sad. when you're hooked on opiates, nothing else matters. every day is devoted to finding a way to feel normal again. to get just enough money to get a bag, to find a place to use, to just stay afloat.

everything mentioned in the arrest, everything about the fucked up car, the license plate, the erratic driving, the hiding things inside her, everything -- it all can wait. she's just trying to get through the day and keep the shakes away.

i hope they give her subs in jail. and i hope florida has some sort of door-to-door program so she can detox in a medical facility instead of a jail. it's fucking insane that addiction is a crime.

Florida is full of NAMBY's so door to door or a nearby methadone clinic is unlikely. Rehab is for the rich in the US. She'll be in and out of prison/jail till she overdoses or kills someone while high.

Well I'm not sure about what programs they have for prisoners but Florida is pretty much the Rehab Capital of the USA. It's got rehabs on every corner, I think possibly the highest number in the nation?

Methadone clinic is definitely NOT what we'd wanna be sending someone to... need an in-patient facility. But like I said those are a dime a dozen in FL.

Prison rehab is vomiting on the floor while having seizures. Poor people don't get help.

Upon activating my emergency lights and sirens, the vehicle tapped on its brakes several times, but it continued to proceed without stopping for approximately 30 seconds, despite having several safe, lit areas to pull over

Fucking cops just like to make up absolute bullshit to justify their stops and searches sometimes.

Especially when people use cop cosplay to commit crimes

There have been a couple of documentaries on HBO over the decades where they embed with opiate addicts. (Black Tar Heroin: The Dark End of the Street)[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0221023/] in 2000, and (The Crime of the Century)[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14055432/]. In the first, a guy talks about how he'll spend an hour searching for a vein before shooting up into his dick. In the second, a young mother looks wistful as she recounts her former drug use. She disappeared, abandoning her kids, the next day and OD'd shortly after.

I say we show documentaries like these to kids in school. The fucking DARE program made me believe that all drugs were equally terrible. Then I tried pot and realized I'd been lied to. All kinds of other drugs followed.

Crime of the Century is excellent. It's a perfect blend of heavy addiction stories, medical malpractice and white collar crime mystery.

This is a great way to show how successful the “war of drugs” was

[–] Tja@programming.dev 21 points 2 days ago

It was very successful: for drugs, for dealers, for private prisons,...

Drugs is a helluva drug

She seems fun.
