HEROIN!

LIKE NEIL YOUNG SAID, " I'VE SEEN THE NEEDLE AND THE DAMAGE DONE."
( sorry, caps lock was on, didnt realize it and Im not re-typing) Ive seen my cousin and best friend with their addiction with heroin. My friend made it and is 15 yrs without heroin. My cousin died of a heroin OD 2 days after Christmas 04. I saw him struggle daily and he finally lost his battle and left behind 3 beautiful babies under 3. To watch someone you love die a little bit every day in front of your eyes is absolutly devastating. His Sgt. from bootcamp for the weekend warriors hooked him up the first time and for the next 15 yrs he battled and finally lost.
There are many drugs that become psychologically and physically devastating. I am opposed to them all, but I have a particularly strong hatred for heroin.

I smoke pot, I dont feel its a gateway drug unless you have an addictive personality. I did do coke, crank, acid, shrooms, and things I no longer remember doing, but I never stuck a needle in my veins and I was able to walk away when priorities called for it. I realize that is almost impossible for some and I truly feel for them. It just seemed so fucking cool to be trying something new for the first time, but we didnt have crack, X, heroin, and the designers drugs available to us in the day. I saw a lot of abuse of what we did have available to us an luckily was able to walk away fairly unscathed. I was one of the 'lucky' ones.
