I've been thinking, the past couple of days, about something different to blog about. I didn't really come up with anything until just now, when I was checking out google images for "meth users" photos. Yuck. I'm so glad meth wasn't around when I was in high school. Well, maybe it was and I just didn't know it. Either way---it never surfaced it's ugly face in my days and I'm thankful. I'll just leave it at that.
Meth, also known as Methamphetamine, is a highly addictive drug. Statistics show that 97% of users are addicted after only the first time using! I could post fact after fact but I'm not going to. Next time you have nothing better to do than search google images, type "meth users or meth before and after" in your search engine. It's amazing what that drug does to people.
Which, brings me to my next topic. In the past week (literally) I've been called out two times for drug overdoses. The first person was just 20 years old. The second kid was only 16. Both boys. In between those calls we had a 17 year old and a 28 year old, during the course of the same week, both dead from overdoses. Without going into details that I can't really divulge to the world, it appears both are prescription drugs. Cheap, easily accessible, quick high. Not that I'm promoting or even advocating for drug use, but what happened to just plain ol' mary jane?
...Guess she got hooked on meth too.
