What do you know about "dope"?

The Dope Dilemma 

Every town has an epidemic. Towns full of overdoses, arrests, and senseless crimes. But when Wal-Mart stops carrying certain items and locks up the batteries you have reason for concern.

You see, where I live, my town, there is a huge drug problem. When I mean huge, I mean about 85% of the population is on drugs (currently using). If you haven't been to county yet, just wait because it's only a matter of time.


And you can get just about any kind of drug you want. Easily. Herion is not seen around much, but you could always substitute for some Florida Blue or Roxycotin, slammed, smoked, or snorted.

50% of the townspeople are dope heads. And by dope I'm referring to meth. It is everywhere.

There are stories of people making it in WalMart. I mean they have all the ingredients for it, or at least they did so it doesn't surprise me. I mean You might be minding your own business, counting the minutes til you get off work when you stumble across a 20 oz. bottle and empty boxes of cold pills on the floor in your local WalMart. This janitor did.

If this happens to you, or just stumble across a meth lab don't panic. The bottle won't just explode. However don't play around with it, it is considered a bomb. If I were you I'd leave the premises ASAP because the owner of that bottle is quite possibly a wide eyed version of Mickey Mouse and he will not be happy you have found what he has been looking for.

Before the bathroom stall bottle incident this lady spent six hours in WalMart stealing ingredients to mix up some meth before being caught. Six hours. 

So what do we do? The governement and town officials seem to thinkthey can stop it by taking away what the cooks need or putting restrictions on certsin items. This is not effective. It makes the items high in demand so that the companies can raise prices and this stimulates the economy because the cooks will find a way to get what they need to make the drug. Trust me.

And Pseduo brand has shown no interest in making "meth proof" pills. I mean they are raking in a pretty penny off all the dope heads. The line at the pharmacy is spread out so far it's blocking aisles. The ones there for that box stick out like a sore thumb.



I've always been an advocate for drug treatment. We are avoiding the problem by punishing men and women with a medical illness. We don't throw diabetics in jail for eating chocolate, why do we put addicts in jail when we could do the country a favor and rehabilitate them? Sure, it wouldn't solve all our problems, but it's at least worth a shot.
