This is the money quote:

Menefree said snorting heroin is easy while supervising children because it only takes a few seconds to do a line in the bathroom, so she doesn't need anyone to watch her kids, according to the report. But Menefree repeatedly told Theetge she made a mistake doing heroin that night, the deputy wrote.

Only the fact that it’s Christmas Day, prevents me from commenting on this the way it deserves...

It's a mystery to me how adults past their 20's wind up doing heroin...unless they were already addicted

A friend of mine recently divorced his wife of 20 plus years because she got addicted to meth...She was in her 50's when she started...

"Friends" at work got her hooked...

>>The Himes sisters said the adults might have died if their uncle, Michael Young, hadn’t arrived just in time to save them

Haverhill MA some weeks ago, 8 and 10 yr old children wake up to find both parents dead of heroin overdose

A great example of small town working class America being corrupted and poisoned by the big city urban drug gangs.

Kentucky was once only known for its bluegrass, horse racing, and fried chicken cooked up using an Army officers secret recipe. Today Kentucky is know for its blue meth, trailer folks snorting horse and civilians cooking up crystal meth using their grand pappy's secret recipe.

When the government/EPA makes coal mining or lumbering impossible there are a lot of people out of work.
I’m not saying these people couldn’t have made better choices but I understand the hopelessness they feel and the poverty they live in. Who but a leftie wakes up and says “I want to be a heroin addict”?

I have a nephew in his late 20s who loves his thug life and his drugs. He has spent time in prison and was shot in a robbery gone bad shoot out. He has no money,no job,no home,and his family is abandoning him one by one. He cannot be trusted. Some church folks are helping him stay alive and giving him shelter. He was all over Facebook last night crying the blues because he was all alone. I said;"hows that thug life working out for you?"

Here, we have physical world victims and almost casualties of the very real spiritual war being waged on, over and for us.

Heroin, like what is being dumped into a population like ours, looks and acts like a weapon of that spiritual war being deployed in the physical world.

Evidence for this is shown by the damage done to both the physical body and spiritual body, as well as by those who produce it and then dump it here, countries like Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan.

The counter, neutralizing weapon against it is not the absence of heroin, per se, as the problem is the absence of God.

There are physical world ways to counter this particular weapon, of course, but they aren't the cure. Even those who aren't vulnerable to it are just as vulnerable to one or many other things without God within.

The spiritual war raging around us now is very real. Getting each individual soul to not see and understand that truth, and then dismiss and deny it, is a masterfully laid trap and our generation is falling for it.

May its victims not become its casualties, but be healed and restored to fight the good fight.

The Himes sisters said they had no idea there was drug use in their parents' house. They said their parents aren't druggies and their mother is loving and responsible.

Except for that whole, snorting heroin, popping percocet and washing it all down with a couple of beers while babysitting thing. Other than that - loving and responsible.

Get used to seeing news stories like this, because heroin use is skyrocketing, due to the reformulation of prescription opiate painkillers, making them harder to abuse. On the black market, heroin often costs a quarter of what pills do, per dose, so if they can’t get pills, they get heroin.

As a rule of thumb, high grade white heroin comes in through the coasts, and cheaper brown heroin, for smoking or snorting, comes up from Mexico.

“156,000 people starting heroin use in 2012, nearly double the number of people in 2006 (90,000).” (National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH)).

Hopeless, uneducated white trash. We'll be hearing more about these Tobacco Road characters in the continuing future, you can count on it. And I bet it won't be pretty.

Poor kids, though.
