U.S. Rep. Brad Carson (D-Claremore) will hold a community forum on the methamphetamine epidemic in Oklahoma at the Sallisaw Civic Center at 6 p.m. March 31.

The forum will be lead by members of his staff, Carson announced in a press release issued Wednesday.

The forum is open to the public and will address Carson's pending legislation on control of pseudoephedrine and his work in U.S. Congress in the battle against methamphetamine. Pseudoephedrine, an over-the-counter drug, is used in the manufacture of methamphetamine.

The forum will include law enforcement and other community leaders discussing ways to work together to combat this epidemic, Carson said.

"In order to effectively combat the growing methamphetamine epidemic we must work together. That is why I am seeking input from the communities in my district about how we can curb the threat this dangerous drug poses to all Oklahomans," Carson said.

After an experiment that lasted several months, the editors at Your TIMES decided this week to end the practice of allowing anonymous comments on our website because most of the comments involve personal attacks and unfounded accusations. These comments do not add information to a story, or add any true insight. While we believe in the free exchange of ideas, it had become evident that was not what was happening in the comment section of our website. Readers can also become fans of Your TIMES on Facebook and may comment on our postings there. Readers are also encouraged to write letters to the editor to the newspaper about matters of public interest. The newspaper circulation is several times that of the web site, so readership is much higher. Letters must include a name and phone number so that we may contact the writer to verify authenticity of the letter. Letters are limited to 500 words and one letter per writer per month is accepted.
