Revising my remark — immigrants are not dumb [although many malnurished brains are challenged to develop properly]. The reason I included them with the ‘dumb down’ witch’s brew is because most illegal immigrants don’t speak our language and don’t understand our history as well. In fact, most nations in this hemisphere look at the USA as the very Devil.
“.....addicts have ruined a viable solution for responsible people.”
People ruin just about everything. Under the heading “This is why we can’t have nice things.”
‘Taking heroine is not someome elses terrorism.’
Funding of terrorism is being part of a terrorist network. Obama aided part of a terrorist network, and doing it with hardcore drugs is one of the worst ways to fund terrorism, because addiction is worse than slavery.
Yep—and to make gazillions on the illegal drugs.
Though yes, part of the black art against rival countries has traditionally been to spread dependency on drugs and other bad stuff, we have sufficient bad actors within our country and government to do it to ourselves completely on our own.
People switching from prescription opiates to heroin are a percentage of the users but they do not completely explain the present epidemic. It’s a complex situation with plenty of fault to go around. Doctors aren’t prescribing crystal meth. They aren’t prescribing ecstasy. They aren’t prescribing cocaine. They aren’t behind the legal weed movement. We are a nation of drug addicts. We create an enormous demand for all drugs and there are organizations ready and able to profit from our nation-wide substance abuse problem.
a recipe for slavery.
Before the “War on Drugs” the cartels essentially used an anti-competitive business model. They kept competition low by literally killing people who went into business in “their” marketplace. The entire import business had shaken out to just two or three major players and almost no minor players. Somebody who rented a plane and flew down to Columbia thinking they’d pick up a load of Cocaine or Marihuana was reported by the suppliers to the cartel they dealt with and the cartel dealt with the entrepreneurs. Pretty much everybody knew the dangers and steered clear. As a consequence of having the market sewed up there was an incentive to maximize profits by limiting supplies. Keeping the quantity low for a given amount of money had a number of advantage to the cartels and even if they’d wanted to increase supplies the two or three cartels only had the capability of sending in x tons per year.
Enter the US War on Drugs. The US was amazingly efficient at wiping out the cartels. When the cartels were gone their brutal enforcement was also gone. Now, a tourist could buy a pound of whatever and smuggle it back. The drug business moved from a Marxist controlled economy model to a free market economy. This is the perfect example of why the free market economy is superior to all other models. The price of drugs started to drop precipitously as soon as the cartels were wiped out.
The fact that drugs are dirt cheap now is because of the Law of Unintended Consequences. Our own government made them cheap by wiping out the mechanism that kept them expensive. Every government program you can think of runs afoul of the Law of Unintended Consequences.
The heroin coming across the Southern border and elsewhere, but mostly from the Southern border, is extremely cheap, potent and more readily available, than pills. Whether it’s being made there or coming from China and Central Asia, Afghanistan is one of the worlds biggest producers of opium, and transiting over the border, very little, if anything good comes across it.
With pills, you have to go see a doctor or head to the ER. Lots of states are instituting tracking databases to prevent folks from going to 5 doctors in one day and getting 5 prescriptions.
Heroin, find a dealer, pay your money, get high.
Personal choices and behavior is what is causing most of this and people like yourself, unfortunately, have to pay the price for someone else’s misbehavior. That’s one of the reasons I have issues with the proliferation of, Narcan. Why does the taxpayer have to foot the bill, a few hundred a dose, for someone that wants to OD on something. I’d be willing to give a person one chance. Put their name in a database. Second OD, you’re, SOL. Either that, or you and your family are being billed, triple the cost to cover all the expenses.
I will never understand why we didn’t take out the poppy fields in the ‘Stan.
6. Months. Try next day. Watch live PD or google “when can I use after a naarcan injection? Insane.
Yes, and long-term opioid dependence was tolerated by the clinical and regulatory community as the natural progression of pain management. Not so any more...
Thread winner.
Trump is working on it...

We can debate who/what is behind it, but the goal for supplying and endless supply of drugs, Common Core indoctrination in the schools, and media nonsense is always the same:
To make the majority of the population lazy, selfish, and stupid so there will be no resistance when the Communists come knocking at the door, so as to usher in the NWO.
Too many users are chasing the dragon. Liberal laws on marijuana create a drug culture that says recreational drug use is A-OK. This is how many of the users start chasing the dragon. Many of these users wind up on a fast train, headed straight to hell. Given the strong addictive qualities of heroin, a user’s productive life is lost to society.

I agree....but...it is the eight years of “Obama”, home inspired, terrorism. What Obama did to African-Americans, Hispanics and all American citizens was criminal treason to the maximum!!! It is really a shame the minorities of America have no clue as to how badly they were used and abused, in Obama’s trek to destroy the American Republic. Go figure.
The epidemic is weakness and stupidity. Libs and millennials hardest hit. Darwinism, it applies to us as much as any critter in the woods.
Add in GWB’s failure to destroy the Poppy crops of Iraq & Afghanistan, there is a federal law that applies to foreign cotton growing competing with US Cotton growers.
Then the Tax $$ being demanded. This has not been posted.
IT’S ABOUT TAX $$ NOT A ‘FAKE OPIOID CRISIS’
