Hey, no offense there Daugusta of Augusta, ME, but the only drug problem that the police deal with are primarily the ones that government has declared illegal and that government isn't making any legal tax revenue from.

The drugs like alcohol and tobacco are not viewed as being a serious social problem because most of society is comprised of hypocrites and the advantages of having tax revenue raised from those sources overshadows the need to view these drugs as being a serious part of any society's drug problems.report abuse

I would like to commend the police departments who handled this arrest.

Keep up the good work to clean up our towns and cities!!!

Hey people, in stead of negativity, if you all know so much about the drug problems in our communities and the people who do it, why don't you give out information to the police so they can deal with it. You all cut down the establishment, but with out information what are they to do??report abuse
