Ethreadzny2 Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 I am glad you responded the way you did. Not only is it a intelligent response and well thoughout, it seems like you take the problem personally. The problem is that there arent enough resources to help those in need. And I dont know about where you are from, but around here drug use has become glamourized once again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zack Morris Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 I think drug use is being glamourized pretty much everywhere. Read any thread on here just about and there are kids bragging about doing this drug and that drug last night. That honestly should be part of the targeted problem and it should be done it a way other than just propaganda to scare people away from it. I do also agree with MaltLiquorLove that the amount of money supposedly being put into doing something about this problem is not in any way corresponding with what is being done about it. As far as I can really see the only way things are being taken care (atleast around my way) is by taking these people off the streets and throwing them in a cell. No offer of rehab, education, any help for when/if they ever get out. Due to this its also not surprising that there are so many repeat offenders especially when the offences involve drugs. There should be employment opprotunities offered to them other than flipping burgers and sweeping the floor somwhere. Sadly though this isn't happening and the role models many kids these days have to look up to are the people saying how they used to sell rock and now they made it big as a musician, record exec, clothing designer etc. These is a major reason for the glorification of doing drugs and being involved in the drug trade. wow I went off on a rant.

Quoted post actually, we do have the resources.. the us is the richest nation in the world or whatever right??? the problem? the cia introduced cocaine and crack specifically for the following. destroy the black community and make money to support illegal wars in south america. make money of imprsoning the black and minority and now with meth the white community...seriously, do research on how much cali alone spends on locking fools up for drug related offenses...its like budget of a midwest state...cali dept of corrections is a cartel... make money of keeping entire demographics down.. drugs are fun! most writers i know have done a shitload. the other side of that is i have known a gang of fools that are fucked up on that shit and its really sad. like really sad to see your boys waste their lifes. my friend went back to the pen AGAIN! this fool is like 27 and done like 6 years allready county and pen time. why? he likes to get high and go on highspeed chases. now is that worth spending over three hundred grand to lock his ass up and make him a career criminal while not offering any form of reasonable rehab? and on a side note...all my friends who did stick needles in thier arms full of dirty crank are now doing very well sober off that shit and smart and shit. but for them there is 5 for every 1 who arent that i still know. that shit hurts. the schools here suck. we are at war and the rich get tax breaks. fuck this shit. i been drinking. and am rather emotional about said subject.

Ski Mask Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 the level of addiction that shit can drive you to is crazy. on a couple of occasions when I lived in the DES, i would see crackheads lying down flat on the pavement with a pipe and a lighter trying to smoke anything in the cracks of the sidewalk that looked like a rock. even in the pouring rain. its fucked.

!@#$% Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 As part of Maryland's drug treatment needs assessment study, CESAR collected urine specimens from representative samples of make and female adults arrested in Baltimore City in 1995. Perhaps the most surprising finding was that the rate of opiate (heroin) positives among Baltimore City arrestees was higher than that found in any other US City since the national Drug Use Forecasting (DUF) program began testing arrestees in 1987. Thirty-seven percent of male and 48% of female arrestees in Baltimore City tested positive by urinalysis for opiates, compared to 6% to 23% or arrestees in Washington DC, Philadelphia, and Manhattan. The high rate of heroin use among female Baltimore City arrestees is particularly alarming since 36% of female arrestees reported injecting drugs. This practice, coupled with their high number of reported sexual partners, places female arrestees in Baltimore City at considerable risk for HIV and other infectious diseases.

Guest Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 this thread is borderline drug talk.... but because there's been so many insightfull comments towards the nature of addiciton and the community at risk, it stays open for now. It's good to hear people talk about these things in a mature way, but if this thread gets out of control it will have to be closed. you know the rules, so please... carry on, but keep the comments high brow.

suburbian bum Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 I live in the suburbs, there are no crack heads at all. Lots of kids smoke weed, and a rare few do coke, but otherwise theres nothing. I honestly havnt seen a cop car in my neighborhood in years. But thats cause people never leave their houses unless they are driving. Its a different form of repression. I much rather prefer areas where there is a street life, I dont give a fuck if its "not safe". I have been to some of the most sketchy neighborhoods in the USA and south america and never had a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are fewer streetwalkers too. I have no sympathy for a crack head. All they gots to do is not smoke rock. its not that hard. For christs sake.

SF1 Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 The worse is when you get snitched on by a community oriented crack fiend. Me and my homie were bombing one night and this crack fiend was the only one around so we ignored him and caught tags on an abandoned crib, we keep walking and I look over my soulder to see this very crack fiend pointing at us while talking to a patrole car. The patrol car speeds up to us all like "oh you guys are out tagging heh?".... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neskoner Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 crack heads are no good,but like i said around here are mostly speed fiends,they dont bother you as much because they are always sidetracked by something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caffeine Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 Yeah, in my state ice has become a really big problem. Nowadays its not an uncommon thing to hear of middle school kids getting busted for selling the stuff during recess. In fact, i've even heard of alot of parents smoking the shit with thier kids at home. Now thats just jacked. The bad part is the only reason they're really trying to make any change is because of the constant robberies in the rich neighborhoods, and the fact crackheads on the street pose as an ugly sight to the tourists. Its as if they wouldnt even give a damn about the issue if they didnt have to see it. Sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SF1 Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 Ice??? Nigga said Ice! :haha: :haha: I aint even heard about Ice since the late 80's. Shit was saposed to be the next crack or something but never caught on the way the media was hyping it. This one dude told me about how he tried it once and it straight up paralized him for hours. He said he was aware of everything around him but couldn't move a muscle. What the fuck is Ice exactly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
