An increase in availability of methamphetamine has been linked to the nation’s heroin epidemic and local officials say the rise in accessibility to the stimulant is evident in more investigations and drug seizures.

Methamphetamine and heroin provide two different kinds of inebriation. The former provides a flash “high” through stimulation while the latter provides a sense of euphoria and then a slow drowsiness.

“I’d say we’re now seeing more meth than heroin,” said Capt. Aaron Nedeff of the Marietta Police Department.
