I’m a Heroin Addict

By Richard Farrell

Like a doctor performing microscopic surgery, I pour the contents of the rainbow bags into my cooker, reach for my bottle of water, insert the syringe, and draw up about 20cc. I squirt the water into the cooker, watch it move across the white powder and turn to liquid. I move my lighter back and forth under the cooker until the heroin bubbles. The smell is sweet. It makes my stomach turn. I bite off a small piece of a cigarette filter, and spit it into the burning liquid. It’s time.

I insert the needle, there’s a little sting, pull back on the plunger, and a dash of red-blue blood snakes up the middle of the clear liquid. A direct hit. Total euphoria!

Great article by a former heroin addict explaining why we are currently going through a massive heroin epidemic, how it started, and how the MEXICAN cartels - that's MEXICAN cartels for all the libs and RINOs reading this - took advantage of our weak borders and absolutely flooded the USA with heroin where we went from 10,000 overdose deaths a year to 50,000 in a very short time, and a huge number of those overdoses are young adults and teens. THIS is WHY we need a WALL NOW! And Trump talked about all this during his campaign, so what is going on? Where is it President Trump? And BTW: I'm surprised Huffington posted this article as it goes against their agenda to have wide open borders.

If a case and a half of lite beer per week doesn’t do it for you then I don’t know what to tell ya.

I’m surprised Huffington posted this article as it goes against their agenda to have wide open borders. …
The left never passes up an opportunity to make doublethink work in real life. Just another way to prop up the “big lie” of the invaders merely seeking a “better life”, never mind the utter lack of will to improve their own failing country as if it were about to become uninhabitable.
The Communists are further reproached for desiring to abolish countries and nationality.

Manifesto, Ch. 2
This is dogma to a leftist. It does not matter what results from doing it; if Marx said it, it must be a good thing, per their indoctrination. And since the USA has been the greatest enemy of international socialism, that is the country it has to happen to on the greatest scale.

The fault is not with President Trump.

Get your head out.

Agreed. Cooking smack on a spoon is a 1 - 3 ml venture at best. The rest of the diatribe is the usual leftist crap. I call B.S.

There are syringes that hold 20 mL (same as 20 ccs). So I believe the article is correct.

Also, it looks like he probably leaves most of the water in the syringe, then sucks the heroine/water mixture into the syringe. He inserts the filled needle into his body, sucks in some blood into the syringe, and then injects the blood/water/heroine mixture into his vein. ???

Oh - and my later “stepmother” gave my nephew about $200,000 for his heroine habit. Sickening.

Which are uncommon on the street unless you've got somebody working in a hospital stealing them for you. Most user's works are insulin syringes or small volume (~3ml) syringes.

I use 20ml syringes every day at work and IMHO they would be impractical at best on the street.

I don’t know about that unless it’s a horse syringe. My Weedeater is 25cc/ml displacement and if you look at the piston size it is a whole bunch bigger than a normal syringe.

95% of all non-pharmaceutical opium comes from Afghanistan. Yes, the same Afghanistan where we have set the rules for the last 16 years.

It’d take a very rich addict to work up to 20 milligrams even in one day. Heroin is still not cheap. And when I used to live in the city, I heard about overdose deaths quite frequently.

There’s a reason Keith Richards gave up heroin. It’s because the quality began to stink and it probably still does. I have little sympathy for addicts and don’t feel it’s a disease but I’ve always been blessed with very good will power except when it comes to a fine beer. The current problem lies with the drug companies and the government that enabled the situation to begin with.

If BP reasonably believes Mexicans crossing are cartel mules they should shoot them on sight.
What are we more concerned about: narcoterrorists or Americans?

The DEA says most heroin brought into the US comes from Mexico and Columbia.
They bring this poison here.
We should be shooting them.
