The news puts Eureka in a bad light sometimes

There has been national coverage on our town of Eureka Springs lately because of the recent bill passed to lessen charges on people found possessing marijuana. Basically, the drugs are still against the law, but the police are putting it at a much lower priority than other crimes. Even though it is still illegal to possess the drugs, everyone thinks Eureka is "pot friendly" because of all the news coverage. I am shocked that there are so many adults who smoke pot. I just assumed people would figure out at a young age how dangerous drugs are and how irresponsible it is to continue them as a parent or grandparent.

I understand, however, that many people are addicted to drugs and have a very hard time giving it up even when they have the best intentions of quitting. I found a drug rehab referral service that matches people with their best option for treatment. Their website has lots of helpful information for anyone who wants more information about the dangers of drug and alcohol addiction and is ready to seek help for themselves or for a loved one. They offer plenty of support options and helpful links as well.
