“You can experiment with marijuana and alcohol for a long time and not become physically dependent,” she said. “The bridge from experimentation to dependence for opioids is extremely short. It’s a couple of weeks.”

this is good news. this has really touched our family directly. the good news is it didn't kill him, but was very close. plus he was able to get into a wonderful Christian facility for rehabilitation.
How about this - mandatory 20 year sentence for those caught selling narcotics. Mandatory treatment for users with a sentence awaiting for those caught again or those who don't complete the treatment program. They need to know society will not tolerate them. Every junkie is by default a thief. They have to steal to keep supplied.
2:43 YES! Because we don't have enough people incarcerated already.
With quadruple the existing prison space 2:43 might be onto something.
They will end up overdosing. They have to know when they start that they will probably die from the drug. It's not like they've never heard of the after effects. So, if they start, they have a death wish.
Nate get your hands out of your pockets!
