  1. The drug problem will not go away as long as morons are buying and using the poison.
    And getting people to understand the danger these drugs are causing is failing.
    Letting people die when they overdosed might be the only alternative.
    Sounds cruel and heartless?
    Well, this is exactly what they are doing to their bodies, and braincells
    CRUELTY.
