More than ever, drug use is Russian Roulette.

The thing about Russian roulette is that it's one bullet and 5 empty chambers. It feels these days like it's more like the opposite ratio when it comes to drugs.

Nobody talks about socio-economic and mental health issues as absolute.  Strong-evidence is about as good as you'll get, and this ain't it.  

No, what we're doing here is addressing how lazy metaphors hurt your point, rather than help it.  Comparing wildly varying human behavior to the immutable laws of physics is about as lame as metaphors get.  

 

That's it? That's all you've got left? Sad little distractions attempting to pick at meaningless details in a child like fashion?

 

OK. Whatever floats your boat. I guess that's one way of admitting that you weren't right but are having trouble coping with it.

Yes, here we go again - You telling us what we're thinking and how we're feeling...because that actually is all you have here.  ?

All that's needed to mop up what's left of your self esteem and ego? Well there you go

And what do you mean what "We" are thinking  - do you mean you AND the voices in your head?

In any case it's pretty easy to observe your actions and comment. It's like when a baby's crying, most of the time it's hungry or its' pooped itself.  Only wiht you it's even easier - you're not hungry.

On the topic of ego, what are these blustering performances of yours, other than your sad way of trying to find validation for yours?  ?

Some more proof of what's happening with the "safe supply",  Addicts take the 'safe'  Drugs and sell them to kids. Who then wind up getting bad drugs and OD'ing

 

Cassidy described how the drug dealers would persuade her into thinking that hydromorphone was safe to use.

“They tell you that there's nothing bad in them, that they’re clean drugs that won’t kill you or harm you in any way, that they’re 100 per cent dilly,” she explained. “They say that they have, like, a guy that goes in the store and gets it for them and then brings it out.”

Whenever Cassidy got a craving, she would message drug dealers on social media apps, such as Instagram and Snapchat, or take transit to the Downtown Eastside, she said.

She explained a pill costs $5 but they're cheaper in the DTES.

“I’ve gone down there (the DTES) and like I've had like homeless people call out to me and ask if I want dillys,” she said.

“It’s actually kind of crazy that it is that easy and they don’t care that you’re a kid and you could die.”
