Last weekend the news came that a girl I went to high school with was found dead in her condo. Jenny was the owner of a hip little breakfast spot by the beach. She had struggled with drugs for a long time and had her three children taken from her while the dad had full custody. The last three or four years had been huge for her as she had started to clean her life up, opened up her own business and was making leaps and bounds in gaining the respect of her family and friends. The restaurant had good food too and she was on a first name basis with most of her patrons.
The sad news came on Mother's Day when police found her, another woman and a man (all friends, same age) All three were dead from an obvious heroin overdose. Probably a "bad batch" as they call it. So fucking sad, everyone thought she was clean, but knew she was struggling to pay the overhead at her business. Apparently the neighbors in the area were aware of who the dealer is since they've seen him around the neighborhood hanging out at shady hours. This time the neighbors took action and when they saw him they chased him, cornered him in an alley, and proceeded to beat the shit out of him before calling the cops.
Heroin is alive and well here in North County San Diego and it's a fucked up drug. I read about other places in the nation where heroin epidemics are happening and think maybe poverty and gang activity is rampant there. You wouldn't think about these things if you cruised our beach town on any given weekend, but man beneath the surface there is a dark, dark side and this shit is killing young people all the time. In the last year I have known two people to die from a Heroin OD and I know one guy that's currently addicted. Mind you I have been out of the party scene and even drinking scene for about six years now.
- Heroin destroyed an entire generation in 80's in my country, everything i read about this opioid epidemic in US, remembers those times... sad timesOBBTKN
- Obviously authorities are not doing their best on this, people need to wake from this nightmare and stop the massive and cheap access to the drugOBBTKN
- Probably the politicians is not going to do it for themOBBTKN
