Thread: America’s Addiction to Opioids: Heroin and Prescription Drug Abuse

Oh the young people have no idea at all. They listen to the drug pushers and the friends already on the stuff and join up to be "cool". Education is very important, but it has to be truthful, it has to be honest, it can't be exaggerated like the ads on television, it has to be the "real risks and consequences" of using drugs or they won't believe it and will pay no attention due to lost credibility. It's like when people try to force the belief that marijuana is so dangerous, when it really isn't, they don't believe you when you tell them meth, heroin, speed and crack are dangerous. You lie to young people, they'll never trust you again. So whatever education is done must be honest and down to earth.

Something has to be done to end the War on Drugs. It's proven itself to be complicit and an aider and abetter of the very problems it was funded to solve. Just another tragic example of our:

Period of Ironies and Opposites.

Truly, I don't know any young people who do drugs - or I don't know if they do.

BUT - the young people I talk with are very aware of the dangers. They are young and feel invincible and think it won't happen to them. That's part of being young.

Of course, a lot of supposedly mature people feel the same way.

As for abuse - I think any use of a drug other than for medicinal purposes, and the appropriate drug, and only in the amount needed, is abuse.

I put that story right up there with the other garbage they have been feeding the American people over the years.

Things like 'we need the illegals, they add to the economy'.

They are just doing the work no one else will do.

There are 11 million illegals in this country.

Our veggies will rot in the fields without illegals.

Irag has weapons of mass destruction, and we can't wait for the mushroom shaped cloud.

Eggs and butter are bad for you.

Don't drink raw milk.

I mean I could fill this entire sight with the ridiculous 'truths' the media has put out there - all designed to brainwash the people.

Bravo!! Love your post, nntrixie. And I think you're exactly right.
