Oh Ti, how heartbreaking - I hope your community knows how lucky they are to have volunteers who do what you do! Nurses and paramedics get paid to do that but you fill a void for your neighbors. I hope you get some rest today
How does someone who purchases illegal drugs know if they are cut with something deadly? Pot can be laced with PCP with dangerous consequences. As Ti said, heroin can kill on first use in some cases. Dose means a prescribed amount for a person/patient to take for a specific ailment. So illegal drugs have no doseage
And how neat that your daughter is doing a video slide show. I did one for the reception and it just looped over and over on the tv screens they had on several walls. One great photo of my daughter and her husband dancing has a shot of their baby pictures up on the wall behind them
A private room so the just-married couple can “rest”?
Bow-chicka-wow-wow
An excellent argument for legalizing and regulating, isn’t it?
Stop making sense.....
Heroin? No it isn’t.
One of our sons graduated from Texas Tech in Engineering. It was a good school for him. Of our 4 children, it was the only one (at the bachelor’s level) where the Dean came over to us at the reception after graduation and acted as if he actually knew our son. Now our grandson wants to go to Tech. Hopefully he’ll get a scholarship because it will be out of state for the GS.
I have to tell a nice story about Tech and the humanity of thier professors. Duruing finals week my son’s last year, one of his former roomates (and our former neighbor) was found passed out in front of the TV in his apartment. His current roommates called MY son to figure out what to do. The young man (20) was admitted to the hospital and was found to be suffering from advanced testicular cancer.
My son was disignated to be the go-between with the stricken man’s family until they could get to Lubbock from Houston, and our son began a 24 hour watch at the hospital. Arrangements were made to fly the young man to Houston for treatment at M.D. Anderson, but he died before the plane landed in Lubbock. Our son accompanied the body to the plane and supervised as it was loaded aboard.
During all this chaos, our son encountered one of his professors at the hospital who asked why he was there. Joe explained, and the prof said, “Don’t worry about your final exam. I already know enough about your work to give you your final grade. Just take care of your friend.”
In the 3 days that Kevin lived after being hospitalized, at least a dozen of his high school friends trekked to Lubbock to visit and to grieve. They all crashed at Joe’s apartment.
I thought it was more than decent for Joe’s prof to give him a pass on his final exam, and I’ve always respected and appreciated them for that.
Sorry for all the typos in that. I guess I was getting emotional again.
Pot, or tobacco. Dust is the worst.
I was always glad Crust never caught on.
(Crack, crushed, spread and smoked over a dusted blunt)
And....No. LOL.
What little I’ve heard about fentanyl leads me to believe it is not something anyone should even think of using, unless they are determined to make an exit-and mixing it with something just as/more dangerous is unbelievable. I pray that the little boy has a mom and family members to take care of him.
Your son must have really been a strong kid to do all of that for his friend.
I didn’t even see the typos - reading quickly I guess.
Wow - never even heard of crust. Sounds nasty. But I did witness a few people over the years who smoked pot laced with PCP and that isn’t a pretty sight either.
Times Square in the early 80s was not a pretty sight, to say the least....
Zombies, or Violents.....
So you are for adding another government regulatory agency to promote a product that we know is harmful, and taxing at 25%? Don’t you think we would just move the “war on drugs” over to the “regulation on drugs”? They would still have the war on everything other than pot, so your support would just add more government involvement and costs.
Police actually doing their jobs made a big difference didn’t it? I wonder what this new Mayor will do - probably fight the PD all the way
There are excellent arguments against legalizing heroin as well. I am not in favor of it. But I do recognize an excellent argument when I see one.
You raised a fine young man.
We already have a state agency that sells a dangerous drug - alcohol. They should sell pot at the state stores, too.
Do you think the people buying weed in Colorado have to worry that it has been laced with PCP?
(Heroin, as I said above, is a different story and I do not agree with legalization.)
