Bambu was talking about human trafficking and they use drugs to control people, they give them free meth, or heroin, or cocaine, or whatever, and then they own the people.
My Uncle Dennis was a big strong man so they gave him free heroin so that they could have him as a friend. It was very hard to get him clean from heroin. Then, he ended up over-dosing and dying anyway, so sad. Drugs are horrible.
We need to teach our young people to avoid drugs, and the people who are giving you drugs are not your friends.
And addiction is a horrible monster.
With the fentanyl then one pill can kill a teenager. We need to teach the children young to avoid drugs. Europe has had success with education for the youth on the dangers of drug use. We need to teach the kids young to avoid drugs.
My Mother and my Grandmother taught me young, and they told me I could be a Star and I could live in a big house in Beverly Hills where the stars live, if I stay honest and if I work hard, etc. Then on the other hand I had Uncles who spent half their lives in prison and who were addicted to drugs, and they had horrible lives, my Grandmother used to take me to visit my Uncles in prison. So I could see how bad life is if you choose drugs and crime. There was a show called "Scared Straight" where they had guys who were doing life in prison teaching the young juvenile delinquents that they need avoid drugs and crime and the bad guys tried to scare the kids straight. I visited the prisons and I saw how bad they were, and I never wanted to go to prison.
So we can teach the youth that they have a choice, they can have a good life, and they can live with the other successful people, instead of spending their lives addicted to drugs and in prison where it is constant torment, the prisons are not nice places. Plus, one pill can kill a teen. We need to get the children to stay away from illegal drugs, and we need to get them to pursue honest goals that will enrich their lives.
Salute,
