I was talking with my elder son tonight. Just chatting, getting caught up. He said he talked with his ex-wife a few weeks ago for the first time since their divorce nearly fifteen years ago. She had remarried, was the mother of two children 10 and 8, and taught high school math. All pretty routine. Then she told my son that her husband died of a heroin overdose about a year or so ago. Heroin overdose. It isn’t unusual anymore. How horrible and two orphaned children.
It isn’t just opioids, synthetics, but heroin, an opium derivative. Do you think heroin just might be smuggled across the Southern border? Are we doing enough to deal with the ongoing drug nightmare?From the perspective of those two fatherless children, I would say we are not.

As long as people want to escape their reality there will be drugs and plants and things available for that purpose. The real tragedy is how unhappy people are, how disconnected to each other.
But yes. Opioids and heroin and crack and meth are all horrible horrible drugs.
In my opinion we aren’t doing the right things to fight this issue. We can’t just blame cartels and doctors. They get a good chunk of it but…..the issue is so much deeper than that. So much.
Yeah, exactly. There is a sickness of the soul. So much to be said.
Yes…. unfortunately
