I'm conflicted.
Drug dependency is no joke.
Drug addiction is not funny.
In addition to the incredible financial profit associated with drug traffic, narcotics are also used for social control. Time and again it is revealed that illegal substances are funneled directly to black populations in the United States. It has been documented that African-American neighborhoods were the targeted destination of highly addictive DRUGS, often in response to increased community consciousness, militancy or rebellion. I'm just saying...
What IS funny to me (not funny Ha-Ha, but in a WTF? kind of way) is the recent almost weekly hue and cry over the uptick in drug overdoses in suburban areas, so called "good neighborhoods" or among the "well educated". Countless families have one if not two generations suffering repercussions of draconian drug possession / use laws. Why now the call for a "more sensible" response to addiction and decriminalization? I'm not saying, I'm just saying...
When it comes to drugs there is more than susceptibility at play. There is design and discrimination regarding penalties. There is intention with distribution and proliferation.
There is a method to the madness.
It's no laughing matter.

Being I seem to be an addictive type, I'm so glad I never tried heroin.
