This is amazing to see this happen. http://www.drug-alcohol-rehabs.org/opiates-rehab-…
I fully expect to see this more and more with the marijuana law changes; but shows you the bold and utter disregard for the consequences drug addicts and drug dealers have. Very happy to hear that law enforcement was on the lookout and if only the courts start dishing out heavier penalties for the dealers, we could take a bite out of the distribution that right now seems so easy to do. If you know an addict or are one, it is important to get help so you are not being manipulated by these people wanting your money.
How is it that I can't get a job because I have a minor drug offense on my 7-year background check BUT major league baseball players (looking at you A-ROID) only lose a paltry 50 or 100 games???
