I was working with a person who lived behind our place of employment at the time I was a meth addict and the house was full of meth/heroin addicts I had gone there to purchase meth when my dealer was out of town and this house was full of needles absolutely full every table /nightstand covered with used needles they were stuck in the walls in the window sills the house was searched several times in one year by several I mean at least 10 they would be searching for people not drugs and the people they were looking for were the only ones ever arrested even with drugs and paraphernalia everywhere that was 2012 at the time I was appalled that the drug den was not shut down but in hind site I realize they use the knowledge to lead them to larger dealers now in the last four months there has been several federal drug busts in town Aberdeen Washington they have seized over 60lbs of heroin and 30lbs of meth only the tip of the iceberg but in a town of less than 20,000 people it is a good start they are busting the big guys and without them these smaller dens will wither after all these people are even more the victims than the community but as in the situation of the post by even addiction needs love this is not the case and I find it hard to believe 8 years is all the person is getting even with a death involved these busts I am talking of the culprits are facing a minimum of ten years for intent to distribute.

Even Addiction Needs Love... — Mon, 28 Jan 2013 22:47:06 -0000

I have started a page recently, due to my husband getting into meth, thanks to his family... His brother was busted almost a year after his death... I stumbled upon his bust by accident... But I really would love to see him get help, even though I loth him... He was caught cooking and selling... They left their brother for a week dead in his apartment so they could get his money... I am barely coping with this fact... but I feel Karma visited this family... and I would love to protest when he hits the grand jury, against Meth... I feel he should do more then 8 years, due to his brothers death... When I called to ask the drug task force about this, they said they were sorry, but wondered if the family could lead them to other meth houses... I'm sorry but if you sell meth to a person and they die, there is a charge of 2nd degree murder... why do this people think it is ok????

I'm surprised that snitching to the cops isn't enough for them to get a search warrant. Because here in Australia the cops can get a search warrant on even the flimsiest of suspicions. And America's drug laws are way more draconian than ours. In America they even have drug squads that are entirely funded by the proceeds of their raids, so I would have assumed they'd follow up on even the most dubious of tip offs in the hope of getting their hands on cash and other valuables. I'm surprised they don't use sniffer dogs more, but perhaps they don't have enough to go around seeing as how they're probably used mostly at airports and music festivals.
Anyway prohibition is a failed policy, harm minimisation would be much more effective. However most people have been conditioned to believe that the only way drugs can be fought is by treating it as a criminal justice issue rather than a health issue. And so it saddens me that sensible reforms could still be a long way away. BTW I agree that meth is a terrible substance and I'd rather it wasn't out there at all but the current strategy really isn't working - shut down one meth lab and before long another one takes it's place, not to mention the cartels in Mexico that produce it in massive quantities despite the Mexican government using their army to fight their drug war.
