and my brain goes insane

its just how addiction works

A normal guy wont shoot up with no high

until his brain chemistry associates and changes for that drug

But is used to bind with the opiods so the guy wont stop breathing

then he will

slippery slope

Narcan is used to stop the overdose, not to help with withdrawal

Methadone is to help with withdrawal

maybe i am going in the wrong direction, all i am aying is addiction is difficult for those that have never tried anything to really understand

i dont know one drug from the next when it comes to perscription and whatnot

Im addicted to gambling

but i know a lot of people hooked on herion and used to be crack

So i know the issue in general

those are different people than you have ever met, i would bet

And i know war on drugs made everything worse

At least where i am at...

i dont know a lot about the exacts on the war on drugs, but i can claim to know a bit about the effects on those taking some of the worst drugs we have ever invented as a people

lost many friends to coke and herion

have to just cut them out after a while

try to help

but can only do so much

War on drugs made people into criminals, that is what it did

while the laws put people in jail

i never put that first line in front of anyone to snort, shoot whatever

there is still a bit of choice in there

after a while the addiction takes over and choice leaves their hands to a degree

but it started with a yes or no question at some point

But we closed the psych wards so it tossed a bunch of people out on the streets

did we?

are there not psychewards anymore?

In general us closed a lot of them

well there were a lot of bad ones at one point

maybe thats what got closed, but i dont know, i would like to think that had to be what happened

but i cant really make that claim

Summary of it

Can research more from this if you want to

Ghee, that is one of the talking points of the NRA, NPR

well in this case, they are probably right

i can get behind what is being said here, we do have a mental health issue
