    Default In Rural Ohio, An Opioid Crisis Becomes A Meth Crisis

    Trump country










    Vinton County, Ohio was hit hard by the opioid epidemic. But now, as opioids are becoming harder to obtain, more and more users are turning to cheap methamphetamine.


    https://www.npr.org/2018/06/06/61742...-a-meth-crisis
    “If we have to have a choice between being dead and pitied, and being alive with a bad image, we’d rather be alive and have the bad image.”

    — Golda Meir

    Zionism is the movement for the self-determination and statehood for the Jewish people in their ancestral homeland, the land of Israel.


    “If Hamas put down their weapons, there would be no more violence. If the Jews put down their weapons, there would be no Israel."

    Why are opioids becoming harder to obtain???
    "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man."
    — Joe Biden on Obama.

    Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.

    D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.

    Private citizens are perfectly able of doing a better job without "apprenticing".

    A poster commented that opioids are getting more difficult to obtain due to pressure to stop overprescribing them. So I used a bit of sarcasm to point out that heroin is not a prescription drug. Why do you always have to play word games? Are you incapable of having a friendly discussion?
