Deputies Matt Cope (from left), Mitch Alford, Sgt. Miron Southerland and deputy Danny Lewis counted the marijuana plants confiscated at Allen Town.
Sgt. Miron Southerland said the deputies confiscated 32 marijuana plants after receiving an anonymous call on the sheriff's office's drug tip line.
Assisting in the search were deputies Danny Lewis, Mitch Alford, Matt Cope and Dee Dee Ulbrich and Det. Jason Snelling.
Southerland urges the public to call the Harlan County Sheriff’s Office Drug Tip Line at 606-574-9800 to report illegal drug activity.
Most of us know that individuals who use illegal drugs are going to get high - no matter what, so why do you not prefer they acquire them in stores that check IDs and pay taxes? Even if we could afford to put Narcs on every single corner, at least half of them would soon become dealers themselves. Gifting the market in narcotics to ruthless criminals, foreign terrorists and corrupt law enforcement officials is seriously compromising our future.
Why do you wish to continue with a policy that has proven itself to be a poison in the veins of our once so proud & free nation? Even if you cannot bear the thought of people using drugs, there is absolutely nothing you, or any government, can do to stop them. We have spent 40 years and trillions of dollars on this dangerous farce; Prohibition will not suddenly and miraculously start showing different results. Do you actually believe you may personally have something to lose If we were to begin basing our drug policy on science & logic instead of ignorance, hate and lies?
Maybe you're a police officer, a prison guard or a local/national politician. Possibly you're scared of losing employment, overtime-pay, the many kick-backs and those regular fat bribes. But what good will any of that do you once our society has followed Mexico over the dystopian abyss of dismembered bodies, vats of acid and marauding thugs carrying gold-plated AK-47s with leopard-skinned gunstocks?
Kindly allow us to forgo the next level of your sycophantic prohibition-engendered mayhem.
