One facet of this situation I find to be highly disturbing, is the complete and total lack of resources & availability for help for those that are truly seeking a chance in their lifestyle. With the ongoing “War on Drugs” being waged by the federal government, one would be led to believe that accessibility to the proper care and treatment would be made readily available to any and all who are willing to seek out the help they deserve. It’s seriously time to stop talking about the actions that need taking, and actually putting the actions into places where the help is so desperately needed. I hope and pray that one day, affordable and legitimate assistance can be provided to every soul in need of rescuing from this unprecedented epidemic. God bless. #MAGA.

Plus the plain truth is, fatalities from dope, coke and meth are nothing compared to how many people alcohol and cigarettes kill each year.
Heroin, cocaine, prescription opiates, all benzodiazepines, and all other prescription drugs combined only kill 60,000 people a year.
According to the CDC, year after year, tobacco is responsible for about 400,000 deaths and alcohol kills about 100,000 people.
So, you guys should know that this is all just a bunch of bullshit drug hysteria created our worst enemy, the mainstream American media.
Pleasant dreams..

Some people are capable of using any psychoactive compound recreationally – even something capable of creating severe physical dependerncy, like diacetylmorphine – commonly known by it’s original brand name, Heroin. Heroin was the brand created by Bayer Pharmaceuticals, who original marketed the drug in the United States beginning in 1895, as a less addictive alternative to morphine. It was finally banned in 1928. But it’s just a bunch of hydrocarbons, capable of crossing the blood brain barrier, like almost every other drug. The real problem with heroin and other illegal drugs is the violent crime that is created by their prohibition while always being in great demand in the market, which of course means that there are HUGE profits to be made in the black market manufacture and distribution of these substances. And since the only elements willing to and capable of engaging in such a high risk venture are the criminal underworld, these organizations govern and litigate their business matters with automatic weapons and through the use of such tactics of intimidation as the decapitation and the subsequent display of their competitors’ heads as well as amputation of limbs for the same purposes.
At this point, and after years of lost lives and wasted budgets, most individuals in high ranking positions of drug enforcement as well as men and women working courts and indeed, many federal judges agree that the drug war can never be one. The obvious and only feasible solution has been beaten into us. All illicit substances must be legalized. Its the only way to dissolve the profit incentive and remove the criminal element.
