I just don’t get why someone would even try this crap when you know you will get addicted the first time you do it. These are grown people that know better. Not only are they screwing up their own lives but also the lives of their families. Grow up, go to work and be proactive members of a community.

Agree with the bond amount. You’ve got to be kidding me. 1300.00 dollars? Might as well be a traffic ticket.

Yes

Clearly it’s a simple possession arrest, not intent to distribute or trafficking. That’s why the bond is low, I’m guessing.
Kevin Wilson
Can go as high as 10,000 on this charge

So was alcohol at one point… just saying..
Donnie McCoy
And if they ban alcohol or coffee guess how many simple arrest with little bonds there would be. Also the “side effects” and withdrawal symptoms of no coffee or caffeine. A little bit of anything never hurt anybody. Not justifying man made coke or heroine but don’t forget opium, cocoa leaf was in otc meds not that long ago. Google coka coke still ships in the leaf but uses a diff part.
Donnie McCoy
Janice Palmer McMunn so the bush family couldn’t rule the world? What’s your point ? I’m talking about simple addiction. Thank tpd for the arrest and the drug deal gone bad robbbery in mcds. But don’t talk about people you don’t know or say don’t try it when you should never try soft drinks alcohol tobacco prescription meds vaccines flu shots………most legal btw
