Starting in May 2005, the AG Rob McKenna partnered with Lead On America, a Snohomish County community-based anti-drug organization, and a 21-year-old recovering meth addict named Jamie to talk to students in high schools and middle schools around the state about the dangers of meth and what it can do their bodies, lives and communities.
The Operation: Allied Against Meth presentation intersperses personal presentations by AG McKenna, Lead-On America and Jamie with a video by MTV about the dangers of meth and ecstasy and airings of Montana Meth project advertisements.
After each presentation, McKenna and staff distribute "Don't Meth Around" bracelets or window clings.
