It sucks, but deflecting blame elsewhere only ignores the unfortunate choices of a single individual. Isaiah 40:31 - But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. “They’ve got us surrounded again, the poor bastards.” - U.S. Army Paratrooper at Bastogne |

Opioid addiction is indeed very difficult to shake. Over a hundred years ago, physicians called it GOM (God's Own Medecine). When opiates are pure, they are addictive but the side effects are manageable. Its the street drugs killing people. In 1915 when opiates become illegal we had 5 million addicts mostly women. It was prescribed like Prozac in those days for psychological problems, stress, anxiety, insomnia, etc. Most of those people had jobs or raised children, went to church on Sunday, and were NOT criminals. I don't see why we cannot allow physicians to prescribe opiates to people who we KNOW are addicted. We would need careful control to ensure that they don't re-sell the drugs. Perhaps we could require a residential facility for addicts so they could get safe, controlled amounts of drugs. Needle exchanges don't deal with the OD problem of street drugs. I understand that people prefer that drug addicts attend rehab. However, beating addiction is very difficult and we need to have an alternative. 70,000 deaths per year. War on drugs has gone on for generations. Prisons full of users who became dealers. Cartels getting rich and powerful. It is time to try a different approach. |

The parents did everything they could. Bought her a house, supported her in every way possible. Heroin has a grip that even the best-intentioned can't beat. My best friend is now raising her two children. It's very sad. My condolences.

It seemed harmless at first and turned into a dangerous habit very quickly within months. I liked getting high. Luckily I realized that I had a problem and was able to quit. I haven't touched any drugs since. The best advice that I can give is to never try it at all. |
