She has the cranky voice of a junkie, her brain has been dis regulated. She can heal from this though. The guilt on this can be a challenge, no doubt. Many heal from this, let’s hope she does ❤. I realize this post was from 13 years ago..is she ok?

Accessibility is one thing… If opioids are easily accessed in my country, I would have been addicted a long time ago to just numb my depression… I don't want smoking or sniffing anything, I want drugs that I can just drink like a medicine.

Hey, do you "guys" (people or person who made this) know what it's really like to be addicted to heroin. I have been in recovery for over 12 yrs and have never touched opiates since, but I have a deep story that may show a different side than this program/episode. Whoever wrote and published this, I have a long story for you that you will want to hear. Im willing to tell you my life during my addiction, it's colorful. Hope to hear from you soon.

This is NOT supposed to happen to you, YOU are so called white, yellow hair, blue eyes, and you are considered innocent, fair, pure, square dealing, honest, w/o EVIL intent. No NOT you, this is supposed to happen to only other people like the blacks and brown people. It did in the 80's the Crack epidemic within the inner cities. It's not our problem, No assistance from Uncle Sam or white America plus from the other nations of people who are and were here as well. Now, the flip side of the same coin, people look like Walt Disney characters need help, intervention, and are not being charged with possession of an illegal substance or NO time in the County Jail or the State Penitentiary. Full Circle, the Most High is a Great strategist and tactician

I mean, the new face doesn’t look that much different than the old race. These people look like addicts to me. Do you just mean to say that they are white? Is that what you’re getting at? You should have just said, “white people are using drugs now”, even though white and black Americans have always used drugs in similar rates.

How is this the new face of heroin, drug abuse? From 1960- present in one drug cycle after another White suburbians have traveled into neighborhoods of Mexicans and in some spots blacks to "score dope". It's become cliche, movies such as Training Day, Cheech and Chong have scenes playing on the concept.

She'd save a lot of money if she ran it on the foil in lines. She's basically burning/wasting it. Not wanting to encourage or give tips just sayin. Been clean for a few months now. It's really really tough but going strong so far…
