It's also usually not the actual sale of heroin and meth that's an issue, but everything else surrounding that. Like my neighbor who was openly selling heroin (and obviously using it), but eventually went away for a gun charge after threatening to shoot someone he had a dispute with in the middle of the afternoon in front of his house.

Also all the other shit revolving around addictive drug sales: having junkies around fucking with cars and houses, publicly exposing themselves, assaulting people or just generally being aggressive, etc.

This isn't an indictment of anyone going through struggles, simply a statement that it does affect the community at large.
