CS Physician Treats Patients Suffering from Injection Related Abscess Essay

Watch the Vice News documentary titled “The Crystal Meth Epidemic Plaguing 

Fresno”. Pay close attention to the individuals from the valley that find themselves at the 

heart of the debate (both “good“ and “bad”). After you have completed this meaningful 

screening, ask yourself and answer the following questions; Who are these involved 

citizens? (i.e. Dr. Lasher, Dallas Blanchard, Det. Pennal, Deputy Baylon, Drug Dealer, 

Pastor Juan, etc.) What walks of life do they view the issue from? (i.e. occupation, 

socio-economic status, religion, etc.) What are your thoughts about Proposition 47 

mentioned in the film? Where do you think the debate will navigate into the future? (ex: 

going after the supply or demand side, cartels as terrorist organizations, etc.) Do you 

think the film is fair/unfair in its characterization of Fresno as the Meth capital of the 

nation? Include data figures/outside sources to strengthen your argument
