Usually selling drugs is all about money. Drug dealers don’t care who they hurt just as long as they have a strong cash flow. One would think the the heroin epidemic is a case in point.
Looking at the data I find that over the past 15 years the supply of heroin has almost doubled. Over the past 20 years the price of heroin has fallen more than 50%. I also notice that Hezbollah has become a major drug trafficker and that it uses its profits for weapons.
Now this is all bad enough but a thought occurred to me and that is what if flooding the market with cheap heroin isn’t about just money but deliberately crippling and killing the youth of America? What if the goal is to disrupt American society in a fundamental way to render America a much weaker enemy?
I, for one don’t believe in coincidences. The heroin epidemic may just be an act of terrorism on behalf of the Iranian government.
Heroin got the bump-up because of the opioid high-usage, and when doctors got pressured to lessen prescriptions, the opioid-users quietly flipped to the best alternate medication...Heroin.
The Hezbollah guys do fall into the mix because they became the ‘cartel’ that moved the drug out of Afghanistan, and into Europe and the US. It finances their operation, and their thugs.
But all of this goes back to the late 1990s when the pain-killers got market approval, and started the perception that you could control pain better.

Actually, opioids cure some issues. I know.
Taking heroine is not someome elses terrorism. It is your personal weakness of character. That is not a disease floating around on a germ. It is a personal desire you wont control. That is why i don’t want to pay
for your failing.
There is a *subset* of people who push a variety of harmful agendas for the purpose of harming the USA.
Of course, the majority of most harmful activities do not engage in any given deviance for the purpose of hurting the USA.
Just a *subset* do.
...but that subset pushes “drugs of despair” such as heroin, genital mutilation under various soft-sounding names such as “transgender,” the display of random welded pieces of discarded junk as if “art,” etc.
Important to remember that the above happens, as well as that the majority are simply “seeing art” or “finding themselves” or “experiencing ecstasy,” etc.
It’s a minority subset of each harmful activity who push their agenda for the sole purpose of harming the USA or harming the youth of the USA.

Really ?
That's funny because I've been taking different opioid based meds for several years for Severe Bilateral Neuropathy in My feet up to the knees and now in the last 8 months into both Hands.
Now My Doctor can't Rx them for Me anymore. Now I have to go to a "pain clinic" to the tune of $600.00 for initial visit, $325.00 for monthly follow ups AND pay $75.00 for a damned Piss test EVERY MONTH. That really shoots the hell out of $1200.00 a month SSDI.
It's a REAL PAIN IN THE A$$.
And BTW I did NOT run out to the Street to buy Heroin...
PS- a Rx for 30 day supply is $200.00.
Try to be legal about things and I just get SCREWED!!!!!!!
I've got the answer for the REAL JUNKIES problem. Get busted once, clean up your act. Second bust- I'll donate the required caliber round so they can be shot in the head and that will quickly remove the "junkie" problem.
Opioids don’t cure...they simply mask the pain.
Then you start to get into the long-term use, which is a long discussion item. If you are totally dependent on them...you likely develop a secondary problem now...liver damage. Toss in the fact that long-term usage means increased tolerance, and more of a prescription to reach pain-relief, and you reach a point where you really can’t stop the drug, and have to take more to achieve the goal of pain-relief.
You are very unfamiliar with gastro problems.
BTW, I have not taken one in years.
I have a bottle of them in my cupboard.
I’m not throwing them away. It is good medicine when the pain hits.
The world can respond to the lowest common denominator as it always does and you can chime right in.
Be sure to look both ways before getting run over.
I don’t argue with people about pain-relief and generally believe more research needs to be done to replace and take opioids out of the market.
All we are doing is putting a drug out there which you will become tolerant with the present dosage and each year...seek out another doctor or pain-clinic to get more of a doseage, which all leads eventually down the line to liver damage...thus giving you a whole new problem to worry about.
I agree totally that the heroin idiots are creating long-term problems and draining off medical resources. It’s stupid to call out some ambulance to save an overdose idiot, and then repeat this six months later again. Some of these will end up with five or six ambulance calls before they finally pass on.
In the rural county where I grew up....ten years ago, there would have been zero heroin users. Today? I’d take a guess that 300 users exist in the county. The whole thing begs questions.
Yea it begs questions.
A bunch of weak-minded drug addicts have ruined a viable solution for responsible people.
They are dying. Not because of me but because of their mental stability.
Just ask Hezbollah how Obama got them to smuggle it, shutting the DEA
Iran’s growing drug problem: ‘No walk of society is immune’
They loiter on pedestrian bridges, puffing on pipes. They squat behind bushes and palm trees in leafy parks to get their fix. Even doctors and nurses are users.
Iran’s drug problem has become a national epidemic, health ministry officials and local doctors say, drawing the poor as well as the affluent, the secular as well as the pious, to an assortment of hard drugs including crystal meth, painkillers, synthetic hallucinogens and heroin and opium trafficked from neighboring Afghanistan.
“No walk of society is immune. Even the sons of Islamic clerics are patients in our clinics,” said Dr. Hasan Razavi, who runs a small rehabilitation center in western Tehran.
The United Nations Office of Drugs and Crime says Iran has one of the gravest addiction crises in the world. Health ministry officials estimate there are 2.2 million drug addicts in this country of 80 million, 2.75% of the population, but doctors who operate some of the hundreds of government-sanctioned rehab clinics nationwide believe the actual figures are higher.

Like most of the so-called terrorism we are fighting, most of the drugs flooding our country are the result of traitorous Deep State policies and activity.
It is ultimately the fault of those who start taking the opiods illegally or unsafely—but also to the activities of American treachery as much as that of any other country.
Hello. I would like to recommend 3 sources of information for non-narcotic relief of neuropathy, if you are interested.

Something very inexpensive to try is a variation on an electrolyte replacement drink with a few extra vitamins -
The ingredients are very cheap from the puritanspridevitamins company.
distilled h20, powdered msm, apple cider vinegar, powdred vitamin c, stevia to sweeten, baking soda to neutralize. For some reason, MSM and vitamin C combined are an excellent pain reliever.
Other things can be added that will help a great deal, specifically alpha lipoic acid (nutrients)
Not giving amounts, I am not a medical person, but the first and third options listed here will have amounts if you want to do the research. Best to you.
My tagline has been [and might remain for some time] along the same lines. Good job!
You left out the Bushes.
Legalize pot, bring in the drugs, flood us with immigrants, turn education into indoctrination.
A witch’s brew to dumb down the voter.
