Sorry but the writer missed the mark. Nothing in this house.

Heroin Has Impacted Every Home

It certainly impacted mine. Everyone here (except me) is now bummed because the next installment of Hunger Games is all messed up.

Idiotic. It hasn’t impacted my home, nor is it likely to. But God is honored in my home, and my children don’t long for drugs to numb their world.

Add Chet Baker to that junkie list.

This is Chet in 1959, pre-heroin:

This is him before his death in 1988:

Wow, man. Horrifying. Wow.

When they say it has impacted every home it doesn’t just mean your kids are junkies.

I believe it has impacted every home because I know Iran, Muslim Brotherhood, and narco organizations funded Chavez campaign. Chavez turned Venezuela into the world’s biggest drug dealer using military planes and personnel to deliver drugs internationally in tones.

How Venezuela’s Military Tried to Fly A Ton of Cocaine to France (2013)
http://m.insightcrime.org/pages/article/4792

Obama had the same campaign ads Chavez, Obama also has covert ties to Muslim Brotherhood, and was funded by Soros, who launders money for these international gangsters.

Venezuela fell off the map when Obama was elected, strategic Latin American countries (drug routes) turned left, drug became legal, and now highly addictive deadly heroin is everywhere.

If Manchurian candidate Obama hasn’t effected your household, I’m glad. He hasn’t done major damage to mine either, but I am afraid for my country. We are living under great deception, so I want to get the truth out. In the end, we know who wins this war.

He had to relearn it after pushers he owed money to knocked his teeth out. He finally died from "falling" out of an 18-inch-square window, supposedly helped by some other pushers he owed money to.

Phenomenal talent. What a waste.

Drugs are getting into the country in large quantities. That is why the supply of highly addictive dangerous heroin is so cheap.

Why aren’t drugs being seized before coming into the country making the news anymore? There are NO reports of heroin shipments being seized before entering the country.

The rest of the world has plenty. I promise you government/Holder is complicit. He has ordered border agents to leave if people crossing the border throw rocks. What about drug sniffing dogs?

Eric Holder has just this week admitted there is a problem, and wants to solve it by providing overdose medication. He is in charge of the DEA, thats ridiculous!!!!

The only time I ever heard of it was over 60 years ago in high school when the blacks from Rodger Young Village, Grifith Park California, were using and selling it.

I agree, the people who gave my son Oxy were other kids from the neighborhood. He thought he was self-medicating for anxiety and darn near killed himself.

I’ve never met anyone who’s even tried heroin.

Me, either. I don't travel in those social circles. Thank goodness.

The “War on Drugs” hasn’t worked. The drugs being used previously simply had a lower rate of inducing death or lethal results. Cocaine in the 80’s, for example, or meth in the 90’s.

Opiates have gone in and out of fashion over about a 4 decade cycle. They were highly fashionable in the 70’s, and kids and rock stars were dropping like flies back then. Then coke became the hip drug of choice, and so on.

Well, we’ve just about run the course on the stimulants like coke and meth, so now we’re back to the opiates again.

Morphine was a fashionable drug in the period between WWI and WWII in the US and Europe. It became much cheaper after about 1930 due to new methods of being made from precursors.

The war on drugs has discredited itself. It needs no outside help. The number of people who have been killed by law enforcement during “no knock” searches of houses based on nothing more than the “evidence” presented by a doper who wants to get a break from law enforcement has reached absurd levels. We’re talking about completely innocent people getting gunned down by SWAT teams based on nothing more than the word of some dope peddler or dope user.

It’s long past time to end the “war on drugs” and restore people’s Fourth Amendment rights. As far as I’m concerned, if dopers die from using drugs, that’s their issue - they brought that end on themselves. Getting people who aren’t dopers killed on the word of dopers to law enforcement? I have a big problem with that.

I seem to be, as usual, about 45 years behind the times, just getting interested now in vaping marijuana (WA State).

Well, no one has ever admitted to me they’ve tried cocaine, meth, abused prescription opiates, or mescaline or heroin or others. But I suspect some have. One FReeper did admit she’d used LSD way back.

It is about supply and demand. There is a large supply of very addictive, pure, cheap heroin, all over the country.

Government studies show a clear correlation between availabilty and abuse. The war on drugs “failure” was a Soros campaign that obviously people like you fall for.

Government studies supply and demand. This is an issue of supply and demand. https://www.ncjrs.gov/ondcppubs/publications/policy/99ndcs/iv-g.html

Of course government “studies” would show that. They want to keep their war on drugs alive and going. They’ve got a huge investment in the DEA, all manner of law enforcement agencies, toys, electronic surveillance, you name it.

Oh, and need I mention asset forfeiture, where they can take private property that is “connected” to a drug bust without any court decision?

I never knew that history of Griffith Park. I have a zoo membership.
