PHILADELPHIA, PA - JULY 31: Police keep watch in an area near what was a heroin shooting gallery in the Kensington section of Philadelphia which has become a hub for heroin use on July 31, 2017 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Today was the first day of a long anticipated clean-up of one of the largest open air drug markets on the East Coast. Hundreds of outreach workers, city employees and Conrail workers started to clear an area of heroin users from a stretch of train tracks in Philadelphia's Kensington section known as El Campamento. Over 900 people died last year in Philadelphia from opioid overdoses, a 30 percent increase from 2015. As the epidemic shows no signs of weakening, the number of fatalities this year is expected to surpass last year's numbers. Heroin use has doubled across the country since 2010, according to the DEA, part of an epidemic of opioid abuse that began in the 1990s, when doctors began prescribing higher doses of powerful painkillers.

Hey, you can’t put granny in the Big House!

A North Carolina great-grandmother after she was taken into custody at Disney for possessing CBD oil.

Hester Jordan Burkhalter was arrested at a Disney World checkpoint in Orlando on April 15 because they said she had “illegal narcotics believed to be THC oil” in her purse.

The Orange County Sheriff’s Office said that granny wouldn’t tell them whether her item labeled “Select CBD” contained THC, or the stuff that gets you high!

The arresting officer said “I tested the substance … using a Marijuana presumptive drug test kit; the kit turned Red, indicating a presumptive positive result for the presence of THC.”

She was arrested for possession of Hashish and released on $2,000 bail.

She says she was prescribed the CBD oil by her North Carolina doctor.

Prosecutors eventually the dropped charges.
