Good market data for meth entrepreneurs.

The trippy drug vibe is maybe too cute, but good for a chuckle. And isn't this the kind of data that stacked bar chars were made for?

I don't think I'm a huge fan - but neat none the less. Using a Stacked bar chart isn’t that terrible in this case – comparing relative percentages across the different regions..
