These dealers have ruined so many lifes and so many families, they deserved to be locked away until the day they die.

There wouldn't be any dealers if the demand from users wasn't there. Don't the users have any responsibility in this.

The police caught 6 out of 60. That's about 10%. They confiscated 1,000 baloons. That's less than 2 dealers sell in one day. We need to increase law enforcement resources on the drug problem until we are operating in the 99% percent success area.

When you read about the reasons as to why Utah County is the best customer, you have to laugh. One reason was the smaller, tight-knit communities. I would agree with the tight-knit part, but smaller? Utah County has two cities larger than Sandy, and the county as a whole has over 500,000 people making it as large as Davis and Weber County combined and only 1/2 the size of Salt Lake County, so I don't buy into the smaller size argument. The tone of the article also makes it sound like Utah County is far, far away geographically, with these young people "making the drive" all the way from Utah County. I'm not from Utah, so I find it amusing to watch Salt Lake County try to distance itself from Utah County because of Utah County ultra-right wing conservatism; yet I don't find it realistic. To me Salt Lake County has its share of right-wing nut jobs--Sen. Buttars for instance, and the fact that there will be five temples in Salt Lake County, making Salt Lake County still the real heart and soul of Mormonism--not Utah County.

The war on drugs is a scam. Drugs are readily available everywhere. I mean, really, if you can get drugs here, where can't you get them?

If you want 99% success, Orem resident, then take the money out of drug dealers' hands... in other words, remove their profit motive.

Then divert all government monies to drug education, awareness, prevention, and rehab efforts that were spent on enforcement.

That's right - decriminalization is the only way to win the so-called war on drugs.

Once firmly against that notion, as a pragmatic, I now fully support it.

That's a good one. They want to see if the price of heroin "SHOOTS UP"?? Thanks for a good laugh!

All I can say is IT'S ABOUT TIME! This issue has been plaquing our area for several years. It's not until it becomes an epidemic that the officials start to wake up. It was a piddley bust and they display the confiscated goods as if it were a major bust. It's killer drugs and it is organized crime behind it. Our goverment needs to take drastic measures to even make a dent in the Mexican Moffia that is suppling this to our state, and many other states also. Sometimes I wonder if they want to, drug addiction is big money. Courts charge big fines, facilities charge big bucks for rehab and on and on.
