The opioid problem is a two way battle. On the one hand you have the illegal drug heroin and it's weird deadly derivatives and these nightmares find their way into the hands of young people. On the other hand you have the legal painkillers which Carolina alluded to which are a godsend to people who are suffering unbearable pain. High powered Tylenol even with Codeine is often not strong enough to curb this kind of pain so doctors prescribe the opiates although I tend to think the more natural opiates are a bit safer than the synthetic type but that is not the main story line. When opiates are prescribed doctors should monitor their patients and at the first sign that a less powerful painkiller drug ( or no painkillers at all) can be substituted they should jump right on it. It goes without saying that opiate prescriptions should be doled out in small amounts and that only the doctor can approve refills if necessary. They can also get someone off the hook gradually by lowering the dosage over time as well. The AMA should tighten up these guidelines so doctors don't hand this stuff out like candy and that constant monitoring is required. Burt Reynolds for example became severely drug addicted after his jaw was broken.
I think with better diligence and monitoring painkiller abuse can be cut down in a significant manner. The illegal stuff is a whole other nut to crack and much more difficult to curb and control. It goes without saying that with heroin the most important and essential way of stopping the abuse is simple--kids should NEVER TRY IT. EVER. This requires parents and even schools to be on the lookout for signals. Parents should watch and react quickly if they think their child is hanging out with the "wrong crowd." Many in the media may scoff at this idea but there is a much greater burden today growing up white. When I was born it was not an issue at all but today it is an issue.
Certain strains of medical MJ take away severe pain within seconds after being inhaled. These are also sold in edibles from cookies to gummi bears to jello pops, etc. A friend of mine had surgery for bone cancer a few months back and they basically took out his entire upper arm bone just above the elbow and replaced it with a titanium rod all the way up into his shoulder, including the ball that goes into his shoulder joint. He was given a 30-day supply of Oxycontin which did help some, but his medical MJ took the pain entirely away just ten seconds after inhaling it.

I'll take cannabis over pharmaceuticals any day(CBD oils for seizures and cancer THC helps with nausea and pain relief in cancer patients), not to mention what could be done in construction business If hemp were legalized as it is in over 30 other countries.

They say 90% of heroin in this country is being smuggled in from Sinaloa Cartel in Mexico. As werewolf stated too bad Trumps being a puppet for Israhell and busy starting WW3 instead of making "Mexico pay for that wall."

PS Elephant Tranquilizer!!? If it's strong enough to put a 2 ton animal on its ass it's obviously not for human consumption. Common sense ain't so common anymore. Just shows the lengths opioid users will go to get their deadly high.

While the news waves groan with stories about “America’s Opioid Epidemic” you may discern that there is little effort to actually understand what’s behind it, namely, the fact that life in the United States has become unspeakably depressing, empty, and purposeless for a large class of citizens. I mean unspeakablyliterally. If you want evidence of our inability to construct a coherent story about what’s happening in this country, there it is.

I live in a corner of Flyover Red America where you can easily read these conditions on the landscape — the vacant Main Streets, especially after dark, the houses uncared for and decrepitating year by year, the derelict farms with barns falling down, harvesters rusting in the rain, and pastures overgrown with sumacs, the parasitical national chain stores like tumors at the edge of every town.

You can read it in the bodies of the people in the new town square, i.e. the supermarket: people prematurely old, fattened and sickened by bad food made to look and taste irresistible to con those sunk in despair, a deadly consolation for lives otherwise filled by empty hours, trash television, addictive computer games, and their own family melodramas concocted to give some narrative meaning to lives otherwise bereft of event or effort.

These are people who have suffered their economic and social roles in life to be stolen from them. They do not work at things that matter. They have no prospects for a better life — and, anyway, the sheer notion of that has been reduced to absurd fantasies of Kardashian luxury, i.e. maximum comfort with no purpose other than to enable self-dramatization. And nothing dramatizes a desperate life like a drug habit. It concentrates the mind, as Samuel Johnson once remarked, like waiting to be hanged.

On display in the news reports about the mystery of the opioid epidemic is America’s neurotic reliance on supposedly scientific “studies.” Never before in history has a society studied so much and learned so little — which is what happens when you resort to scientizing things that are essentially matters of conduct. It rests on the fallacy that if you compile enough statistics about something, you can control it.

Opioid addiction is just another racket, a personal one, in a culture of racketeering that is edging toward truly epochal failure, for the simple reason that rackets are dishonest, and pervasive dishonesty is at odds with reality, and reality always has the final say.

The eerie thing about reading the landscape of despair is that you can see the ghosts of purpose and meaning in it. Before 1970, there were at least five factories in my little town, all designed originally to run on the water power (or hydro-electric) of the Battenkill River, a tributary of the nearby Hudson. The ruins of these enterprises are still there, the red brick walls with the roofs caved in, the twisted chain-link fence that no longer has anything to protect, the broken masonry mill-races.

The ghosts of commerce are also plainly visible in the bones of Main Street. These were businesses owned by people who lived in town, who employed other people who lived in town, who often bought and sold things grown or made in and around town. Every level of this activity occupied people and gave purpose and meaning to their lives, even if the work associated with it was sometimes hard. Altogether, it formed a rich network of interdependence, of networked human lives and family histories.

What galls me is how casually the country accepts the forces that it has enabled to wreck these relationships. None of the news reports or “studies” done about opioid addiction will challenge or even mention the deadly logic of Wal Mart and operations like it that systematically destroyed local retail economies (and the lives entailed in them.) The news media would have you believe that we still value “bargain shopping” above all other social dynamics. In the end, we don’t know what we’re talking about.

I’ve maintained for many years that it will probably require the collapse of the current arrangements for the nation to reacquire a reality-based sense of purpose and meaning. I’m kind of glad to see national chain retail failing, one less major bad thing in American life. Trump was just a crude symptom of the sore-beset public’s longing for a new disposition of things. He’ll be swept away in the collapse of the rackets, including the real estate racket that he built his career on. Once the collapse gets underway in earnest, starting with the most toxic racket of all, contemporary finance, there will be a lot to do. The day may dawn in America when people are too busy to resort to opioids, and actually derive some satisfaction from the busy-ness that occupies them.

The article below speaks to an "alarming trend" in suicidal kids. I'd largely attribute this to a few factors. First, the nanny state in government schools that creates this faux "self entitlement" in kids (i.e. - trophies for everyone...not just the winners/1st place). Secondly, this long standing, deceptive fallacy of "you can do anything in life if you just set your mind to it/work hard enough). That is (without question) one of the biggest lies ever told in the history of humanity (bar none). These kids should be given the advise/mantra conveyed by Inspector "Dirty" Harry Callahan in 'Magnum Force'....a man has got to know his limitations. ;)

Seriously, kids need to be firmly grounded in reality and not fed a bunch of pie in the sky, pipe dreams. They need to be told early on that life is not only unfair but (also) cold and callous. Far too many modern parents want to leave the proverbial "diapers" on their kids. They're not doing their children any justice by diluting their sense of reality. :hmmm: :shakehead:

Recently in my area a young white teenaged boy used his dad's service pistol to commit suicide from school bullying or some other rot. All I can say is that going to an American mega suburban school must suck royally. We were pretty up front with our kid especially me about what was or is BS and what to agree with or ignore as "authority."

"Political Hospice" is "Way Forward" for White Working Class People, says WaPo columnist:

“Economic dislocation and demographic changes are fueling discomfort and desperation among white working-class voters,”
wrote WashPo columnist and editorial board member Jonathan Capehart, continuing:

While [university professor and author] Justin Gest says that both Republicans and Democrats have exploited these voters, he sees a way forward.

“The
only way of addressing their plight is a form of political hospice care,” [Gest] said. “These are communities that are on the paths to death. And the question is: How can we make that as comfortable as possible?

Some background on Jonathan Capehart:
In May 2016 Jonathan Capehart became engaged to his boyfriend of over five years Nick Schmit, Assistant Chief of Protocol at the State Department. On January 7, 2017, Capehart and Schmit were married by former U.S. attorney general Eric Holder.

Conversely, this is a list of the top States where the pharmaceutical drug pushers have the most marketing success. Not really a surprise. I know of more than too many -mostly women- who have no problem going to a doctor, getting a prescription, buying, and taking something they know nothing about. These same think they can balance the effects with broccoli. What a bunch of bozos!

These could have gone in the already massive crime thread but thought they fit in nicely here as well.

Even Indy has a dindu problem.. No major city is safe!

Americans working past 70 & can't seem to retire. I largely attribute this to the copious amount of debt accrued & folks living (far) beyond their means (for decades).

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-07-10/working-past-70-americans-can-t-seem-to-retire

From my experience those that I see working past 70 are doing it because they are fit enough and like it or the crappy State "benefits" are too low to cover their cost of living so they'd rather work that live out of cans. Where I come from, no one really retires and stops working they just do less and do what they can. Other than mortgages, we take no debt. Period. They just keep on keepin' on. A 95 year old father can still cut grass, pick onions and berries, and fish a nice bass; while a 95 year old grandma still bakes pies, cooks meals, babysits great/grand children. When families stay close and work collectively, none are poor and desperate in this country.

I really noticed a change in the early 1990s. Music went from fun and carefree in the 80s to grungy, depressing, and glorifying self-hatred and misery. And gangster rap and Eminem exploded onto the scene being heavily pushed to teenagers on MTV and all the other Jew media outlets. I grew up on top 40 countdowns in the 80s with decent music and then to have Eminem crap music and wrist-slitting grunge thrown in my face constantly in the early 90s everywhere I went was extremely depressing to me personally and to society in general. I now believe this transition was done on purpose by the powers that be. Popular music has never recovered and the communist left have become more and more emboldened in their anti-white hatred. I also distinctly remember a cover of Time magazine in the 90s where they proudly proclaimed the browning of America and decline of the white race, and it was reported with such glee and hopefulness for speedy fulfillment. Women have been brainwashed with feminism designed to make them hate men, yet it is the cause of their unhappiness in that they lead unfulfilling, childless, hate-filled lives.
