Karzai needs the US out of Afghanistan because we are impeding the expansion of his business.

As someone else said, Karzai won’t last a month after we leave.

Soros, and the cartels, have been pushing for drug legalization, including heroin, since 1996. He (they) have spent millions and they have obviously influenced many people. I grew up in Miami in the 80’s and 90’s. There was a legitimate drug war. There is no “drug war” right now. Holder’s response to the heroin deaths is a medicine for first responders. He is in charge of the DEA!!! When I was growing up there was cocaine. Since there really was a war on drugs and shipments were seized daily, cocaine was expensive. Kids and people with limited resources didn’t have easy access to drugs. There were no deaths that I knew of. I knew one addict, in my entire life, and I know a lot of people.

The crap they are bringing is cheap. It is cheap because they isn’t stopping the massive distribution of highly addictive and dangerous heroin, so it is cheap. It is cheap and therefore very appealing to silly kids curious, or trying to have fun. No bueno. The governments job is to protect citizens. Heroin destroyed China, and reality is that drugs are already legal to Pharma industries who ruthlessly supply highly addictive opium products in pill, patches, and even lollipop form for kids, and those “legal” drugs are also abused in epidemic numbers. Don’t be fooled,the “failed” war on drugs was a Soros campaign, but the fact is we didn’t have so many deadly opiates available to kids before Obama was president. Opium production has reached unprecedented levels under Obama. Iran, and covert Narco Islamists have funded South American elections, and have been in the region for decades. Now this last week I read about a toddler going to day care with heroin in his jacket. The heroin being sold out of McDonalds! Opium production in Afghanistan has more than tripled under Obama. The banks, Soros, are laundering Billions $, and rest assured that money is greasing a lot of palms. May God help us.

Did I read somewhere that heroin is the drug of despair?

Has despair gone up since The One stopped the seas from rising and cooled off the economy?

Seems like a new pipeline has opened. Wonder, did we provide a new cartel with guns, ammo, and intel?

What county? Allegheny has had quite a few already this year. Butler (especially around Butler city) is turning into a mecca of heroin.

The midwest is getting their drugs from CHICAGO.
Which really the Cartels have a free trade agreement to get from Mexico to Chicago. It's simple: It's either coming in on planes from Venezuela or by ground from Mexico.

Where are the dopers with their argument that it’s caused by “prohibition” and their calls to legalize it?

That said, the solution to heroin use is not the law. What good is the law when most of these people will simply die because their use.

Obama is an idiot because he doesn't take a stand against the destructiveness of drugs. But destruction is what Obama does best.

Addicts want to be free...but they need help. And prisons don't help with that problem.

It does no good to imprison an addict when is path to liberty is outside said prison.

Just like the way the Brits brought in opium to China. China resisted which resulted in the Opium Wars.

Yes! I read a report that the Sinaloa cartel got enough guns and ammo to arm an army. They were also given security information about their competitor cartels.

York...and many of the victims (and I don’t use that word lightly) are NOT “traditional” junkies but persons with chronic pain, who, “thanks” to Øbamacare can no longer afford their prescription pain meds.

That’s marijuana you dolt. Marijuana, a plant in the same schedule as a narcotic. Heroin is far, far different as it is manufactured through chemical processes. Marijuana just grows and dries. But you knew that already, yes?
