More Heroin Deaths in USA Than Gun Homicide Deaths

Jerry Garcia said herion is the perfect feeling and if it weren't for all the negatives that go with it, it would be the perfect way to live . @denilson200 is my herion dealer

William Burroughs is one of my favorite writers, but outside of a hospital I would never take opiates or heroin. The rise in heroin deaths and usage correlates with the war in Afghanistan when opium went from record lows to record highs. Apparently opium fields were being protected and lo and behold America suddenly had a new wave of heroin addiction. There are also huge problems with legal opiate addiction because the US is the most prescribed nation in the world by a long margin. A lot of money in addiction.

I don't know if it did hit the US bad but on the western coast, here, the new deadly trend is call Fentanyl; it's a kind of synthetic opioïd 50 times more powerful than heroïn and 100 times stronger than morphin. The cases of overdose have skyrocketed and the authorities are trying to figure out how to stop the plague. Apparently that most of it is marketed in China and is pretty easy to get shipped oversea without suspicions at all.

Yes they are finding a lot of herion in the us is made from fentanyl. It is persciber in micrograms while most opiates are milligrams. Police here are equipped with naltrexone which blocks opiates and can revive an OD. I wonder if drugs in Canada are smuggled through the us. I've been in Montreal and Toronto and was approached several times in both cities about buying drugs

They tried that in Arkansas for a while as well as in NJ, if I am not wrong, and it did work pretty good. Not perfect, but homicides did decrease quite significantly. The reason is simple: it's easier to sneak in 300 grams of something, with which you can make hundred of thousands of dollars, than to sneak in weapons. There are other reasons but among other things, that one is one of the serious ones. Thus said, I am not saying that I am in favor of banning every kind of guns, but I don't see no reasons why people could have freely access to dumdum bullets or fully automatic weapons (among other things).

Dude do you know how many hoops you have to jump through in order to LEGALLY have access to fully automatic weapons? We're talking ATF agents show up unannounced at your house and check serial numbers on all of your firearms and compare that to the list they have on you.
