Drugs Remain a problem in Greenwich
Over the years, drug use in Greenwich has risen significantly. What use to be a small problem has developed in a larger one. This issue is not made public by school officials or the Greenwich Time yet remains severely unresolved. Greenwich High School which may seem like an other high school in fact has been a main part of the problem where drugs can be easily accessed on a regular basis. An article was recently posted in the Greenwich Time, regarding drug sniffing dogs coming into the school to conduct searches. To many, this may seem like a normal procedure, when in fact it is not. Drug and other substances are in fact trafficked at the high school, which I am sure school officials are aware of but have done nothing, in order to keep the "Greenwich High Image" in tact. If many people think drug use is not an issue, or dealers being located in Greenwich, then how do you explain Federal Agents raiding houses in Greenwich? This a issue that has been well hidden among local media and town officials. This drug use does not only pertain to marijuana which is heavily used by a large amount of younger residents in town, but other drugs as well such as cocaine have been in use as well. Residents may wonder how one comes to the conclusion, but when you live here and you know where to get drugs and you don't even go to the high school or college there is obviously a problem. I strongly believe this is an issue that had been covered up, and should be focused on more.
