Mitchell Posey knows his fellow agents will never be able to end the drug trade.

"It does essentially curb the methamphetamine trade in North Georgia, but by no stretch of the imagination does it shut it down," he said. In prosecution, Northeastern Judicial Circuit District Attorney Lee Darragh said his office most commonly sees cases involving meth, cocaine and marijuana.SEATTLE -- A report published Thursday by the University of Washington reveals there were a reported 332 drug deaths in King County in 2016.
