Opium is the opiate of the masses.

Does Anybody watch the neo Daily Show? I can't imagine that going from John Stuart and Colbert, with big studio sets and a variety of skits, down to "Random dude from South Africa moves to America, bitches in the corner of his bedroom" is exactly an eye catcher. Or does it purely exist for the low cost and propaganda purposes.

Spoiler alert: I'm asking these questions in the same way that this guy is asking questions.

Yeah, but it's not common.

Especially when they're booting it.

And yes, it's possible to take the pills and turn them into a form that can be injected. It's very disturbing.

I just looked up booting and I regret it.

From urbandictionary:

Mainlining a drug into your bloodstream, drawing back the syringe to refill it with blood, and then injecting it back into your arm. The theory being, the blood injected back into your bloodstream, will carry with it, any residual narcotic leftover in the syringe.

Nah that's wrong. You only draw the plug back to make sure you're in a vein, blood coming into the syringe confirms it's in there.

I tried heroin once (not even willingly mind you) and I spent 3 months dreaming (awake and asleep) of it and thinking about it 24/7. I had myself fully convinced that I only did it once, and I can totally do it a few more times without getting addicted.

I haven't done it ever again, but looking back, it's insane how addictive that stuff is.

I'm glad you were able to get clean. Not sure what the story is behind taking it nonconsensualy, but good to hear you were able to kick it. What really sucks about addiction is that you never truly can go back to how you were before ever starting. There will forever be a lingering desire for what ever your poison was buried in the recesses of your you mind. I hope you can stay clear. Never give into the "just once more couldn't hurt" nagging thought. ESPECIALLY if someone goads you into it. Sometimes turning down someone is even harder than turning yourself down.

Reddit has a much better spam filtering mechanism than Win.

The privileged television class doesn’t acknowledge the realities of drugs. When you’re exposure is all just from Chad and his like $1,000 8balls at the few frat parties you went to that’s how you picture it. Surely the actual-drug junkies that are grinding their faces off on the pavement in those poor neighborhoods just need a bi-weekly talk with a social worker.

"How do you know that professor?"

"Because it fits the racist narrative of the 21st century!"

"Do you have evidence they were racist in their period though?"

"They're racist in OUR period and that's all that matters!!!"

Isn't that the Harvard Prof. who admitted to recreationally using heroin?

Both of these men should be strapped into a chair and forced to watch, Clockwork Orange style, what heroin turns people into. I want them to see people who melted the flesh off their bones because they would do anything for their next high.
