Montclir Police yesterday arrested a 28-year-old Montclair man for drug possession and seized 50 envelopes of heroin from his car. The full news release, from Deputy Chief Todd Conforti, follows.

Hoo-ray for the MPD!
That’s one Mission Street dealer down and how many to go?
Drug dealing is bad, mmmkay?
Glassine envelopes? Philately will get you nowhere!
Yay, haul him away!
As long as there are customers, there will always be dealers.
War on drugs? More like a futile denial of the basic human desire to alter his/her conciousness. Drugs are a fast way to do that, much easier than meditation, spirituality, healthy living. People want the quick fix. 10 bucks buys enough rocket fuel to blast off and orbit a few times. Re-entry sucks, but then there is always another 10$ trip tik to be had.
Appletony, I’m somewhat surprised that you didn’t offer up that, were drugs legalized, this entrepreneurial young man might have instead become a medical missionary.
Even you, MellonBrush, posted in a similar vein above. I just wonder, since the dangers of and drawbacks to heroin use are fairly well known (it was the one drug universally shunned by troopers during my Nam service), why you maintain that “as long as there are customers, there will always be dealers.” Since heroin has thus generally struck me as a drug about which it behooves dealers to much downplay the true basics.
