I had a cousin lose a son to a heroin overdoes in an upscale suburb of Toronto. A friend from university had to do an intervention for his son who had discovered fentanyl and almost died, he's in recovery now.

The legalization of all drugs is more complicated than many thought including me.
But that's not an issue here, cos we've been properly battering smack since before the First Opium War. Colleridge, Austen etc never got clean.

And no self-respecting British junkie's gonna do Fentanyl or whatever it's called cos it won't run on the foil or taste right in the veins like proper British smack does.

If we're gonna compare apples with oranges, I could point out that the one area of India with no smack issue is the Himachal region where everyone is smoking the top (Manali charas style) hash that grows there.

If India isn't relevant to us,neither is N. Am.
