They both look so happy. Whatever they’re doing must be working for them.
Second dude been dipping into the profits.
Meth is so much fun.
Highly Highly Highly addictive.
I’m glad people took the effort to report. Too many people are too nice in Arcata. More people need to get real and put up a defense against the tweakers and druggies- they are taking over our town. Little by little. People who haven’t been here for awhile notice the difference.
I walk my dog down by that spot. Have seen some questionable activity. Sometimes it is just homeless people looking to bed down for the night under the overhangs- no problem with that and some of them are downright friendly. But yeah- gotta keep an eye out for the slide into hard drug sales which usually follow. I’m glad somebody reported it. And I’m glad that the Arcata PD is doing a good job at distinguishing between the regular houseless souls and the dealers. I have not seen the Arcata PD harassing people here for simply sleeping and getting under cover in a safe place. APD has shown good judgement and compassion in this regard.
Take a good look… climbing over a fence near you. 911 a mere memory. The sound of gunfire off in the distance rocks you to sleep. You smell something cooking? There gonna be a feast.
It’s a great drug, meth. just great. It’s what makes America great.
Without Stormbringer, Elric probably would have been into it.
Thumbs up.

Good job apd.
Now what about justice for Josiah?
Almost 70 years old and still runnin around doin meth. Give it up old man.
I had a neighbor years ago who was an avid tweeker in his 80’s. He was an ex-cop from another county, too. Some people have 9 lives.
Funny.
They don’t look like tweekers.
maybe they should do the switch to heroin (right now) before the meth face sets in and to preserve their good looks.
