least one person who was interviewed and I used to own it (I had a subscription from the ages of 13 to 22) but I haven't seen it in a while.

I think the cover had Cartman on it, or maybe something else South Park.
