It's Not Just White People: Heroin Overdose Deaths Have Tripled Among African-Americans

[Mrfreddygoodbud]

you are misleading yourself if you think young blacks aren't using heroin. they never stopped .

blacks even using meth which was unheard of you years.

but don't worry about it because this and the war on drugs or the giving of us jail time isn't important because we don't make it important.

now back to the issues.

you are delusional if you think young blacks fuck with heroin..

I aint sayin you aint gonna find some sprinkled aobut.. but thats like the same amount of young melanin rich folks that listen to death metal...

it exist but its not in epidemic proportions..

fuckin these young cacs are gotdam experts with fuckin drug usage, they got that bitch down to a science..

NOW alcoholism and fuckin with that lean...yea,

I aint saying there arent any melanin rich meth heads and or heroin addicts, Im sayin heroin is NOT an epidemic with our youth..

especially not in NYC.... they aint fuckin with no needles like that...

if you can put it in a blunt then thats another story!!

that whole meth shit is just straight up karma for the cia and govt just putting crack in our communities...

they made their own crack and dont need any plants for south america to make it, they could just walk to their local supermarket or drug store...

the authorities are fuckin helpless tryin to stop it...

thats why I know everytime they fuck with the God race something always comes back to them ten fold...

its just never televised!!!

 

[Mrfreddygoodbud]

The only places I ever have worked that didn't require drug testing was in the trading/hedge fund, financial areas.

They know good and damn well if they drug tested the talent pool shrinks.

but they be on that oxycontin heavy tho..

only hollywood execs has them beat...

Why is it, almost all the blue states have sum forum of legalized cannabis?? Medical or recreational

Every state that's legalized weed so far (Washington, Oregon, Alaska, Colorado) is almost completely white. NORML activists and the like don't give two shits about Black people, even though they see the worst end of the drug war.

[phanatic]

Portugal has been proving since 2001 that the drug war is bullshit. Decriminalize this shit and be done with it. People also think that all addicts are not functional. Shit, most drug users are able to work and do other things. A lot of myths have kept prohibition going.

There's a lot of legal and illegal drugs moving through hospitals and Wall Street. Every nurse I know smokes weed, I know a veterinarian that gets down on booger sugar...and we all know about Jordan Belfort.

That's not true!! I was born and raised in Colorado and the east side of Denver is black!! By the way 26 states have sum form of legalize cannabis!! This year 2016, we should see Fla come online with medical and Cali will come online with recreational!! After those 2 states come online, it's a done deal!!!

Are you a member with NORmL?? Or any other organizations??

 

[D Town Redd]

The solution is simple.......



Lower the price so addicts don't jack folk to get high

Get it out in the open so it can be TREATED

The more you keep it UNDERGROUND, the more it will GROW

Don't just legalize weed.... Legalize everything. PROHIBITION DID NOT WORK, ISN'T WORKING, WILL CONTINUE NOT TO WORK

[(0_0)..l.. finger]

young "blacks" are NOT fuckin with heroin..

young cacs are..

thats the problem...!!

and thats why there is intervention for them...

and NOT jail time..

and they are still giving young "blacks" a hard time for weed as if its as toxic as heroin....

system is just all kinds of fucked up...

which is why nature is cleansing itself of this cancer...

all the chemtrails sprayin in the world wont deter their destiny..

This is not true and unless you are patrolling the hood, you have no idea how bad it is...

 

[ankhheru]

This is no true and unless you are patrolling the hood, you have no idea how bad it is...

I live in the hood. I also got family that sold heroin since I was a kid. I got family that sell fentanyl. I got family that sell weed. I got family that sell crack. I run white people from in front of my house for waiting to buy heroin from somebody that will pull up in a car to sell. I had heroin houses shut down across the street from my house. Two of them. Do you know what they all have got in common? The customers are white people. Broke white people and white people from the suburbs. The police know it. I had a cop tell me so when my neighbor and her grandbaby got shot three months ago. Her grandson sold heroin. I was born in 1971. I had to watch needles in order to play in my own apartment parking lot. I was raised in a heroin infested neighborhood so I know we got black fiends. HOWEVER the black fiends have been constant. Most are junkies that work everyday. They been doing it for years. Very rarely do you find a young black heroin addict. I ain't saying they don't get hooked but the face of the epidemic is not us. It's white people. My brother was a heroin fiends. When I was born he didn't know for two days because he was so high. This was back in the 70's. In the mid 80's when crack hit my people selling heroin dam near went broke. They stayed on top because of the old heads who did heroin. Before whites got on heroin it was a select clientele who did heroin. And most didn't overdose. That overdose shit came from fentanyl.

Almost every major city has black neighborhoods, but Colorado state as a whole is only 4% black. Alaska is 3%, Oregon 2%, Washington 4%. That makes me wonder, who was recreational marijuana really legalized for?

California, a state which seems to have the loosest definition of "medical" marijuana is an exception, but even there proposition 215, the measure that made medical weed legal was pushed by white gay men dying of AIDS. Nobody gave a fuck about black men who lost their whole future over a dime bag. Getting them off the hook was just an unintended consequence of keeping the gays happy.

In Canada I was also a member of the BC Marijuana Party. I broke away when I realized that founder Marc Emery was a racist. I had recorded a rap song about legalization called "Roll Your Spliff". It gained positive attention of some writers of Cannabis Culture magazine who wanted to do a review of it. Emery, who was also the magazine's editor, refused saying it sounded "too black". I later learned he rufused to put Michael Faranti from Spearhead on the cover for the same reason. The magazine had also featured articles advising head shop owners to keep an eye on "hip hop types" because shoplifting is a part of their culture.

If there was a Black run marijuana legalization movement I would get on board, but until that happens fuck it. NORML can kiss my ass.

Fam anybody that has lived in, visited or has family in Baltimore, MD knows that heroin addiction knows no race. Only thing all the users have in common for the most part is poverty.

Heroin addiction makes crack look like childs play.

[Southpaw]

Math don't add up. Both black and white had about the same about of heroine users in 2000 1.1 per 100,000, black users increased by 213% to 2.3 per 100,000 and white users increased by 267% to 4.5 per 100,00

Alcohol prohibition made Chicago a gangster haven. I don't know why people assume Chicago was a utopia before niggas started shooting each other. Convenient history starting points are what cac media is founded on.

Niggas using meth?? Like how many? 100 in the whole country? They all must be random Black folks that live out in white trash vill.

Hmm,,, Blacks are using meth!! Don't believe what you see on state run media!!

Hmm,,, Blacks are using meth!! Don't believe what you see on state run media!!

Negro, I dont give a shit what I see on tv. I go by what I see in real life. Never even heard of a nigga selling meth, let alone using it. Im sure there are Black people using it. But I doubt in the masses like cacs.
Now heroin, I know everybody does that. I had a guy that use to sell that shit years ago. He some how got hooked on it. Claimed when he was bagging it up, it got in his skin.
This nigga went from rolling in a caddy truck on 24's, to walking around with hypes in the middle of the night breaking into garages. That shit is a helleva drug

 

[bgbtylvr]

More black dope boys need to sell heroin then. Right in the white areas. Turn them trailers into New Jack City. Lmao!

I really hate bullshit ass responses like this. I'm speaking from my first hand experience w/ppl on both sides of the situation (users, dealers, cops) in a community I'm familiar with, Bmore.

Most the heroin addicts in Bmore are somewhere between homeless and working poor

In a city of 645,000, the Baltimore Department of Health estimates there are 60,000 drug addicts, with as many as 48,000 of them hooked on heroin. A federal report released last month puts the number of heroin addicts alone at 60,000.​
