Video at link. While Michael Bloomingidiot and other do-gooders are so preoccupied with keeping "our children" away from tobacco, some are turning to heroine, now more potent than ever. My old town of Port Jervis is a gritty old RR town that has fallen on hard times but is trying to make a comeback of sorts. Heck, someone even painted a humongous rainbow on the side of the building housing and art gallery across from the old train station that's been converted into small boutique shops, so it's all good./s It's got good and bad areas like anywhere else, meth and pot being the drugs of choice among that segment of the population. A couple of years ago the largest drug bust ever in Orange Cty, NY occurred in this town, just half a block from the police station.

So why are the feds allowing more heroin into the country? What deal did they make with the Mexican cartels or Afghan tribal lords?

Are they backing a new player in the import business? MS13? Latin Kings?

Are they providing guns and ammo like they did for Sinaloa Cartel?

We’re on the same page, but this non sequitur made no sense:
While Michael Bloomingidiot and other do-gooders are so preoccupied with keeping “our children” away from tobacco, some are turning to heroine, now more potent than ever.

The heroin trade and leading syndicate in our area has been steadily and continuously increasing since the arrival of the post-Soviet and Kosovo refugees, which was almost 20 years ago now.

Talk to the NY National Guard vets coming back from New Windsor on how they were throwing money at the Afghan poppy farmers and rebuilding the road system used to transport the heroin westward to Europe,... US Taxpayers paid for the heroin trade’s security since we invaded Afghanistan.

I know I’m a “square”, but I never did understand the attraction of so-called recreational drugs, especially something as lethal as heroin. What makes young people so susceptible to them?

Hopefully the “legalize it!” crowd will show up soon, explaining why this would be better if there were no jail time.
