These drugs are destroying people from all wallks of life. There must be stiffer penalties for all offenders not just for the people selling this drugs, also for people found using these drugs. I know that our jails are over crowded with what our system considers more serious offenders. Dealers for all intense an propose should be considered murderes . People that use the drugs are a burden on our society. In and out of rehab usually Court ordered, who pays for that?! The rest of the us . I don’t have a solution, I don’t think anyone does, this has been going on since the beginning of time it seems.
Way to go state police !! Take these losers off the streets and away from the community. You guys should work on Cooperstown Main Street next. Town is riddled with drugs !
