Im outraged. They should stop serving the McHeroin meals, they just are not healthy.
I haven't listened to rock and roll for DECADES. I listen to classical, opera and, when all stations are on commercial, un poco de salsa
Why rescue?
Both can be, should be and should have BEEN all this time ... effectively patrolled.
But there were young girls, young boys, hot women and old ladies to molest at the airport
Couldn't waste time searching for drugs
bozo's all wee wee'd up and hissy fittin' 'cause a rich white guy is gonn'a evict his undocumented ass and accompanying wookie out of public housing in not too many weeks.
tough !
I bet these guys never tried marijuana first.
Heroin is an epidemic where I live - kids die from it on a weekly basis around here.
They see it happen again and again, but they think they won’t become addicted if they try it once. So sad.
Think about it for a moment.When 911 is called you have the police notified,The Fire Dept Emergency Unit is dispatched and then an Ambulance is called.Think of the expense right there.
The one way to stop the consumption of these illegal drugs is to not rescue the users following there overdoses.That will be one less drug user and Health care dollar consumer.
90% of the heroin comes out of MEXICO!

True
Portman
“We understand that this heroin is primarily coming from Mexico, over the border.”
— Rob Portman on Tuesday, March 8th, 2016 in Department of Homeland Security hearing
Most heroin in U.S. now comes across Mexican border, Rob Portman says
By Nadia Pflaum on Monday, March 14th, 2016 at 1:24 p.m.
Ohio Sen. Rob Portman has been busy in Washington touting the Comprehensive Addiction Recovery Act in response to a shocking number of heroin overdoses in Ohio.
The bill just passed in the Senate, 94-1. (Nebraska Sen. Ben Sasse was the sole “nay,” saying he believes that fighting addiction is a local issue.)
Ohio ranks high on the list of states reeling from the national epidemic. In Montgomery County, which encompasses Dayton, Ohio, heroin-related deaths increased 225 percent between 2011 and 2015.
Back in the 1970s, the heroin on U.S. streets was the “black tar” variety, and much of it came from southeast Asia. In 2010, 80 percent of the heroin in the world came from poppy fields in Afghanistan, according to the Office of National Drug Control Policy.
So when Portman said that most of the heroin in America comes from Mexico’s border, we were skeptical.
Portman, it turns out, has done his homework. The Drug Enforcement Administration’s National Drug Threat Assessment of 2015 says that Mexico is the primary supplier of heroin to the United States.
“Southeast Asia was once the dominant supplier of heroin in the United States, but Southeast Asian heroin is now rarely detected in U.S. markets,” the report state. “Mexico and, to a lesser extent, Colombia dominate the U.S. heroin market, because of their proximity, established transportation and distribution infrastructure, and ability to satisfy U.S. heroin demand.”
The report also says that Mexican “transnational criminal organizations,” (the DEA’s term for drug-dealing gangs) “pose the greatest criminal drug threat to the United States; no other group is currently positioned to challenge them.”
The National Drug Threat report notes that Colombian gangs were traditionally the suppliers of wholesale cocaine and heroin to Mexican and Dominican groups. But cartels in Mexico are ramping up their roles on the supply side — opium production in Mexico increased by 50 percent in 2014.
Mexican labs also produce fentanyl, a synthetic painkiller that is 80 to 100 times stronger than morphine. Fentanyl is sometimes mixed with heroin or substituted for heroin, and the DEA reports more than 700 overdoses attributed to fentanyl between late 2013 and early 2015.
Drugs get past the U.S. borders mostly “by land, not by sea,” said Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, in the same March 8 hearing with Portman. And a 2015 Washington Post series on the surge of heroin puts the border detection rate at a scant 1.5 percent.
Smugglers’ creativity defies gravity: One successful bust came when agents caught two men flying a drone carrying 28 pounds of heroin from Mexico to California.
Our ruling
Portman said that heroin is coming to the United States primarily from Mexico. He hasn’t been studying drug facts for nothing.
We rate this claim True.
Translation: BUILD THE WALL...DEPORT DRUG SMUGGLING ALIENS!
They did it to themselves. Best to leave it at that.
If somebody wants to kill themselves with heroin, who am I to stop them?
Trump’s fault!
After all, the police noted there were 20+ ODs and four OD deaths in the last two weeks. Mostly all since November 8!

Happening in McDonalds parking lots and bathrooms everywhere...why is anyone surprised?
Look there are two answers: Go Duerte on the dope dealers or legalize it and distribute it at safe medically monitored locations so your kids are seeing these folks kick it at MCDs.
Another legacy of Obama in the national economic depression he created.
Hard to believe that there are still people who want to LEGALIZE DRUGS. How much more of this do they really want?
I believe that the current heroin epidemic is an unintended consequence of FedGov’s war on prescription opiates. Sure there were pill mills and people getting into trouble with these substances but they are relatively safe compared to street drugs because the dosage is known. Now that the supply of prescription opiates has been curtailed the street price has gone up to the point that heroin is less expensive. Some people are going to want to get high - unfortunately that is their nature. The stupid ones are overdosing which is one way to clean up the gene pool.
I’m glad I had enough common sense to never ever try heroin. Crack and PCP were no goes for me as well.
Received the following article this morning. The multiple-award-winning documentary, “The Greater Good,” was initially released in 2011. The producers of this film are allowing a full and FREE viewing through 11/25.
Passing it along since it addresses issues pertinent to you. Perhaps you have already seen this film. A producer of “The Greater Good”1 has also released short videos with outtakes of interviews that were conducted for the film, as well as other information covering a number of vaccine topics. There is a 2nd video on this topic, in the same article.
On my way to and from work I pass the parole office, methadone clinic, and drug court (where they give drug tests to probationers). Their parking lots are packed. It is very depressing when you think about the implications of how busy they are.
I never thought heroin would be chic after the dawn of AIDS.
Unbelievable.
