This

It's all fallout from prescription opiates

Is it even possible to kick an opiate addiction

Yup, use dissociatives

Let me guess. There would be no drug problem if we left it to the free market.

I dont think there is a scenario where we have "no drug problem", but several nations have experienced a decline in usage after decriminalizing


Anyhow, I know that won't fly here, and we will likely double down on the war on drugs

Find me one post of someone opposing decriminalization. Because I have pages and pages of people here in support of it.

The floodgates are already open breh. Support for pot is growing. If that's what you "meant" (and it wasn't), you're still wrong. 10 yrs ago pot was illegal everywhere, now it is a legitimate and legal industry in various states, recognized by banks even. It won't be long, just like with gay marriage.

I hope the increase isn't with the black middle class....

if not, then this is a non issue..

the weirdest thing about heroin is you almost never hear of a big bust. as much dope as fiends shoot/sniff, it is always made me suspicious of the dope game that you hear coke and weed getting interdicted by the pounds but hardly ever weight of dope.

I heard Heroin feels awesome but I will never try it. I see where that road goes.

I remember when I was in the hospital, there were some dudes around my age who were herion addicts. The one guy was telling me his story...

Said it all started when he hurt his back, he started taking vicodin for the pain and he said that got outta control real quick. He said he went from popping em, to snorting em, to injecting em

He said after awhile, he realized how much money he was spending and it was cheaper/smarter financially to get herion...


Them after effects...shyt is just

I think his reference was more towards all drugs being legal. Certain countries like Spain (i think its Spain. Could be another EU country) have allowed hard drug use (heroin, etc) and have seen usage rates go down consistently. I personally don't know if that will work with American culture but its a possibility to explore to solve a difficult problem.
