lately, I've been watching and reading a lot of reports about our (USA) heroin addiction epidemic. it kind of blows my mind that this stuff can find it's way out of afghanistan, across the ocean, thru our borders/ports and on into the heartland of our country.
is this an american problem or do all "developed" countries have heroin problems? what about meth? has that made it to europe is is that an american thing? as John Kay said "Goddamn the pusher man!"
our ongoing "war on drugs" needs to take a new direction...

Okay... this is why I was pissed off at the Bush Administration in 2005. I mean, seriously... HoneyDew Melons? Competing on the global market with commercially grown melons? What is worth more to some Afghan farmer... heroin or HoneyDew Melons?
Was Bush actually ON heroin when he thought this up?

Oh No! Come to Broward County if you want to see the sick! 24 doctors... have the authority to prescribe heavy NARCs, that was the count according to the U.S. surgon general . 17 of those Doctors practice "pain management" in my County!!!!. I sliced my hand open while cooking... I needed stiches! I went to all the nearest clinics, trying to get a stich or two, maybe a tetnis shot? WEll the only places avalible only had drugs "medicine" and not doctor on duty. I can get Oxycotin , loratab, crack, pretty much anything but a band aid . You think Zombies are a joke! They are all over South Florida. I forgot how many people in my "county" overdose and die everyday. the count was like 8? people die everyday? I guess florida is too fancy to low grade street drugs? I'm moving far away before the year ends, btw! I wouldn't make stuff up. I do have cited sources, and a dictionary... too lazy.
EVACUATION!!!!

P.S. I like your cat. Looks like a cat that used to live in my house.

there is a massive problem with heroin in the cahokia/collinsville/belleville IL area. a lot of high school kids are on that shit. why the fuck would they begin using iv drugs???
the doctor i work with had a cousin die of a heroin overdose last year. he was 16 and went to an exclusive private school. it can happen, even in what people think are the best of kids.
didn't former nfl qb erik kramer lose his 17 year old son to heroin overdose last week??

War on Drugs... Battle those drugs until they can not exist and
I have faith that someday they will not be desired anymore.
I don't think that works, it hasn't. Put money into treatment, don't throw the dude with a joint in jail.
joint :? who's talking about weed?
we are talking junk... killer junk
the kind that takes your child to the point you, even as a parent,
wishes they were dead.
How has the 'War on Drugs' solved that problem?
Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V
well if they would stop battling weed and get tough on the hard drugs that would help
also 10 - 15 years ago we didn't have the scare tactic anti drug program we do now
it was just say no to drugs when my kids were in school
it didn't have the shock value as to why say no ... it was also law enforcement
that was in the schools, in many cases that is not a teenager's friend.
I do feel some years down the road we will see less drug addiction,
it would help if adults would say no to prescription drugs too though.
As I have mentioned in other posts, parents set the example and the tone
in the home and dictate who your adult child will be.
Children are little sponges long before we think they can understand.
If you don't want your child addicted don't be addicted yourself.... this includes all
'drugs'.
A child does not see the difference between drugs only that the parent is not themselves,
off limits, impaired and secretive in behavior or this is how they have fun and enjoy life.
This is learned adult behavior that may someday come back to haunt parents.

they will squish all they can & return every harvest to squish some more.
those elephants squished......and then they squished again :shock: :shock: :shock:
I know that there is a better way than "war" on drugs..because this just equates to war on "human nature"
theres got to be a better way than "WAR"

I was seriously unaware that heroin was STILL a top recreational drug in the US. A friend over the holidays told me of this S Florida band Secret French Kissing Society called "I Gotta Move" from his heroin dealer who lives next door. Love the song to me it's too funny.
it goes
I live next door to a heroin dealer [get high]
I live next door to a heroin dealer [get high]
I live next door to a heroin dealer
Right next door... shes my neighbor
I live next door to a heroin dealer [get high]
Every day i pass by her flat to get high
Every day i pass by her flat to get high
Every day i pass by her flat to shoot some dope
Smoke some crack
I live next door to a heroin dealer [get high]
Its just so sweet for me she lives next door
Its just so sweet for me she lives next door
Its just so sweet she live next door
Its such a breeze for me to score
I live next door to a heroin dealer [get high]
She hooks me up on days when i am broke
She hooks me up on days when i am broke

Wow melons and corn as an alternative to poppies. Although I did see a news story years ago where some group was trying to encourage Afghan poppy farmers to sell their crops legally in order that they could be used to make morphine for use in hospitals. That would seem like it would make more sense then melons.

Yeah, thank God that I'm good as dead... thank your God that I'm not aware And thank God that I just don't care And I guess I just don't know."

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A Los Angeles coroner's office says the cause of death for the 18-year-old son of former NFL quarterback Erik Kramer was a heroin overdose.
Thousand Oaks High School backup quarterback Griffen Kramer was found dead in his Agoura Hills home on Oct. 30.
The Ventura County Star (http://bit.ly/rKnHWk ) says a toxicological report shows the teenager died of acute morphine heroin toxicity.
Friends told investigators that Kramer began foaming at the mouth while consuming heroin with them. Authorities say one of his friends took him home and laid him down so he could sleep it off. The teen was found dead the next morning.
Five have been arrested in connection with Kramer's death.
Erik Kramer's NFL career spanned from 1987 to 1999. He played with Atlanta, Chicago, San Diego and Detroit.

Britain has a HUGE heroin problem.
I work with heroin addicts every day of my working life.They are the most self inflicted tragic people ever,it takes their very souls,lives,children and families from them.They will do anything for heroin,I mean anything.the effect on their children guarantees another generation of fucked up adults,when a 4 year old child shows me him "playing" at using a water hose as a tourniquet.
