Joseph's Substance Abuse
In the left corner, behind the filing cabinet was where the drug dealer, Joseph, stored his illegal narcotics. He had done drugs himself to the point that his mind was a depravity to others. Joseph made a profuse amount of money. He had a myriad range of drugs that he sold. He sold drugs from the simple pain killing drug, Ibuprofen, to one of the most complicated drugs, Meth. Joseph provided these drugs to others from his home even though it was a ramshackle. He was very fervent about his job. One day when the sun came out, Joseph went on his first drug deal from out of his house. He met his friend, Alex, behind the local Walmart and secretly sold him the narcotics. What Joseph didn’t realize was that his “friend” was actually a cop in disguise.

    Hoffer sets the foundation of the remainder of the book in chapter one by first discussing the “War on Drugs” in the United States and goes as far as saying, “the United States has realistically lost this war … Current drug policies are unrealistic and even counterproductive” (Hoffer 2). These conclusions are developed throughout the book, but are the direct result of his personal understandings of Kurt and Danny’s heroin operations, which escalated dramatically during a time in which the police and community as a whole were cracking down on and cleaning up the rampant heroin usage in Larimer and the homeless that populated this area. He details the extremely different backgrounds of Kurt and Danny, but emphasizes how important this is to their eventual success as heroin dealers. Further, the motivations behind the decision to sell heroin and the fundamentals of such an operation are understood by Hoffer as he develops a personal…

    In the publication, “The Other Wes Moore,” the author describes how many different situations affect two boys, the author, Wes Moore, and the felon by the same name. They both had been in a similar situation: They were both in a poor neighborhood, surrounded by drugs, crime, guns, and a lack of education. Even though they both had a similar life, the felon had gone down a path he shouldn’t have gone on, while the other became a successful author! This seems a bit odd, right? They both had very similar lives, but they didn’t end up the same. Maybe digging a little deeper into this problem would help us understand why what happened, happened!…

    Nic Sheff was 18 and collage bound when he discovered crystal meth. At first his father had no idea. Then came a call from his school, the late nights, the lying, the ghoulish pallor and the wasting away. David’s life became an eternity of waiting, for the phone to ring, the door to open, or for any sign that his Nic was safe. His fears were less dreadful than his son’s reality; begging, dealing, and promiscuous sex whatever it took to dim the pain. The feeling of emptiness that had terrorized him at least since his parents’ divorce when he was a child.…

The officers, exercising a valid search warrant, conduct a quick sweep of the apartment to account for all individuals inside, discovering the suspect in the living room reclining in a chair. The officers immediately handcuff the suspect, place him in an upright position, and explain the reason for being there. Then, the officers asked the suspect, "Is there anything we need to be aware of?" The suspect responds that a loaded semi-automatic pistol is under the bed in the master bedroom. Officers also find nearby, used drug paraphernalia and a box of unused bullets. Over the course of two hours the officers discover various amounts of illicit weapons, drugs, and money throughout the dwelling.
