It's a mystery to me how adults past their 20's wind up doing heroin...unless they were already addicted

A friend of mine recently divorced his wife of 20 plus years because she got addicted to meth...She was in her 50's when she started...

"Friends" at work got her hooked...

All the high end pain killers are opiate based. We quite literally created a nation of junkies with Oxy and its friends, then we realized that was a mistake and clamped down on the scrip houses, but forgot about all the people that were already hooked. That’s a major source of the adult heroin problem.

A life long friend of ours has an older sister who recently became a meth head. She's about 50.

But, this heroin thing is outta control. Brought to us by our friends, the financial elites, to bring about our complete destruction even quicker.

I just saw a documentary regarding the heroin coming in now. It's decimating small towns, particularly in the northeast where the use has always been a minor problem isolated to the ghettos. It's hitting all age groups, all income brackets, all educational levels. Many times they start out with opiate pills, move on to smoking heroin and with no time are injecting and strung out.

Watch your kids, educate them. It's all you can do.
