The drug issues in southern Mn is crazy. I had a call where this man OD , we got him back and told him to thank his Grandma for saving him. 2 weeks later, we got paged for a person OD and it was him again, this time he didn’t make it. It’s crazy, you get a second chance at life but throw it away for drugs.

[@matthewmurray4159]

Now sober I can see how crazy that seems to someone not in or even been in full blown addiction but as a former addict who overdosed multiple times I can totally understand both sides. I swore I'd never do it again and all that just to be dope sick again within hours and right back at it like nothing happened. It's a sad way to live and I'm truly lucky to be alive. I've lost 5 people from addiction just this year

Grew up in this county sadly... What do you expect when there are no avenues for prosperity in these towns?. The officials of these towns keep them a retirement community esk profile, denying profitable businesses expansion and leaving baren open lots to rot year after year. But there is so much happening, just look at some of the police forces budgets in these small towns, and the amount of heavy drug usage is crazy. Lots of people look the other way but I'll tell you something the police force is as innocent as some of the people on this channel. Internal investigations are apparent...but then again when aren't they.

One thing that I never hear mentioned related to trafficking and those involved is the demand side of the equation. Sure, we hear about the (insert substance here) crisis, epidemic, etc., but not in relation to how the population of buyers fuels the importation of substances and all that goes with it.

[@sean-m6s]

And you never will. There's a whole lot of white people who buy these drugs, either coming in from suburbs or wherever really now. Without the demand, no one would be trafficking no shootouts. But that's not what people want to see. There is a huge operation from the Aryan Knights operating out Idaho, they work with Hispanic gangs as well.

I'll bet 40 years ago that was a nice place. Probably a couple in their 50's that farmed it. Then they reitred and moved to town, sold the place as nobody in the family wanted to farm it, and the people that bought it just rented it, or left it sit empty until it became run down and then they let the drug dealers in to pay the taxes on a bin site. I've seen this over and over in Iowa the last 40 years.

[@dougiefresh42069]

yet they keep making it harder and harder for younger generations to get into farming. its the same all over the midwest. unless you own/rent 2000 acres, you will not succeed. i cant even begin yo count all the little family farms i grew up around that were bulldozed and either turned into massive fields or developments😪
