Heroin use has been on the rise around the world since the invasion of Afghanistan. Poppy production is at an all time high over there


most US H comes from the south though. Afghanastan feeds europe. Some of that shite gets to the US, but the trade route for H to the US comes through mexico from either mexico or s. america.

And goes through the south from texas up to the NE. This is why places like Alabama, georgia, ms, south caroline, LA have a H problem. It has to flow through those cities to get to the real markets in the NE.



I don't live in BR, so I can't comment on the drug situation there. It wouldn't surprise me if it was bad there though, as its on I-10 and I bet a shite ton of H moves from houston to NOLA going through BR on I-10

No, you're not. You're using a straw man. The arguments you laid out aren't the arguments used for marijuana legalization. You just picked a bunch of arguments that be used for absolutely anything

I still don't see your point.

Weed and heroin on are on two completely different levels.

Ive never been able to understand why people even touch this shite. In the long run NOTHING good ever comes from using heroin. Sure we have gotten some badass music from musicians on the shite but they all eventually die. People think they can just do the shite in moderation but it never ends up that way. Once the effect of a little wears off you need more and it just escalates from there. The shite is highly addictive yet people still do the shite for whatever reason. I'll never understand it.

How about cocaine. It's kind of in between the two? Is it okay?

Are you gonna give me a chemistry lesson or are you gonna admit that they contain extremely similar chemicals (diacetylmorphine versus paramorphine) extracted from the exact same plant?

They are pretty much the same. At least with OC you know what you are getting tho.

Keep telling yourself that

I think some people can go the chipping route and be ok, but its awfully addictive. its like 20% of the people who try it get addicted (compared to 10% for cannabis).

we need to clarify that addiction and physical dependence ARE NOT the same thing

I know a ton of people who have tried coke and never got hooked. Same is true for Meth.

The addictive potential for these drugs is wayyyyyy overstated. Its not without risks but its not like you try it once and you are hooked for life.

From my experience, coke is only addictive when your on it. After a weekend coke binge, you wake up feeling like shite and don't wanna see coke for a while.

Meth, i have no idea.

I bet if you had friends IRL and you were having a casual conversation and one of them said "oxycontin is essentially heroin in pill form" you would agree with them.

But this is the internet, and you have to take everything literally and at face value, not conversationally, even though it's the goddamn OT lounge of a college football site.

It's all about proving people wrong instead of having a decent, normal conversation.

depends what you mean by okay.

According to the law, no. But should people be able to put what they want into their own body? I believe so.
