Default Looking For Small Town.

I have 3 kids and am looking for a town with little crime and vertually NO DRUG use. We live in New Mexico and seems to us that everywhere we turn we run into drug problems. I want to raise my kids somewhere, where I don't have to worry about drugs being accepted. Please Help us!

there are small towns with little crime, but drugs are everywhere. of course some small towns are worse than others.

I don't know of any towns where there are no drugs. Crime is relative. If it never happens to you it seems like it never happens.

As a parent and a grandparent, I would be less concerned about external influences like drugs and crime. I would spend more time teaching the kids the effects of drugs and crime on their lives. Despite the measures you take to protect your kids, they are going to encounter that stuff sooner or later. It's better for them to encounter it now, where you can help them deal with it, than later when they are on their own. This is even more important if they were never exposed to it and never learned to deal with it as kids. This, of course, presupposes that you are going to participate in their day to day life and maintain communication with them on a daily basis.

I would just find a town with less drugs. I think coming to OK is 100% better than being in NM with the crime that I have been reading about there.

I think the towns in the Northwest part of Oklahoma generally have less problems with crime and drugs than the rest of the state. That is just my opinion.

Moderator cut: offensive Maybe from getting that impression, it just means people in Piedmont are more careful about how and where they use their illegal drugs. Since Oklahoma as some of the harshest drug laws in the nation, one who wishes to fool with drugs had best keep it as secretive as possible.

Isn't it sad that Oklahoma's harsh drug laws don't work all that well in discouraging people from indulging in illegal drugs. Drugs are so bad in prison that prisoners getting out, if asked will tell you that drugs are about as easy to find in an Oklahoma prison as on the outside. So the drug problem is probably just as bad or worse than it is in New Mexico. After all, the underground meth labs got so bad in Oklahoma that it became the first state to restrict over the counter sales of pseudoephedrine.

Well, I guess if you count the illegal drugs they take off of the illegal immigrants that come through Piedmont then maybe we do have a small drug problem. The last drug problem I heard about at the high school was someone trying to pass off there moms birth control pills as Valiums.

I live in Poteau, OK. There is not much of a drug problem here, sure some people use them, but they leave the neighbors alone. There isn't much of a crime problem here either. It is a really nice place to live.
