Good paying jobs would be great! Safety is foremost! Reduced drug-use and reduced crime would be Awesome! There seems to be lots of home-burglaries, vehicle break-ins, meth labs and violence in our town. I’ve been surprised at the small penalties people receive for making meth. Now heroin and opiates must be easy to obtain, seeing the deaths by overdose we’ve witnessed. These opiates are drugs prescribed by doctors, and this is a huge problem across our nation. This War on Drugs needs to begin with awareness that it isn’t all illegals bringing in drugs from other countries, and opium from Afghanistan — it’s also citizens deciding to use these terribly addictive substances. The solution has to start with each of us and what we’re willing to ingest and tell ourselves we need or want; alcohol, pot and tobacco cause enough problems and deaths in our society. Meth, cocaine, heroin, and opium-derivative addictions are causing widespread hell.
