Why has Rowan County become plagued with a major Drug Problem after Operation UNITE opened shop here?
By nighthawk • Aug 22nd, 2008 • Category: Opinions and EditorialsThis is an honest open and legit question.
Does ANYBODY have any honest, open, and legit answers?
August 23rd, 2008 at 12:22 am
Rowan County has had a drug problem for a number of years. Maybe UNITE has uncovered/exposed the problem. If anyone thinks that we have not had a drug problem for at least the last 15 years then it is time to come out of the cave. Ask any high school kid where to get drugs. They can tell you.
August 23rd, 2008 at 12:47 am
Thank you for the comment straighttalk.
But shouldn’t UNITE’s presence discourage people from dealing drugs right out in public parking lots on a daily basis?
UNITE has been in the area for at least 5 years now?
And instead of people becoming discouraged from peddling dope, it looks as if the
problem has only grown.
It appears as if the dealers have become encouraged or emboldened.
And the number of users you see walking the road (in the middle!) while they are in what appears to be a trance like state of mind… as if they are thinking go ahead and hit me with your car, I’ll pick it up and crunch it like a beer can.
Is it to be expected that the dealers and addicts should become so brave and bold
when we have an Operation UNITE here?
August 23rd, 2008 at 1:42 am
At Least we didn’t see people parked aside the road snorting stuff off the top of their cars…
Pulling into every little nook and cranny to get a fix…
To come directly back at your comment;
"If anyone thinks that we have not had a drug problem for at least the last 15 years then it is time to come out of the cave."
I have to respond to you by saying:
If you can’t see that the drug problem has exploded into an out of control situation over the last few years, then I have to question who it is that needs to come out of the cave.

Your Life Under Codex.
CODEX will become the law of the land, in the US, by December 31st 2008.
Under our current US COMMON LAW - anything not permitted IS ALLOWED. Codex will undermine US Common Law!
Under CODEX - anything not specifically allowed is FORBIDDEN!
Under CODEX - nutrients, supplements and vitamins are no longer classified as foods - THEY ARE TOXINS
Under CODEX only legalized nutrients are allowed - this includes wait for it…. FLUORIDE!
Under CODEX Nutrients such as Echinacea, Ginkgo, COQ10 and Glucosomine will be COMPLETELY FORBIDDEN - LIKE COCAINE - ILLEGAL!
HOW ABOUT THIS?
Under CODEX - EVERY COW WORLDWIDE MUST be treated with MONSANTO’S rBGH - Recombinant BOVINE GROWTH HORMONE!
This is the stuff that makes cows so sick that they have to receive massive injections of antibiotics. It creates PUSS in the udders that goes into the milk. No More Antibiotic Free Dairy products. No more rBGH free Dairy Products. No more Organic Milk, or butter, cheese or dairy.
Under Codex - All food must be irradiated!
Under Codex - Currently BANNED and FORBIDDEN pesticides and chemicals (chemicals considered so dangerous that they are forbidden in 176 countries) will be allowed in food - and cannot be stopped from importation!
Under Codex - Joint Projections by Codex along with the WTO and the Food and AGRICULTURAL ORGANIZATION (FAO) and the WHO (World Health Organization) estimate that 3 BILLION people will die from the effects of just the Nutritional Section of Codex. From diseases, lack of medicines, vitamins and and malnutrition
It will be mandatory for all members of the WTO - the WORLD TRADE ORGANIZATION to comply.
Nations that do not comply with CODEX will be automatically judged in default in the event of any dispute or court action, irrespective of the merits of the case!
In the 1990s, in the midst of the mad cow disease crisis, the European Union banned the import of meat that contained artificial beef hormones. WTO rules permit such bans, but only where a signatory presents valid scientific evidence that the ban is a health and safety measure. Canada and the United States opposed this ban, taking the EU to the WTO Dispute Settlement Body. In 1997, the WTO ruled against the EU.
Once we become CODEX COMPLIANT we can never undo it. Unlike our national laws, we cannot pass a law to undo it as long as we are members of the WTO and the World Bank.

I have tried to be anon on here and I will say it
again that I have personally known of situation(s)
where it APPEARS that a dealer is watched for
weeks or months or even over a year and the
"dealer" is not arrested as far as I know?
SO you tell me what is going on in that situation?
What ever you subsidize you get more of is the a old
plutocratic concept (at this point) so
By funding more and more drug intradiction multi-jurisdictional
task forces do we not get more drug activity as they
each have operatives, agents, informants, and liaisons all
needing to grab some "collars" to justify their salary and pensions
THEY need a drug dealer network to leach off of !?
SOME of the activity that is being "seen out in the open"
might be some NARC doing a op trying to get some attention
to find a raw recruit to entrap into their network of information to
entrap more users to send over to the rehab revolving doors and
the courts/(banks) to fine and confine.
It is the "WAR ON DRUGS" and the "1st casualty of WAR is
the Truth" right?
THEN again they supposedly, I have heard, profile prospective
police to have a average IQ of about 100 so they are less likely to
question orders, the smart ones might just play dumb to get in and
then work the system? There are loads of hollyweird fictional adaptations
of drug corruptions and this country’s history is riddled with it going
all the way back to ole YALE university funded by american
schooners faster that the brits getting past the blockades.
"THE SKULLS" DEATH EQUALS DEATH skull and crossbones
"Jolly Roger" suggests piracy so should we be surprised if the
government has been pirated away from the wee people?
August 26th, 2008 at 2:28 pm
six arrested. wow i am impressed. [speaking in an dull unenthusiastic style tone]
only 5994 left to go [estimating conservatively if you consider the addicts]
boy this is progress. [unenthusiastic style tone]
[waves a little flag and says] Hooray [rather dully and unenthusiastically]
August 26th, 2008 at 2:49 pm
Hopefully we don’t have a real Droopy on board.
My apologies to Droopy if we do.
Just an attempt at sarcasm to get a point across.
August 27th, 2008 at 10:02 pm
We have had a drug problem in our area for a number of years. If you did not know that either you were not paying attention or elected to go into denial. Desperate people do crazy things. With UNITE here you would think people would be more cautious but when your need a fix ( or to make a sale in order to, let’s say, finance your fix ) you take risks.
So what is the solution? Being housed in jail is not it. Counseling might help, but only if you want to be helped. The meth problem started out on the West Coast during the late 1940’s or early 1950’s and slowly spread east. It has taken that long to get here and to become a problem in Eastern Kentucky. Any other ideas about what to do to solve the drug issue or at least to lessen it’s impact?
August 28th, 2008 at 12:03 am
straighttalk,
All sarcasm aside, It looks like UNITE was responsible for some pretty good arrests being made.
You sound pretty well educated about the drug problems the county is up against.
What would be the odds of forming neighborhood watch groups and supplying them with
cameras and video recorders, the high quality kind with high power zoom lenses?
I know that we have neighborhood watches scattered throughout the county, so why not
select a few members from each group and equip them? Maybe even lawfully deputize
one or two members of each individual neighborhood watch program.
This could allow them to call upon the "Power of the County" for help in preforming an
initial arrest of the dealer on the street. Then the State Police or Sheriff could come out
and do the paperwork.
It would at-least get them into the system (fingerprinted/photographed) even if they are released the following day–They could be watched by the neighborhood watches, who should have a flier distributed to them with the photos and names of who should be watched.
Sort of like an APB to the neighborhood watch to "be on the lookout".
I see the implications and possible dangers to what I have just suggested, but if it is made clear to them that they are being watched, videoed, and photographed every single time they make a dope deal, or are just waiting on the buyer/dealer to show up, it might make a difference… Allowing the police to observe traffic patterns and the likes which might lead them to the dealers homes or operations.
Perhaps some certification could be given to those deputized neighborhood watch members.
Maybe even some marked cars with UNITE could be put into service for
uniformed officers to drive into a parking lot and start questioning people who look out of place?
I’m not suggesting that UNITE is failing (at least not entirely), but shouldn’t we expect more then the drug problem escalating into what looks like an out of control situation?
Straighttalk,
I don’t know who you are, but hope you are one of the few people whom I think you might be.
If you are one of those few, then you understand that there just isn’t enough room in the jails to lock them all up, and we both realize that treatment isn’t going to work unless they want to be helped to help themselves. And the two of us realize that some course of action has to be put into place, be it a deputized neighborhood watch member (trained) or more visibility.
Those cars with the UNITE logo (like I suggested above) could only serve as decoys actually driven by uniformed police officers practicing Community Oriented Policing procedures. But it would still serve as visibility of UNITE’s presence in the area.
August 28th, 2008 at 12:31 am
I’m still wondering why the guy on Shelia Court, off Sun Street has been freely dealing drugs for at least 9 years that I personally know of. I lived right beside them for a tad over a year until I couldn’t take the ‘traffic’ and horns blowing and people holding up one or two fingers and someone coming out of the house with ‘cassette holders’. DUH. The person I rented from said he’d been doing it for years before and still is. This is the same place, by the way, that had/has the goat outside.
August 28th, 2008 at 10:33 am
Wow I never knew the secret code of one or two fingers now I can go
place my order, coool, letz party !
August 29th, 2008 at 1:06 am
Hey straighttalk!,
Are you going to reply in any way? Or do we have and wait for something else negative to be said about UNITE to get any response out of you?
And if you do respond, will we only get the same old "If anyone thinks that we have not had a drug problem for at least the last 15 years then it is time to come out of the cave." garbage, or maybe a little more of "We have had a drug problem in our area for a number of years. If you did not know that either you were not paying attention or elected to go into denial." business?
You see straighttalk,
There has been a drug problem for a number of years, but since UINTE opened shop here, It has exploded from a problem into a disaster!
If you can’t see that then you are not paying attention or are in denial.
Which is it?
24 hours ago I gave you some ideas for solutions, just like you had ask for.
Yet I get no reply to my response to you.
August 29th, 2008 at 1:27 am
Straighttalk,
Could it be that [(Required Voluntary Compliance)] is correct in saying:
"What ever you subsidize you get more of is the a old
plutocratic concept (at this point) so
By funding more and more drug intradiction multi-jurisdictional
task forces do we not get more drug activity as they
each have operatives, agents, informants, and liaisons all

might be some NARC doing a op trying to get some attention

entrap more users to send over to the rehab revolving doors and
the courts/(banks) to fine and confine.
It is the "WAR ON DRUGS" and the "1st casualty of WAR is
the Truth" right?"
Or what about Kat’s comment:
"I’m still wondering why the guy on Shelia Court, off Sun Street has been freely dealing drugs for at least 9 years that I personally know of. I lived right beside them for a tad over a year until I couldn’t take the ‘traffic’ and horns blowing and people holding up one or two fingers and someone coming out of the house with ‘cassette holders’. DUH. The person I rented from said he’d been doing it for years before and still is."
Any answers straighttalk???
Or are we to sit by and be belittled and blinded by propagandic media releases or a sporadic
outburst on here from Mr. UniteIsGood… eh?
What on earth are you going to do if the people of this fine County decide to demonstrate to you just exactly how blind they aren’t? By demonstrating their marksmanship skills upon the dealers perhaps?
Hopefully things can be brought under control before the kettle explodes.
Why don’t you UNITE people At-Least get them off the street?
Is it too much to ask for the school, church, and cemetery parking lots to be kept drug free after hours?
Should folks have to literally take their lives into their own hands to run them out of the neighborhood, so our children will be safe?
August 29th, 2008 at 2:20 am
STRAIGHTTALK!,
Do you have any idea how many times I had to talk little old ladies out of committing murder?
Simply because they are tired of the druggies trying to take over the neighborhoods.
Do you realize that little old ladies can be dangerous?
They figure they have lived a long life, and don’t have anything to lose anyway.
They tire of the police putting the drug problem at the bottom of the list, having to wait hours upon hours to even speak with an officer who eventually shows up and does nothing.
August 29th, 2008 at 2:30 am
At times it seems like Dopy McDealer gets tipped off perhaps from an inside source…
Loading trash bags of his product into the buddies car before the police show when they
actually do conduct a search.
It’s like it is coordinated or something.
The buddies car will pull out loaded with Dopy’s product and seconds later the police will show.
Let’s say after a 2 hour delay and 3 call backs asking just where in the #@!! the police is at.
August 29th, 2008 at 2:35 am
Nice to know that code… eh?
Maybe some little old ladies are reading or something?
September 3rd, 2008 at 4:34 am
I personally believe that Jack Carter and his Deputies did a better job of keeping the drug problem under control then Unite has been doing.
Ever since UNITE opened shop here, the Drug Problem in Rowan County has only escalated.
Shouldn’t it be their (UNITE’s) job to deescalate or defuse the problem?
September 4th, 2008 at 12:20 am
Ok I hyrded (hearsay) that UNITE
the multijurisdictional task force folks, or whoever,
charged 15people with trafficking
drug charges all of which were already in jail on other things.
SO, draw your own positive or negiatives from that (IF TRUE?)
Just a heads up…
September 15th, 2008 at 2:52 pm
I am 21 yrs old and grew up in Rowan County, mainly in Granite Quarry. Drugs are every where and always will be. After everything was over and i was stuck in a jail cell for 15months facing 6 years for drug charges i finally realized it was time to quit getting high, and start planning toward my future. Teens have so much fun getting high cause of the careless life style it brings, the stoned friends they can relate to, and many more reasons. maybe if they never took Granite Lake from us we wouldnt of looked for a bag of weed. who knows. anyways Drugs in Rowan County are bad and if the users want to loose everything they got, and everything they could have keep getting high. its that simple. and no i never thought i would say that nor did i ever think i would loose what i did. so yea it can happen.

Drug Awareness Forum THIS THURSDAY Sept. 25 at the Elliottville Baptist Church at 7:00 PM.
September 24th, 2008 at 4:05 am
THIS THURSDAY MEANS TOMORROW! Everyone in the county needs to attend.
The Officials want to hear your ideas.
September 24th, 2008 at 8:39 am
I really wish it wasn’t tomorrow night of all nights. Shoot! We have revival at church tomorrow night. I’m sick of drug deals going down right in front of me and all around.
October 26th, 2008 at 9:48 am
Would exposure help? perhaps those in the know should post the
Dr. names and addresses where this Dr. shopping is going on
and ANYONE that sees a prescription bottle from those would know
they are likely to be one of these making the trips for scrips.
Addresses would help to if some letter writing were to be done
to elected officials and the quacks and the medical license review
boards and such. We have to keep whittling at it untill it is sawdust.
October 26th, 2008 at 3:00 pm
I have an idea of how it works, and was originally going to post a comment, but realized
that I had basically written a How To guide based upon my own theories which are derived
from little bits of conversations I have inadvertently overheard over time.
I will say that it is basically organized crime, and that the mules and the users are
the only ones getting arrested. The people making the big money probably never
even see or handle the drugs.
How do you stop it?
When a mule gets taken down, it is replaced.
How can we stop it?
October 26th, 2008 at 3:22 pm
I mean the mules and the users are trafficking for sure, but as soon a mule gets arrested
it is replaced. And the people making the big money could be arrested for complicity or
for engaging in organized crime, but it is hard to build a case around them since they
most likely never handle or even see the drugs.
What do we do about it?
What can we do about it?
I was hoping that someone from UNITE would come aboard to offer some advice to the
badgemen who are reading and are at the point of almost giving up.
The jails and rehabs are filled with mules and users, but it’s not doing any good when the
people who make the big money remain free or “at large” to recruit new mules.
October 26th, 2008 at 6:20 pm
Well someone fronts some money for a trip
drives them down and takes a cut
of the pills from what I have heard, the
user/dealer keeps enough to get by and
sells the rest…
October 26th, 2008 at 7:09 pm
But the people fronting the money to the fronter of the fronted is the problematic issue.
The ones who are actually profiting without getting caught just don’t drive the mules anywhere,
nor do they actually handle or even see the drugs, they just get some payback plus profit.
I suppose one could prove that they are acting as a “loan shark” beyond a reasonable doubt,
but I don’t know if complicity can be proven.
But it is organized crime to the point that it might be dangerous to me for only typing these
theories which I have arrived at from inadvertently hearing bits and peaces of conversations.
Do I know who these people are? No, I don’t know who they are, but the mules talk when they
don’t see you rounding a corner, and shut up after they see you have rounded that corner.
October 26th, 2008 at 7:14 pm
What I’m trying to say is it is hard to chase a specter around, let alone capture one.
And even if you pull it off, they will just claim to be doing a friend a favor by loaning
him a few dollars in his time of need.
October 27th, 2008 at 9:53 am
We need a “Carter” figure like Mel Gibson
in Playback from your assessment of the
syndicate or outfit or whatever
October 27th, 2008 at 11:51 am
That was a really hard comment to read into… but I think I understood it.
October 27th, 2008 at 12:43 pm
the movie was “payback” with Mel Gibson oops on the typo.
October 27th, 2008 at 6:59 pm
Well if you read the newspaper then you know that thousands of dollars went somewhere…
It went to the specter — that’s where it went to.
That is why they didn’t recover the “controlled transaction” money.
The guy is having fun out of them.
The cops wasn’t fronted anything except a mules cut — The specter collected the (state) money.
Can I prove it? No… I can’t prove it.
But you and I apparently have a similar theory.

WILLARD, Ky. (WSAZ) — Kentucky State Police are investigating human skeletal remains found in Carter County, Kentucky, Thursday.
Posted by: sharon on Aug 13, 2008 at 08:22 PM
Wow! I just read the article in the Grayson Journal about these skeletal remains. When I read about 444 marijuana plants being discovered at the same residence where the remains were found…

An indoor cultivating operation of 444 marijuana plants was allegedly discovered July 31 at the Leadingham Branch residence of 58-year-old James Herman Castle.
Meanwhile, just days after Castle’s arrest, authorities discovered the skeletal remains of a white adult male on the same property where the marijuana was discovered.

October 28th, 2008 at 3:27 am
Kinda makes the point that having pot illegal kills people
more or as much as it might save lives for it to be illegal
October 28th, 2008 at 3:35 am
NOT Carter but “Porter” was Mel Gibson’s charactor
in “PAYBACK” , infighting in the syndicate or
outfit could do the problem some good.
Kinda like in “Clear and Present Danger” where
the U.S. Government faked a truck bomb to try
to get the Columbian drug lords to infight.
Or was that at OKC where the truckbomb was fake?
1993 WTC? There are so many false flag stings I
can’t keep them all straight anymore it is a shame
Wikipedia took down the guide reference list to
Known conspiracies, list of articles
October 28th, 2008 at 8:23 am
Wasn’t Carter “The Boss” who ordered the outfit to get Porter out of the way?
October 28th, 2008 at 8:36 pm
Now tell me why Carter and Martin would make the sale to someone introduced to them by
a well known KSP Trooper? and within 20 minutes of the introduction?
[ http://www.themoreheadnews.com/local/local_story_256115526.html ]
Could it be that there is some unattended business in prison that needs attended to?
October 29th, 2008 at 4:03 am
So continuing in my theory/analysis, this “controlled transaction” occurred within 20 minutes
after a well known KSP Trooper introduces a Narcotics Officer to Carter and Martin.
The Narcotics officer paid $9000.xx down on the pills and is fronted the mules cut.
But the $9000.xx wasn’t recovered according to newspaper reports.
Now common sense tells me that $9000.xx didn’t just grow legs and walk off…
That same common sense tells me that those boys didn’t just up and sell drugs to a
stranger who they had only known for 20 minutes after being introduced to him by
a well known State Trooper. They would have to have had a reason for doing this.
So what is the reason? and Where did the money go?
If I had to make a guess, their reason was either to get into the prisons to convey
a message or take care of some sort of business, Or that they owed the Boss a
rather large favor/debt and done so to save their skins. Either way, the Boss likely
has the money and is laughing about how he pulled another one over on the state.
Now all I have to go by is newspaper reports, rumors, and a bit of guesswork, BUT if
this was a “controlled transaction”, then how did the boys escape the surveillance
long enough to transfer $9000.xx? (provided there was any surveillance)…
IF the money was all $100 bills, then a McDonald’s bag could have been placed in a
trash can (we’re only talking 90 $100 bills)… BUT since the paper mentions “audio evidence”
of a discussion of splitting the money into two stacks, I’ll have to assume that a mixture
of denominations was used, making two bags necessary.
So the boys likely stopped at a local business, dropped two bags in the trash, bought a few bags of chips that they carried back out in similar looking bags.
Bags containing the money retrieved by the Boss/specter character later in the day/night.
How else could the money just up and disappear?
If these two boys didn’t know they were selling drugs to the State Police, then why run off?
Wouldn’t it make sense to stay and collect the rest of the money?
I believe the boys and their boss (the specter) knew what was taking place all along.
October 29th, 2008 at 4:35 am
TechKnomen,
Do you really believe that promoting infighting between the drug kingpins will solve anything?
Look at all the mules/dealers/users who have been suicided/murdered over the years.
Especially the ones who decided to take a hike over a cliff over in Elliott/Carter county…
I heard people rumoring theories that the same specter might have contracted those hits.
Some of those folks who claim to know are reading this but wont chime in, and I can’t say
that I blame them for being silent on this issue.
October 29th, 2008 at 9:33 am
Well in the movie the “Judge” kingpin played by
Chris Cristopherson gets taken out by Porter.
Something allong those lines would at least be entertaining
October 29th, 2008 at 10:57 am
Theorise all you want, when you make slanderous alligations you are not prepared to prove in court you might get sued.
Things have got bad enough some folks think the risks are
worth it. How could that guy not know A.A. was a trooper?
I think he was one of those troopers on the front page
of the paper after MD Campbell got outed for his unofficial
“landing rights” investigation of W. Liberty airport,
it is somewhat detailed allong with some hints of the
connections to the Arkansas IRan Contra Mena operation
if you recall (unlilke Ollie)
As for the “Others” not posting perhaps fear of Kat/ect,
outing them and their identity has to come to mind for regular readers of this site, if I knew something I would not post it either, thank you very much since I have not been allowed full
annonomoosehunter status.
October 29th, 2008 at 1:41 pm
what I refer to is the line up front page photos of new troopers
from the area to replace the house cleaning that occured at
post 9 in the mid 1980s at the end of the Chicken By George era…
The SP did a P.R. job by hire of alot of locals including AA
from this area if I remember right. There are several from Rowan
still on the force. Many of those guys are great and will
or have gone out of their way to help people including me.
That said no one is beyond corruptions especially if they are
cornered somehow or have had some extortion operation run on
them. A.A. I doubt is corrupt, do not know the other guy.
October 29th, 2008 at 2:20 pm
So it’s OK to talk about how it would be entertaining to know of a criminal going around
and killing people because they thought somebody had robbed them of stolen money?
But it’s not OK to try and have an open discussion trying to prevent such an entertaining
event as seems to being implied?
I should worry more about getting sued then trying to save human lives?
WOW! Money is more important then Life?
If that’s a concept being related to me, then thats one hell of a bad concept.
October 29th, 2008 at 2:27 pm
I believe that you were speaking more along the lines of some readers may not want to take
the chance of participating in this discussion out of fear of being sued or maybe fear of worse.
October 29th, 2008 at 3:09 pm
The Troopers name has been in the newspaper more times then I can remember.
Not only that, but if you have eaten at the right places at the right times then you
would likely know him on sight.
I didn’t say anything about the Troopers being corrupt, actually I haven’t even drawn
the idea of police corruption into the theory.
Let me simplify my idea;
State: Where’s our money from the controlled transaction?
Trooper: I don’t know.
Now how would it make you feel if you had to tell your supervisor that you had lost $9000.xx?
How would you feel if something similar was printed in the newspaper?
If knew for a fact where the money went to, I’ll assure you that I’d be theorizing elsewhere.
The bag in the trash theory is the best idea that I can come up with.
IF those boys who were arrested are working for a specter or an agent of the specter, then
the bag in the trash would have been the easiest way of transferring the money.
If I’m right about this theory then perhaps I will get sued… or maybe worse.
October 29th, 2008 at 3:43 pm
I don’t know how other people feel about this, but I’d rather not live in a town where people
engage in drive-by shootings over drugs and/or money.
I just don’t want to see Rowan County become that type of place.
October 29th, 2008 at 4:37 pm
Needless to say, but I’ll go ahead and say it anyway.
I’m not a man with a clipboard, and I don’t really believe that your being serious about
letting the dealers off one another.
Some people say those things and mean it though so some clipboard carrying Kojak types
might be taking those comments seriously.
I’m trying to provoke avenues of thought towards a solution.
All I’ve heard all my life is “have to get to Mr. Big”, and to be honest I didn’t even believe
there was a “Mr. Big” until a couple of several years ago… Now I’m getting too old and the
blood pressure is getting too out of hand to search him out. Even if I found him now, I realize
that there isn’t any tangible proof. Just let the young skeptical ones know that he is real.

ON the Kojak detectives being afoot I have noticed
a shortage of lollipops around the area so the pill pushers
better watch out since apparently there are a few g-men about.
They all need informants and operatives and agents so
apply yourself and you can delay the inevitable op being
ran on you until you run out of stooges to throw to the
lions…

studies of San Francisco, where cannabis is illegal, and the Netherlands, where it is decriminalized, showed that the idea is worth considering because it breaks the link with class A drugs. In the Netherlands, only 17 per cent of cannabis sellers were also selling drugs such as crack, cocaine and heroin, while in San Francisco it was more than 50 per cent.

An analysis of 168,900 autopsies conducted in Florida in 2007 found that three times as many people were killed by legal drugs as by cocaine, heroin and all methamphetamines put together. According to state law enforcement officials, this is a sign of a burgeoning prescription drug abuse problem.
