As is the case in many college areas, where there are young people there is drug abuse and the “Queen City” is no different in this regard.
Two areas of drug abuse causing concern are black tar heroin, provided by Mexican gangs, and prescription drug abuse (legal and illegal).
While the availability of drugs has increased, the availability of drug treatment has not, increasing the number of drug addicts needing, but not receiving effective treatment.
The numbers of drug users serving time in the state prison system has risen, while the arrests made against the actual suppliers has not risen significantly. Without demand reduction, provided by effective drug treatment, drug trafficking and the attendant violence are likely to increase.
Officials are already worried that the violence associated with drug trafficking may increase in the Charlotte area.
It is time to do something different than simply continuing to fund more law enforcement activities to stem the flow of drugs entering the area.
