since when does pot lead to pills? and no i dont smoke pot or do pills but i think it is pretty sad that people like you "read people" get on here and talk about stuff you know nothing about!!!!!! it said prescription drugs? do you take pills of any kind? im sure you probably do. so who cares if there was pills in their home, who says that dont have medication that they take and why are you so worried about their lives and the stuff they do? no one is up in your business worring about the stuff you do, im sure you do stuff in your home that no one knows about and no one worries about it so why dont you stop worring about those two.

I'm totally lost here. What part of them also getting prescription drugs at the residence do you all NOT see? Did you want the Troopers to just take their pills and leave their pot? Maybe their pot addiction lead to their pill addiction. Are you mad because they are your pot dealers????

I can't beleive people are supporting "Dope" dealers in the community. Several pounds of pot is certainly for resale. They are destroying others lifes and taking money that could be used to support a child. Speaking of children, I wonder how many children they have sold the ware's to. Don't support drugs in any form, put the offenders behind bars or worse make them get a job and work.
