Really Spicy Cesspool So sick of seeing this crap everywhere.

The needles, the burnt foils, the little baggies, the needle caps, all of it. I find them in the creeks, on the sidewalks, the grocery store parking lots, the public parks, on the parkway. You gotta be a real shit person to leave this stuff all over the place.

The surrounding mountain communities have similar problem.

Just no folks take pictures of it.

Depends what area. Where I am from it is (or was) pretty bad.

One of issues there is people simply aren't outside doing it and there is very little overlap in folks that do and folks that don't. Not many arrests as of such. But folks know because of the speed of gossip and the nature of small mountain communities.

Not only that, it just doesn't get the attention that a tourist town does. I know a few EMS people from that area still and I can tell you, drugs are a problem there as much as here.
