“...parents are taking a “more forgiving approach” to heroin addiction....”

That is a false assumption.

I have watched this happen to two families. As the addiction progresses, and the family realizes there is a serious problem, they look for detox/rehab options. These are very expensive, and middle class folks don’t qualify to get a freebie on it. So...they actually view incarceration as the best option for their kid to get clean.

Where are the Mexicans getting it from?

“Personally, I think it’s a complex issue however this legalizing of drugs and overprescribing of painkillers isn’t helping.”

There was a time in rural communities when local manufacturing plants provided entry level jobs and training to low skilled youth, community colleges provided vocational and technical training, and churches provided moral direction and social activities. Our governing elites chose to sent the factories overseas, eliminate vocational training in community colleges and turn them into 2 year college prep schools, and discourage participation in organized religion.

Our society is what it is due to decisions made by government, the business community, educators, and the voters.

There has been a clamp down on paid meds. Doctors stand to lose their license if they are just prescription mills now. And, some of the pills have a gel like substance added that makes it difficult to pulverize to a powder and snort/inject to the body in the rapid manner people like to get high.

This has made heroin an attractive alternative.

I’m still waiting for the lid of Acapulco Gold I ordered back in the sixties. On second thought, cancel that order.

You wanna be a junkie, wow

"Freddie's Dead" - Curtis Mayfield

Hey, hey
Love, love
Yeah, yeah
Ah, ha

Freddies dead
That's what I said

Let the rap a plan
Said he'd see him home

But his hope was a rope
And he should've known

It's hard to understand
That there's love in this man

I'm sure all would agree
That his misery was his
Woman and things

Now Freddie's dead
That's what I said

Everybody's misused him
Ripped him up and abused him

Another junkie plan
Pushin' dope for the man
A terrible blow
But that's how it goes

A freddies on the corner now
If you wanna be a junkie, wow
Remember freddies dead

Pain meds are almost a religion here. Being “pain free” is practically a Constitutional right. Once people get on the stuff, they won’t get off. And if they get off, they go right back to it.
We work with a local trailer park(Appalachian ghetto) and it is full of people on disability who hunt for drugs and money all day long. That’s all they do.

Afghanistan opium production is up.
The Southern border is wide open.
DEA protects Mexican drug cartels.
Per capita US prison rate is the highest in the world benefitting prison systems and companies that service prisons.

Paralleling the 1840s British opium Wars against China, The evil US government is waging an opium War against American for their own interests. We are an enslaved an conquered nation.

From the Wire...... Proposition Joe, drug importing sage BTW.... I started rewatching the Wire season 2 and the series is absolutely prescient and right on today as it was 10 years or so ago describing the various criminal and corrupt political cultures in Baltimore. It is not to be watched but rather studied in detail

There is a simple solution. EXECUTE DEALERS. From kingpin to street level; kill them off. No dealers = no supply = no problem.

If government won’t do its job, citizen courts will have to do so. Fair trial in a basement or garage, with immediate shoot/shovel/shut up to follow.

She probably meant Corey Monteith, who died in 2013. But there were many more including comedians, and musicians.

Jesus only chooses to set 4% of heroin addicts free in any given year.

Rewrite: Only 4% of heroin addicts choose to be set free by Jesus in any given year. Their choice, not His. He offers, they have to accept.
