Drugs in little towns

[Sevenfold]

I live in a town that the populstion is no higher then 300 ppl liveing in this town, just this week there where 21 meth labs found. 19 being on the same road. Any other city or town you know of thats getting a real bad drug problem?

You live in West Virginia? I know it's a big problem all over there. Smaller the town, greater the problem.

No i live in a small town in kentucky. Pills are really bad here. But i guess the drug of choice is meth now

Meth is rampant in KY. I live there too and my town had the honor (sarcasm) of being on the national news. They called us the "Meth Capital of America". Sadly it is an epidemic. It's a cheap drug to make that sells for big money and is highly addictive.

Once upon a time in Kentucky...

"Got the Meth?"
"Got the Bonfires?"

😂😭😓

21 labs for 300 ppl, that sounds more like a Meth factory than Meth labs. That's mass production. 🏭

Meth and prescription drug abuse it rediculous in this country. If you've got time watch "OxyContin Express", quick documentary about pain management clinics.

And a new documentary called "Oxyana" is coming, sounds great.

My little town in upstate NY has had the same problem. Had about 6 of them discovered. Darn you Walter White, darn you.

All due to war on drugs. You had the same 💩 going on with prohibition on alcohol, and learned nothing from it.

I wonder what would happen if all illegal substances were legalized.  I have a feeling that the usage rate would drop drastically.  So many people have the mentality that they need to do everything they're not supposed to just because they can.  If they're allowed to do everything, would they still do it?

EDIT: Not saying that stuff should be legalized.  Just a wondering of mine

In Chicago there was a housing project that would make a 100k a month in sales.

That's not the point, the point is that if you decriminalise drugs, you kill off criminals. The stuff will be produced and sold by the likes of P&G and GSK and the drug cartels will disappear overnight.

As for the users, I couldn't care less what do they do with their lives but most importantly who am I to care? Volenti non fit iniuria, it's their lives. F*ing nanny state.

I would have no problems if pot was legal. But meth, heroin, and drugs like that should never be legal. Its sad that the best job you can have in this country is selling drugs. If you can make a living of selling drugs, then whats the point of work 12 hour days at a factory to barely get buy. Something needs to be done about this problem.

If it were legal, major companies would make it better and cheaper than Joe Blow on the street. Joe Blow would be out of the job.

How many people are out there profiting from making their own alcohol?  Not like they were in the days of prohibition.
