Montana Attorney General Mike McGrath and Missoula-area social workers are balking at a report by the Sentencing Project, which this week said the prevalence of methamphetamine use in the United States has been overstated.“I think these people have their heads in the sand,” McGrath said Thursday.The Sentencing Project is a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit group that supports alternatives to prison terms for convicted drug users and other criminals. The report cited statistics compiled by the government in 2004 that show 0.2 percent of people had used meth in the past month, compared with 0.8 percent who said they had used cocaine within the past month."
