Ten people in this province and two from Quebec were arrested last week for drug trafficing. Police found hundreds of thousands of dollars, 51 pounds of marijuana and 19 pounds of cocaine in the St. John's area. Now, the bust will dry up some people's supply for awhile. But, it certainly won't stop the drug trade in Newfoundland and Labrador . Ron Fitzpatrick is the executive director of Turnings in St. John's. He's worked with addicts for years. He's seen drugs go in and out of style, the affect they have on the addicts and the community. Ron Fitzpatrick spoke with the CBC's Kathryn King.
