You know, it's not a drug in Canada per se. It's a cash crop.
Thomas Carr + Dominic Holden = Seattle
I love the link to the article about Canadian teens smoking black market cigs...especially given some posts hereabouts a while back regarding how great it was that Canada had increased tobacco taxes so much, and how that had led to a reduction in teen smoking. Right.
oh, and what the fuck is up with Seattle? Seventeen years ago we were leading the pack when it came to harm reduction efforts in the US...and now? Even Mass-a-fuckin-chew-sets is implementing heroin OD prevention efforts and we're told not to talk about it? Argh.
I don't get it. Don't we /want/ heroin addicts to overdose and die so that they're no longer a danger to society and their own families? Maybe I'm off the page here, but it's a drug that makes humans turn inhuman, the need for the drug turns them against the entire human race -- they'll kill anyone, do anything, if it will feed the addiction -- surely death (and heroin O.D. is a painless death) is the best thing that can happen for them and for society. But like I said, maybe I'm not on the same page as John Q Citizen. I have never seen anyone turn back from a heroin addiction. It's a one-way ticket.
Hey, Donovan @5. That's right, nobody has ever recovered from an addiction and all addicts should die. Same with alcoholics--no more detox, just let 'em die. Asshole.
It's Carey, not Cary.
