Daniel,

Your comment isn't fair to the people of Wetzel County. I was a longtime resident of New Martinsville before my job moved my family north. It is a good community that does care...the problem is not enough involvement by parents, not only in NM but everywhere. Wetzel Co. is no worse than any other county in the country in proportion let alone WV. The smaller the town, the less resources available to help, the easier it is to see problems.

It seems to me that all of those poppy plants confiscated in the Middle East under the Bush Admin. has finally been processed and hit the streets as well as home.I would not exspect any Political Roadblocks.I guess that the "Great Herion Tsunami" has began to roll again in the USA. Antisipate devistation and lost of life."GOD PLEASE KEEP US SAFE IN YOUR BOSOM" from the evil that man do....

Well, the one thing that would help would be to start incarcerating the dealers and pushers to the fullest extent of the law. Stop treating the dealers as ones who are addicted, start throwing them away for a long time and remove them from society. The only addiction dealers have is the wad of money that lines their wallets from selling drugs.

Daniel--maybe you should wake up and smell the coffee, the dealers and users outnumber law enforcement 5 to 1, if stricter laws are not in place, then this problem will continue to grow everywhere.

Did Wetzel County authorities really think that heroin wouldn't find its way south from Hancock, Brooke and Ohio Counties? Seriously? Our kids and young adults are dying, but the police and elected officials scratch their heads and claim it's no worse than the rest of the country. That's certainly comforting.

Wow TV7, Don't you mean Xanax instead of Zanex. You really need to start editing your stories before you post. Unless this Zanex is a new drug on the market........NOT

Seems like around Wetzel County they don't want to do anything about it. They know where it is but they won't take care of the problem.
