I love this woman.
The governor of Maine, however, is a fucking idiot. Does he REALLY not know just what it's like to be addicted to H, or ANY opioid? Apparently not; his drug of choice was crack. When you're hooked on H [IE after the first time you try it], you don't give a fuck if you live or die after a while. You just want to always be in that high. To the point you stop breathing.
This guy just wants to say "fuck you, pull yourselves up by your bootstraps." I hope his throat gets cut open by a desperate heroin addict trying to score some cash for their next fix.
Also, can I just say this? Growing up in several of the nastiest fucking slums in the country, I saw what heroin and coke did to people, but it hadn't spread so much out from where I lived in those days. I had thought that heroin had died off, replaced by meth, but instead it looks like it's just merely become even more available while having less awareness about it being circulated. Except now it's moving further into suburbs instead of the hood,
which makes sense. With so many peoples' lives starting to fall apart, it makes sense that such a numbing drug would start gaining in popularity amongst that demographic.
Query, have you chased the mighty dragon? Have you felt that overwhelming flash, that sense of wonder, chill and wonder as the plunger still has half way to go? That first high is never reachable again.
As a downer, heroin calms you down to the point of complete "don't care" Mode and the only thing you will want is to return there, to that fictitional point in time where everything is ok, even if you are on a street corner numbed out of yourself on the rain. In the end its all a cop-out of reality. It takes alot of will to get out, sure, but it pays off for sure.
