Should we ban it ?

[listen2me 23 1,542]

YES

[fandandy 3,311]

So much for non violent drug offenders.

[Cruzer 1,992]

Ban Heroin.

[RLLD 3,455]

Heroin is stilla big problem, buy Ox and some of the newer stuff is taking over, ruining entire towns......just amazing the damage this stuff is doing.

Around here it's meth. It destroys people.

 

Another thing people are making is called Shatter. They mix butane with weed. If you see someone buying butane that's prolly what they be doing.

A boss I had and my accountant both lost their sons to heroin.

shatter is another horrible product, the same product can be made using a cool press without butane. Its more costly up front to produce, but is pure as concentrate can be.

No, we should regulate it and leave it in the hands of idiots. That works well.

Not to worry! Obama has released hundreds of drug dealers to fill the consumer demand. Hundreds more will be released in the next month to satisfy any future demand.j

Sure, blame the dealers

 

once they were jailed, heroin sales dried right up!

We need to go full Duterte on they a$$es. Instead of a war on drugs we need a war on drug dealers. They'll get the message sooner or later.

Not sure why comparing the two is relevant, but heroin is already illegal, isn't it?

[KSB2424 3,083]

I don't know the answer. But I fail to see how making a drug so easy and quickly to get hooked on, legal a good idea.

Drug companies have well-funded lobbyists, that's how.

ever hear of Methadone? yeah and it's free.

[mobb_deep 917]

They should open heroin stores. Make it safe to purchase, like guns.

Would kill way less people. probably 90% and you can't kill someone else with heroin, only yourself. too bad guns dont do the same

Most of those were crack dealers. And yes, supply did diminish.

I've never tried heroin, but it always makes me laugh when I think about how Eddie Murphy pronounced it when he was imitating his (mom?)

My son is currently in recovery, awaiting a bed at a long term rehab facility. his girlfriend nearly OD'ed earlier this year (my son and the girlfriends mother had to revive her) and if she had died the officer that responded told my son that he could have been charged (as the one that purchased the drugs) with something similar to manslaughter. I don't know if that's BS or not, but its what he said anyway.

[Baker Boy 1,485]

Obama has this under control.

 

President Obama has ordered his intelligence agencies to conduct a review of hacking during the 2016 presidential election and present their findings before he leaves office, a top adviser said Friday.

Your son and his GF are both smackheads? Maybe let kids know drugs are bad sometime in the youth? It's pretty much a lost cause, junkies are gonna do junk. Maybe not a day after rehab, maybe not a month, but they will do it.

my step bro (48) was a junkie since 25, been to rehab, jail, everything. just threw 3 years clean down the pisser last week (rough time of year, his bro died 2 years ago 2 days after xmas in a single car crash)

 

eta: that is not true. they would only charge him if she died and he left her there and did nothing. They always charge the dealer (if your son had not given up the dealer, they may have throw him in jail)

Whatever happened to a little bit of weed, mushrooms, maybe some coke like in the good ole days?

The drinkers don't like the facts on the real problem in America. They would rather attack the drug user and gun owner.
