As each year goes by, there are more and more Drug crime :-

drug crimearrests in Mississippi. As the “Crossroads of the South”, Mississippi is ideally geographically situated to facilitate interstate transport of all manner of illegal drugs, and the intricate and largely unpatrolled system of highways and thoroughfares make it relatively easy to smuggle drugs into and out of the state. According to the Drug Enforcement Agency, there are three primary drugs responsible for most of the drug crimes in Mississippi: marijuana, methamphetamine and cocaine.

• Marijuana in Mississippi: As with the United States as a whole, marijuana is the most commonly abused drug in Mississippi. It grows abundantly in the rural areas of the state, and is trafficked through on the way out of Mexico and Texas, or down from Canada to points east and west.
• Cocaine in Mississippi: Cocaine is the primary drug threat in Mississippi. Although marijuana abuse continues to be more widespread, cocaine, primarily in its rock or “crack” form, constitutes a more dangerous threat primarily because it is more associated with violent crime and higher frequency of addiction.
• Methamphetamine in Mississippi: Methamphetamine, also known as speed or tweek, is considered the second most dangerous drug in Mississippi, and is rapidly approaching the top spot. It is not only a threat to the abusers, but also to those that produce it due to the various chemical processes involved in manufacturing.
• Other drug crimes in Mississippi involve less common substances such as heroin, ODDs (Other Dangerous Drugs such as LSD, ecstasy, steroids), and over the counter medications such as OxyContin and Methadone.

Laws are made by the government and other ruling agencies to maintain order in the society. Laws help people live their life freely and allow them to work, socialize, worship, dress, attain their aims and reach their goals. But sometimes the rules set by society and government are so weird that often people end up calling them ‘crazy laws’.There are several weird laws :-

That are followed in the world. Let’s have a look at them one by one:In US, many people find the ’21 and over’ rule quite weird. People who wish to purchase beer all days of the week may find it weird to see the liquor stores closed on Sundays. Also those people who love to stroll around with an uncorked wine bottle may feel weird to know that open alcohol bottles are not allowed in various areas.Another crazy law that does not make much sense is ‘Bring Cash and Coins to Des Moines’. It is illegal in Iowa to begin a tab at any bar. This law surprise many visitors from outside.
