Heroin overdose cure: It exists, but how do you get it?

Simply enjoying the sensation.
Trying to forget something.
Trying to heighten something.
Rebellion.
Acceptance.
Curiosity.
Stupidity.

Many others, too. It can, and often will, be a mix of reasons. The usage of the drugs themselves aren't what's bad about them, it's the addiction, and the lethality of so many of these kinds of drugs. Heroin, you can OD on it your first time, using a low dose. On top of that, there is no 'between' between using it your first time, and being mind-lock-addicted to it. Opiates in general do that kinda shit. Sadly, people are going to get what they want, or need, or think they want, or think they need, and "men" like this person who is unworthy of his station in life are not helping, they're making it worse, and they're making it worse because their heads are too far up their own asses. A bunch of old rich white baby boomer "men" who were born with silver spoons in their hands, BOTH hands, who've never been out to the projects or the ghettos or the slums, much less lived in them, much less experienced what happens in them, being elected to stations of power to take care of a society that they were born apart from, and live apart from, by people who don't know any better, or more realistically, by people who are just like them. Oh, they don't have to be rich to vote for those kinds of people; they just have to be ignorant, naive, and divorced from the reality of the world in which others live.

Too many in this country are too busy worrying about me, me, me, me me me me me me. "I'm the one who is TRULY important. I don't have time to think about people suffering, dying, starving, thirsting, withering away, oftentimes within mere miles of where I live; the superbowl is on!"

Selfishness is fine, but when your entire life revolves around you and your own, and your thoughts towards others suffering is "not my problem," it's not fine. Especially because there are many, many people in this world who have said the exact same thing, until it became their problem. Then, suddenly, they want everyone to help them. I wouldn't balk at the prospect of helping someone in that situation, because then they would understand, but then there are people who take that assistance and go right back to completely disregarding everyone else except themselves, even when they're in a situation where they can actually do something to help.

We call them Red State Republicans, or RSRs as I prefer.

Awwh yeah, got my political soapbox on!
If I could deliver reps in multiples of ten, would do it right here.

"Those poor oppressed people! It isn't like they did this to themselves or anything!" Are you serious? Irrational to not want to needle exchange dedicated to helping these people extend their addictions? I am 16 & I haven't smoked a single cig. People do this to themselves, and if it gets them killed then good riddance! The last thing we need is needle exchanges that encourage this sort of behavior. The best thing to do is just let them kill themselves. Rid ourselves of this filth!

Fuck me. I wish I was 16 and knew everything again Dodgy.
In the nicest possible way, you don't have the first fucking idea what you're talking about.
