The Meth Destroys campaign became more visible this month in Lawrence County after the Outdoor Advertising Association of Tennessee donated a billboard, which was unveiled by District Attorney General Mike Bottoms, promoting the statewide campaign?s Web site.

The billboard, in addition to others being placed across the state, will inform the public about the campaign?s Web site, www.MethFreeTN.org. It is located on Highway 31 South.

The Outdoor Advertising Association of Tennessee has partnered with the Tennessee District Attorneys General Conference as part of the Meth Destroys education campaign.

?Billboards are an effective way to get a message to the general public, and we are honored to have the opportunity to support the district attorneys in this important effort,? said Tim Griffin, Outdoor Advertising Association of Tennessee executive director.

?The billboard here in Lawrence County, as well as the other billboards across Tennessee, is going to help us spread the important message of the effects of methamphetamine,? said District Attorney General Bottoms.

The Meth Destroys Web site is www.MethFreeTN.org and provides information about the drug, including its effects on the body, state and national statistics, local information about law enforcement, ways to get help for individuals using meth, downloadable campaign materials and help for suspected meth use.

Meth Destroys is a methamphetamine education campaign organized by the Tennessee District Attorneys General Conference and funded by a grant from the

Governor?s Office. It includes outreach efforts by the district attorneys in Tennessee?s 95 counties to schools, businesses, and community and state organizations. For more information about Meth Destroys, visit www.MethFreeTN.org.
