I'm not convinced...
No, meth is.
Leftism is the worst thing in the world.
Sometimes natural selection isn’t very pretty.
Drug dealers should be locked up for life, and drug users should have all public assistance funds cut-off.
That should say “Illegal heroin” instead of “Heroin” since heroin was a common active ingredient in cough syrups, analgesics and sleep remedies sold everywhere, that millions, including children took when America was the actual land of the free.
No doubt that heroin is a bad substance, but I think alcohol is just as bad. Both can kill you if you consume more than your body can tolerate. Just as both can, and often do, destroy entire families.
Tough. There isn’t a single person who starts using drugs that says, “Man, this will make me allll bettterererer!”
Everyone knows how messed up drugs are. Everyone.
As the other poster said, natural selection isn’t pretty.
maybe it has something to do with.........open borders?????
ring-a-ling Clue Phone.....it’s for you
Sorry, that would be Islam or Socialism, heroin can't hold a candle.
This makes Duterte seem like a sensible guy. Round up the dealers and shoot them. Watch the supply dry up.
Well, the vast majority of it is coming from Mexico across that wide open border, so... heck, maybe it’s deliberate. Liberals always accused the CIA of funneling drugs into the inner cities to kill off blacks. Maybe it’s the other way around: Heroin being directed into the heartland to kill off blue-collar whites.
The person(?) who sold it to a kid is the worst.

Because the only responsibility anyone has is to pay taxes to Nanny government.
Other than that, nothing is their fault.
Mexican cartels have insured that super pure meth and heroin are flooding our streets in huge supply, and at low cost to the users. Every time I hear a Mexican President complain about a wall being built at our border (which might help bust some of the mules) I feel like wringing his neck and shoving his face into a mountain of this poison. This is the primary source of the problem IMHO.
Moral relativism is at the core of degeneracy. When people denied that sobriety is essential for decent, rational behavior and indulged in all sorts of mind altering, epicurean substances and claimed it was their right, their body and their choice, the self destructive narcissistic behavior eroded the culture and caused real harm to others.
I'm not convinced...
Where’s the “recreational drug use doesn’t hurt anybody” crowd on this?
FR used to have a small but loud covey of them. Maybe they OD’d.
A lot of things in the world are bad. Heroin abuse. (Yes I said abuse... it used to be a respected medicine.) Meth abuse. (It still is a recognized medicine in a few contexts.) Political abuse. They all will invite their own destruction, perhaps accompanied by the political restriction of natural rights in an attempt to curb them.
But the thing that is guaranteed to kill in misery is to say, along with the fool: No God. Want to go to hell as a society? Do just that.
