The Mayor said on WSOCTV this evening that heroin distribution centers have been setup in the following locations:

  • Ballentine & White Oak
  • Providence Plantation & Stone Haven
  • Plaza Midwood and Mint Hill
  • Downtown Charlotte and some of the neighborhoods just west of there. (maybe places like Wesley Heights)
People are coming from all over to buy drugs in these locations from heroin cartels that have staked out these areas. It's surprising as they are located in affluent areas. I always thought this drug was mainly a problem in Europe.

This drug has been enjoying quite the resurgance in recent years. It's very cheap and easily available in many places in America, even in Charlotte.

Those who sell drugs are not limited to the poor just immoral, cruel and without any sense of right and wrong.

Since the mayor knows where the disctribution centers are setup, you'd think they'd be able to shut them down.

Anywhere there is money you will find drugs. Affluent neighborhoods? look at the private schools their children go to and you will find rampant drug use. I'm not surprised, but clearly they won't be in those locations anymore now that they've been "outed", right?

I saw part of the story on WBTV and as I tuned in they were mentioning something to effect that this was feeding back to the mexican drug cartels...
