Why does it seem like you always struggle with the simplest concepts? How long was the bus you rode to school?

Well the baby is born in most cases physically addicted to the drug. But that doesn’t lead to them being drug addicts later in life.

How they are brought up, genetics, trauma, and a multitude of other things play a factor in the opiate epidemic.

Easy to say until it's someone you know or love that's effected.

And you can thank the CIA for the crack epidemic.

There are some weird comparisons with meth and opiates. Opiates are somewhat "cleaner" but more deadly as a whole. Meth is just actual poison mixed up. It does awful things to people. Not that heroin doesnt.

In many cases the govt. IS the cartel.

Ask Lt. Colonel Oliver North about how the crack epidemic of the 80's came to be.

Somethingsomething
Iran-Contra
something
CIA bringing pure cocaine in by the C-130 load to sell then send arms to Contra Rebels in Nicaragua and send cash to Iran Dissidents to foment rebellion against the mullahs

somethingsomething
operation run out of the White House
something something.

That was the 80's.

Fast forward to Afghanistan War and US Troops at CIA lead protecting Warlord poppy fields for the international opium trade.

Rewind to Vietnam and the CIA's operation Air America where Asian warlords sold tons of opium to CIA for distribution around the world again, using Military Aircraft.

It has a hard craving for months after. But nothing is worse than a pains detox.

Never went to rehab but I'm also good at drugs. I like the pain of detoxing and taking drug holidays. Keeps your mind straight.

I have several loved ones whos lives were destroyed by meth, booze and pills, it sucks to see them killing themselves. They are still alive but I wait every day for the call/text that they have passed on. Assholes like him have no idea what addiction does to people and how it starts.

And this is from me where I know that I may have a problem with alcohol.

It is so dirty now. I dont touch it.

I used to like mixing it into my blow.

Called those lines doing a "Randy Savage", it made you say "Ohhh Yeah!"

Edt: All meth is good for is a single rush. It's a garbage drug because of sleep deprivation but also nothing else like it gives you that single rush if it's good stuff.

Sleep is very important to maintain balance with life and drugs.

The opioid epidemic started in the late 90s and continues today.

quote:

Late 90’s? More like 2010-2012

OxyContin was approved for use by the FDA in 1996, and was originally prescribed for the treatment of chronic or severe pain in cancer patients. It was considered a "miracle drug" because it provided a time-release dose of oxycodone.

By 1999, pain management doctors were prescribing Oxycontin like it was candy and pain management clinics were popping up everywhere. From 2000 to 2003 that shite was out of control as walk-in patients would pay the doctor $100 cash, and walk out with scripts of Valium, Soma, OxyContin, and Roxicodone - all have a high risk for addiction. Doctors were raking in large amounts of cash that had to be laundered. The Feds/DEA didn't start cracking down until 2005 after realizing they had an epidemic on their hands.

How do I know about this subject and dates? I've been dealing with pain management patients and doctors since 1994. I meet with them weekly to discuss current treatment recommendations and how physicians plan to slowly wean patients off narcotics (spinal cord stimulator is one option). I also know several DEA agents who were in charge of investigating the corrupt doctors and clinics. Mandatory urine drug screens every 30 days has cut down on the pill-seeking patients; however, this country still has a problem with heroin and opiates bought/sold on the streets that result in people of all ages overdosing.

This is correct. Not many labs in the US. Some still in Northern Cali and idk about the one in Arkansas.

But Mexico due to lack of some regulations have labs that yield higher grade and a more consistent product.

China is the largest importer of pure meth because it can be produced so cheap and pharma is unregulated. Most of it is purchased by the Mexican cartels and transported into the US through a variety of means.
