I guess, out of sight, out of mind!
Wasn't it Trump that said NH was a "drug infested den"?
I guess that was fake news.

Yes and he was making reference to Laconia which has a serious problem... Maybe you should stick to home issues you know something about south of the border, like Lawrence which seems to always find their way here across the border...

I'm glad you're happy in Manchester. I'm fine just passing by it on the highway, nothing there I want to see.

I've been to Manchester several times. I have also been to Portland, San Francisco, and Seattle a fair bit (among several other places).

In those other cities the problem is hardly "out of sight, out of mind", it is more like "watch where you are walking so you don't step in ****". Having a bum in San Francisco hassle you for "some spare change" while wearing a $150 pair of Timberland's is quite fun (I offered to give him $50 for the boots, my offer was not accepted...).

Manchester, and other NH towns, definitely have their issues, but I'd take them any day over most of the large west coast towns.

I don't disagree but don't act like NH doesn't have it's fair share of drug problems, every city does.
And to put a political spin on it as though it's a liberal-Democratic problem, as some have posted, is ridiculous. This problem was caused by the Corporate greed of the big drug Companies. They have created more addicts over the past 10 to 20 years than illegal drugs coming in from other counties.
These illegal drugs are just feeding the addicts that got hooked on legal drugs now that the legal drug supplies are being more closely regulated.
They need to put more of these drug Company CEO's in jail and hope they don't get pardoned.

I don't think all has been caused by corporate greed as Doctors have been over scribing for the last 30 years or so, and this has led to "some" of the issues. Now one could argue that the Companies have sent their sales forces out to the Doctors and directly to the American public via television ads.....

I recently had a tooth pulled & the Dentist gave me a script for Ocxy. No thanks, as I decided that Tylenol would do the trick. I wasn't about to try to chance the Ocxy script (pardon any spelling errors).

Enjoy the Holiday weekend.

The case is still active: waiting now to see if USSC will accept the appeal for review:

Can't recall the state, however I did see where it has been ruled legal somewhere. Possibly Colorado?

As for dental, I never have anesthesia for any dental procedures and surely no pain killers post treatment. My dentist said he has another patient that does not use anesthesia. actually I found that when any discomfort happens he is finished.
