Efforts to curb drug use worthwhile in local area

In response to the article, "Woman found with 22 grams of cocaine," Jan. 30, I think the author shed some very important light on drug usage and dealing.

I think college students are under a lot of pressure. Work, school and other responsibilities cause a lot of stress, and I think some choose to use drugs to relieve that pressure. Everyone doesn't do drugs, and it is people who try them and get hooked who end up in a very bad position. Who knows how much cocaine would have sold to students or anyone else, but it's good to know the State College Police Department is working to eradicate such activity.

Dealing drugs and doing other illegal activities can lead to bigger problems in the future. It's important that students are in a safe environment free from anything that could harm us in the long run.
