FYI Maybe we skip rural Maine this year.

Maine is not some sleepy backwater any longer.. Too bad..

Overview of the Drug Addiction Problem in Maine

One might think that Maine would be so far off the beaten path that they would have little drug trafficking or substance abuse. But that is not the way drug traffickers work. Wherever there is a susceptible public, there will be drugs.

Joe,

If you’re that afraid of Maine then don’t go but the fact is that it is still just as wonderful as it always has been. We’re headed up there on Sunday for a week and really looking forward to it but I guess if we follow your lead I better put bars on the windows and bolt the door closed

Maybe time to get the aluminum foil hats ready..... just in case!

Drug problems are everywhere. NH is full of it. homeless drugies on every city corner in concord and manchester these days. portland, yup. lots of smaller towns too like Lewiston are having problems too.

It's bad everywhere there's a city these days. Kensington outside philly is at epidemic levels. San fran? a horrible mess.

Basically, if you go by this, you can't go anywhere. Stay home. Every city and every town with more than 100 people has drugs and homelessness.

It's not the 80s anymore, it's the 20's and it's just as bad - just different drug of choice causing different problems.

Keep your kids off the crap. that's they only way forward.

That's simple enough, problem solved.

We're going to Maine again, my former home stste, to visit relatives and friends. Southern Maine. Will get there late Sept home (Fl) late Oct. Drugs are everywhere! I WILL bypass Balt, Washington, N.Y. Boston, the traffic just isn't worth the aggravation. May stop a few hrs some at rest areas but more than PASSPORT AMERICA camping areas 2-3 times.
