Please take action on this issue! Please don't wait for the authorities to sort it out. Meth spreads like wild fire in a community and it's effects are terrible. The children who are are around those addicted end up neglected, and often sexually abused- Meth changes a person's personality and can take a hold of someone you may have thought was immune to losing control of their lives, or maybe they are someone you think are just too good of a person to be an addict. I don't want this drug, this trash becoming a part of our community's sub culture- It will harm people and children, the future community in so many ways, it will infect the peacefulness of the place we love. From my experience, people in Homer often have their heads in the clouds, or turn the other way when dealing with or seeing something like this; for fear of disturbing their personal peace or their own neighbor- for it is a small town, and conflict can often spell trouble. I urge the community to create an education and task force/neighbor hood watch. Anchorage has had to deal with this issue, and has come up with ways to confront it, so Homer can too!! If you know someone using meth, don't leave your kids with them!!! If you are using or are concerned about someone else- seek help!! (I no longer live in Alaska, this is why I am urging the people of Homer to take action.) Homer citizens!! Please take action on this issue! Please don’t wait for the authorities to sort it out.
