"Welcome to Carroll County..."

What's up with all the billboards around about overdoses?
There are at least 3 or 4 I've seen around.
Has it gotten that bad?

Yes

No worries though. The Democratic politicians in Maryland are cleaning things up.

Yep, you have Baltimore City which is Heroin Central, Adams County has a huge heroin problem and market and Carroll County is beginning to see some effects also.

Heroin is and has been a problem in Carroll County for years!

Because if you just ask a heroin user to stop with a sign he'll knock it off in a hurry. And to think, all the money wasted on addiction research when the answer was right before us.

Harford County does this too. They have 2 categories. Number of Overdoses and number of Deaths Due To Overdoses.

Wife and I saw one last weekend on Rt. 26. We both looked at each other like "Wha?"

The one I saw was not targeted to the addict. It said something like "if you see an overdose, don't run, dial 9-1-1".

That's the one. There are a few others. One on 30, one on 140, and one on 27 I think.

This is true. The real problem is that it is now being mixed with animal tranquilizers.

This is causing an increase an ODS and deaths. As well as an increase in public awareness.

I hope the judge makes an example of these two...

The problem is the judiciary system. BS sentences, lot's of plea deals. Heroin dealers should be used for fertilizer.
