However because the war on drugs and interdiction don’t work we must try new strategies my thought is provide the illegal narcotics through the government to people who want to be addicts collect their info, Make them pay if they can afford to give them their narcotics and manage and supervise it—if they want to kill themselves and be a junkie then let them.

Drug addict come to behave as if they have an indestructible "parasite" (like tapeworm) in their body and mind. <br /><br />This parasite grows very powerful and demanding and dictate behaviors and how the world is seen and defined. In a way, the drug parasite grows increasingly powerful and converts the addict into a robot.<br />Many comercial drug addiction treatment programs do not address this problem effectively because they legally can't do what is required to kill the drug parasite or because they would lose clients.... it's about practicalities, money, legalities, and drug addiction as a virtually indestructible worm in the brain.<br />Think about it?<br />Mexico-WatcherAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-63225590282480591662018-12-31T08:43:53.578-07:002018-12-31T08:43:53.578-07:00513 its not 1980 its 2018...the street as you call...513 its not 1980 its 2018...the street as you call it now exists in cyberspace...its called Tor and is an anonymous browser for the Dark Web.

We are all better off with your facts, data, and coverage. <br /><br />I'll end with this...."But for the grace of God there go I" in terms of addiction, if you have ever had a loved one or fallen into addiction yourself you will never know...just how easy...just how difficult...and how devastating addiction can be. Some people have a "chemical fingerprint" in their DNA and biological makeup that makes them more susceptible to addiction...No amount of punishment deters addiction...treatment and education are the keys to stopping addicts and helping them heal. <br /><br />Treating a social problem criminally doesn't work....it actually has made our drug problem worse in the US...because of the immense profits involved. Drugs are much more readily available and much cheaper today despite the failed war on drugs. Need I remind people of the early 1980s when cocaine was selling for 50-60K a kilo. <br />Rant over...Happy New Year to allDougnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-12019240452302769282018-12-30T17:02:59.393-07:002018-12-30T17:02:59.393-07:00@ 2:30 it does not take a "genious" with...@ 2:30 it does not take a "genious" with a PHD to understand that doctors and experts as you call them to understand that since labeling drug addiciton a disease, drug consumption has increased - not decreased in this country.<br />What good do these experts do since labeling drug addicts writing books and such crap in other words???<br />All that study is worthless.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-53978835714513842922018-12-30T16:45:54.837-07:002018-12-30T16:45:54.837-07:002:30.

The people that OD and die have varying levels of vulnerability for lots of reasons. This must be considered as much as the quality and quantity of drugs used. <br /><br />Also, with fentanyl being so powerful the margin of error is very small. ... a sort of modern push-pull "speedball" where both the depressant effects on the body and stimulating effects phase in. Addicts like this so the mixtures sell. Many opioid and meth/coke addicts are beyond reasoning logically... they morph into drug seeking entities driven by the artificial needs in their minds and bodies. <br />There is so much more at many levels to this whole complicated issue.

I'm sure most are aware there is fent in there. The mixture is similar to what is popular with mixing coke and heroin called a speedball. User like the euphoria of combining the two. If they try it and like it, there is demand for more. The problem lies with dosage. With fent your dealing with micrograms. Very hard to control does when you are measuring in sizes of salt grains. With heroin, you had to use the two separately. With fent, its mixed right in and you'll never even know it's there unless someone tells you or you use it. Then it's too late. Overdoses aren't a deterrent for an addict. It can actually increase demand. Google Frank lucus.
