Yeah! Because kids always make good judgements based on what they see and hear and what we tell them.
And those that don’t?
Well, heroin just cleans out the gene pool, doesn’t it?
Like my gene pool. Buried in a Pennsylvania grave yard after 19 years of love and heartbreak.
Some dealers give unsuspecting stupid experimenting kids “hotshots” to send a message to their deadbeat friends to pay up.
Been there.
Enough dead junkies might encourage the others to quit.
Yeah! That works! Just like dead drunk drivers convince other drunks not to drive!
They are dying because it is purer than what they are used to. Quality control means standardization. If standard legal heroine were always pure, users would cut it or use a smaller dose; if it were always cut to a certain strength they’d be used to that. The problem with lack of quality control, besides toxins in the whatever is used to cut the drugs, which is not the issue here, is random variation in strength. When it fluctuates up, as in this case, one gets the preponderance of overdose deaths.
Years ago I busted my youngest for smoking pot. He said if I could smoke cigars, he could smoke pot. I got the box of cigars out and told him that if I keeled over from a bad cigar, mom could find the maker's name on the box and sue everybody in sight - could he do the same with the stuff he smoked? No answer. That was in the days when the dealers were lacing the pot with PCP. That was some REALLY bad stuff.
I’m sure you’re familiar with the scene in the Bible where Jesus instructs the seventy to eventually shake the dust from their sandals and move on ... some people love their drugs more than even life itself, and certainly more than the lives and security of their families. Their families would be better off without them; they are the dust to be shaken off of the sandals.
Uhhhh not really. Use the Goggle Force and one will see that 'restricting immigration' is a recent innovation for Libertarians.....
While I would vote for a Libertarian/Populist over a Democrat/Traitor any day, they do need to repudiate their past support for open borders.
And as we see, when they do, they win elections. And frankly, the Paul's are more Populists rather than classic Libertarians. (Not that there is anything wrong with that)
So fellers, hitch up them sixty inch waist pants of your'in, and put the word out ..... "We have seen the Light!!"
So, you're only real objection to "Libertarians" are the ones who sit around their basement playing D&D and supporting Open Borders in theory, while never actually doing anything about it; whereas you're willing to admit that the Libertarians who actually get off their duff and get Elected, DO tend to be staunchly Pro-Border Security.
Well, you might acknowledge that, just for the sake of intellectual honesty.
See my italicized comment above.^
Can't make it any plainer.
And their whole business about who gonna pay for .gov is a bit goofy too.
Over all, they seem to be intelligent males, but haven't really thought out their positions - except for dope - guns - and bringing in hot wimmens from desperate nations*
*See: Bell, Art, late night radio host Who talks Libertarian but default vote is always Democrat.
Natural selection at work...
The users kill themselves off and cut down the demand. What’s the downside?
