[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm totally ignorant what is the folding over thing that you can see people doing in the video they are standing but acting like they are touching their toes what is that??

That looks like a zombie apocalypse. [/quote]

Synthetic opioids literally turn these people into zombies. There’s also some other synthetic street drugs circulating that have horrible effects.

The synthetic drugs seem to get worse and worse. Natural heroin is no longer found on the street, as it is too expensive and can’t compete with the synthetic narcotics.

[b]This is why I’m a big proponent of heroin legalization[/b]. Let the government sell and regulate it. Addicts are going to turn to other stuff as we see in this video. [/quote]

Wait - what?

Legalize heroin ???

Seriously????   Anyone else have an opinion on heroin legalization ??

Maybe this topic deserves its own thread.  PP - mind creating a new thread on heroin legalization?[/quote]

My 9th grade English teacher had a mini discussion about this one day. His belief was that heroin could be a perfectly safe drug to take if used in s controlled manner. As long as you got the base level maintenance dose every day one could lead a perfectly productive, long and happy life.

He acknowledged that it was best not to use drugs and develop an addiction but posited that once addiction occurred it would be a life long habit so at that point it was better to learn how to manage it. And that unlike crack one needn’t end up isolated from friends and family in an abandoned crack house just because of an addiction “medical”  issue.

Sort of the point of methadone I suppose.

Your 9th grade English teacher should stick to Shakespeare. The likelihood of a maintenance dose working long term is almost non-existent. Heroin changes your brain’s chemistry, you build tolerances, etc.
