drugs

A normal traffic stop by the Missouri State Highway Patrol quickly turned into something else altogether.

Two arrested in Illinois after state police uncovered 1811 grams of meth in their possession during a traffic stop.

I've said before that I tend to be naive and I like it that way. Unfortunately, I now have new numbers that are impossible to ignore that shows the drug problem in Missouri really is much worse than we thought.

As if there weren't already enough problematic drugs on the streets of Missouri, now there is a brand new one to be concerned about. Reports say it will eventually be in every state in America, but it's not headed to Illinois. As a matter of fact, it's already here.

There are only 4 states with worse drug problems than Missouri according to a new ranking, why can't Missouri get control of its drug problem? And what does the data say is the biggest concern in the Show-Me State?

The drug itself is legal...for animals. But, now it's being added as a lethal addition to illegal street drugs making them even worse than before causing some victims to have their flesh eaten away in a zombie-like fashion.

If you're gonna try to bring a big bunch of meth into Missouri, you better not attempt it anywhere near K9 cop James. He's a good boy that just stopped a suspect who allegedly had planned to deliver 170 pounds of meth. Those packages will now not be delivered.

What will people who are addicted to meth do to protect their lifestyle? Apparently just about anything if a booby trap found in a Missouri meth house is any indication.

In a world where you hear plenty of stories about police allegedly doing bad things, I have the opposite of that. An Illinois man is fortunate to be alive after two heroic police officers came to his rescue after an accidental overdose.

I try to live in reality, but honestly there are moments like this that I'd prefer to live in denial. There's a new map that shows the percentage of meth labs per county and it's nothing short of depressing for the tri-state area and especially northeast Missouri.
