Mexico to Trump: No funding for wall, but we’ll help Texas: Trump's tweets aren't swaying the country, but Mexican officials said they are prepared to help those impacted by Harvey.

Once upon a time I use to sell drugs. I'd get it straight from the cartel. They dropped off maybe 200 lbs of regular weed and 11lbs of chronic/loud. My partner in crime wanted to sell heroin also.

Well you know those laptop bags? Well that's what it came in, the thing is it wasn't full of heroin or even a lot of it. It was where the foam goes between the fabric, in a duct tape package. Not wanting to deal with that shit I don't know exactly how much was in there. My guess is that it was maybe like a quarter of an ounce.

My friend's mom said she had some back pain and has been on methadone since. My ex, born with heroin in her system ONLY gets prescribed opiods for pain. Proudly stands against medical marijuana because "people just use it to get high".

With that being said I agree that combatting the supply is useless they'll find a way. Keeping doctors from just prescribing opiods to any and everyone with some pain will help a lot more by not introducing the drug to them in the first place.
