I am sorry that this is where her life has led her. I am not sorry however that she is off the streets if she is selling/dealing these drugs. It does not take much to get others addicted to these medications and I have personally watched a child that I love very much go from a vibrant loving and sweet person to a user that cares about noone or nothing except the next high and living on the edge ….and that includes 4 children. So thank you that she is off the streets and not able to feed someone elses addiction with her supply. Hope to see many more off the streets.

I know times are tough and people have problems. However, drugs are illegal in many cases and there’s a reason for that. It’s pretty simple, don’t take them or sell them and you won’t get addicted or put into prison. Problem solved.
Personally, if a doctor wants to prescribe something for me, I ask them to explain what it is and why I need it. Even then, I still go home and research it. I don’t take any prescription drugs that I don’t know about or understand how they affect me. If people were a bit more discriminating, then “legal” drug addiction would not be so much of a problem either. Don’t just take it because your doctor says you need it. They make mistakes too. Find out for yourself!

More & more I feel deep sadness for people who have turned to drugs. Many people will say they have never recovered from the depression caused by Ivan. We barely had time to recover from that mess when our economy took a big dip. Dealing with no employment makes people do things just to survive and feel less pain. I believe from what others have written that this woman is one of those people. She is a human being who needs a lot of help. She is not the only one on the road either. We need to help, not judge each other. By help I do not mean give money. They just do not need to hear more hurtful things about themselves.

from the amounts, it sounds like she was selling, not just using.

@sick of this,
If we are talking about cost, I’m more sick of subsidizing big oil billions of dollars a year while they make record profits than what it cost to help someone get clean off drugs, with money being the issue.
That being said, it sounds like this gal is running on animal instinct, living to use and using to live. Maybe this bust will give her the opportunity to get clean and stay clean? The odds are against her statistically, but it’s possible.
Nothing about what she has been doing is OK, but how she got to this point is important. Was she just partying and it got out of control? Does she have PTSD from some past event that maybe at one time the drugs helped with before the drugs took her over? Was she someone in society that has physical problems without having access to health care and she was trying to manage pain taking anything she could get thinking it might help her not feel how she felt?
While the drug problem as an epidemic is a problem for society, her drug problem, in how she got started and why is her own individual problem. Without access to treatment in helping her get clean, it is really unlikely she will stay clean.
There is no big solution for this big problem. The solutions are small and unique to each person stuck in their problem.
Btw, not feeding people and not helping people when they need help the most, doesn’t fix anything. Without access to help and food, just from an accounting perspective, she and others like her would end up in jail where the cost to society would likely be 5 times what it cost to help them in helping themselves on the outside.

Hopefully she can turn this around and get off the meth.

Tracy Harris was, at one time, a very hard working, productive citizen who took pride in both herself & her job. She has been on drugs heavily for about 5 yrs & her daughter (Carri Longmire) was also recently arrested (larceny) & unfortunately, the mugshot rang out with a poster child for “Faces of Meth”. I hope the entire group of individuals at the end of the street they live on find help. There has often been a ruckus or heavy traffic in our neighborhood & it’s all assossicated with the downfall caused by the evil world of drugs. Prayers to them all….God has a better plan if they just listen.

I pray the lady gets herself straightened out.

The third quarter is a bad time (anytime is) to be going through what she is experiencing. Those felonies are going to close a lot of doors at a point in life where the doors are far fewer.

Best not to get started with those chemicals and opioids, not to mention a world of other things.
