You have a good knowledge of history eg Britian, China, cresent.
What historical books do you read??
I see it all the time.. trust me.. I see it in the morgue, I see it in drug testing.. stone cold facts. Drugs costs money, or other things, like prostitution. Why do you think welfare recipients sell their free food to convenience stores? The welfare we provide addicts with is being sold for drugs. They do have the money. I see it, ask your local LEO.
They probably also drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes, gamble among a number of other things. For every pot smoker that ends up ODing, I can point to 50 that are still productive/mostly productive members of society. By making pot illegal, you are increasing the likelyhood that pot smokers end up using heroin (a pot dispensery or store that legally sells pot isn’t going to try to “upsell” you to heroin - a street dealer will)
“Pharmacists and doctors are the number one leading cause of opiate addiction. The drug dealers just reap the rewards of the health industry handing out narcotics like they are candy.”
The majority of addicts that I deal with, daily, don’t have doctors at all. You aren’t wrong about overprescription, but it isn’t the actual cause.
Well, I wonder if that trend varies by location. Because I have been told that directly by both the head of local law enforcement, and the director of the local social services agency.
Have you personally known any people addicted to drugs, legal or illegal?
This article is not about our youth. It is about middle-aged white women.LOL
Well.. I live and serve a working class community. I have also moved in the last year. I saw this in both states. I imagine the upper eschelons of society may not have it in this magnitude. So I suspect that may be a factor.
Close the borders...execute drug dealers on the spot!
Yes. It became drug of choice because it is cheap. Cheap because it is virtually unimpeded.
Now we know what addictive drugs will do on an open market. A lot of people too stupid to say no.
The area I am talking about is mostly rural, but within 90 miles of DC.
My ex wife gets a large script of Norco’s every month and sells them for about $4-$5 each. She doesn’t take them.
My favorite!
Free enterprise. Lol.
He’s kidding NSA...honest.
All the libs that can't deal with Trump's election, don't cha know?
“I used to do a little
But a little wouldn’t do
And a little got more and more
Just keep tryin’ to get a little better
A little better than before
I’ve been dancin’ with Mister Brownstone
He’s been knockin’
He won’t leave me alone...”
(Guns & Roses tune)
Yup. Read up the Opium Wars and what the globalists (same people, really) did to China. This is all part of the replacement plan for white European American stock. Take their jobs, destroy their communities, destroy their values and flood their gutted, hollowed out cities and towns with life destroying drugs and the sickness of addiction.
Probably insulated from it, then. I would trust my local LEO, so your lucky to live in a place where you don’t serve those in this particular circumstance. It is a terrible heartbreak. I find your situation odd still, as my husband prayed last week with a Doctor whose daughter was in federal prison for drugs. It might be a tsunami headed your way though. Much Love to our faithful first responders. If you do have to serve the addicts, someday, then serve them with tough but steadfast love.
Just remember, it isn’t your fault they are right back at it.
Yep ....pain is “whatever they say it is.”
Dude sitting there wolfing down a cheeseburger in the hospital bed gets his immediate dilaudid dose because he says his pain is a 10!!
You have completely missed the point. You asked sarcastically if Heroin is worst then Ebola. The point is that it isn’t worse than Fentanyl. Get it?
BTW, how many reports can you find of children who died from Heroin when it was marketed legally?
