West Virginia IS beautiful. Unfortunately it's the first or second poorest state in the country. Outside interests have been ravaging and then making profits off WV's resources for generations, and the local people receive none of the benefits. All of that profit is taken out of West Va and kept in private hands.

It's a shame that the state has been exploited for both political reasons (both parties are guilty of this), and also the exploitative coal companies that continue to string the people along with false promises they never deliver on.

As a recovering 20 year opiate addict, I recognize that relapse is a common part of recovery. Don't give up on these people. I am so grateful for those who stood by me. I wouldn't be here without their patience and love. Addiction is a symptom of something larger. We try and self-diagnose and self-treat our inner, often invisible, wounds and scars. These people in Appalachia have been exploited for multiple generations. The geographic isolation, the lack of economic stability, the only way for many to support their families is by performing exceptionally dangerous and frightening work as a coal miner. A life of despair and hopelessness is very susceptible to opiate addiction. My prayers go out to everyone in this community and to everyone suffering the slavery of drug addiction.

The people who know that self medicating to numb emotional pain is the only coping mechanism they have, get it. Not everyone feels euphoric or gets a good high from the same drug.

Sandra norman don’t be so closed minded. Of course it’s not how it works Judges like this are few and far in between. Making these type of statements only add fuel to the fires of people’s perceptions

@@sandranorman5469 Drug court is being introduced in counties as an improved way to help rather than just sticking them in prison. The crack epidemic may have been what urged many, including whites, to implement a new form of “help” for addicts - both black and white -that didn’t include prison time. Boone county is a majority white community so don’t feel validated in your thoughts simply because the lack of black people shown in this particular drug court. Everyone may have went to prison, as you said, which means you should then be rejoicing that there is an alternative.

I live in charleston, and my mother was born in Boone County. I figure I'm related to the deputy sheriff! The barker name is a popular one in Boone County, and great grandma was a barker. Boone County is a pretty place.
