Parents... Raise your kids with enough sense not to be drug addicts!!!
it's not hard to tell who is doing the selling. they don't work and drive better cars and wear nicer clothes than i do. And if or when they get caught, all they get is a slap on the wrist. If these young men are coming here from detroit its not because they can 100.00 a week.this is big money deals.My guess is these punks was raised selling and will die selling.
The drug problem is fixable. But everyone has to get on board. When people are caught with drugs, whether buying or selling,make it tough. Minimum penalty should be a stiff fine, loose driver's license, rehab and probation for a year. During this year they must work at a legitamate job or show proof they are seriously seeking a real job, and house arrest. Break any part of the deal and go to prison,for a minimum of five years.
