Drug dealers destroy lives because of the violence they create not because they feed losers drug addictions.

All of sudden, white parents who raised loser kids are now blaming drug dealers for their ******* kids.
Yes. Obesity and diabetes from poor diets kills. Not to mention alcohol or cigarette related deaths.

As for how drugs kill people and why people die from drugs, look at this forum. The Trump supporters here give endless excuses for their poor situation and everything according to them is falling apart. If things are that grim, obviously suicide is an option and addiction is often a deliberate form of slow suicide (overdosing is often a bit more deliberate).

Who said anybody was destitute? This coming from someone living in the slums of Harlem.

I suspect that he is a male as females generally adjust better to difference. Maybe its the patriarchal system where men are in charge so don't adjust whereas women must always be flexible as they enter different environments.

Hmmm. This being an area going through gentrification and I suspect that NYWriter is part of this process.

Trump supporters blame blacks for addiction to crack and scream about it as if its a major epidemic, but the "poor" opioid addicts are part of the tragedy of America where minorities and foreigners make life so hard for "real" Americans that they are forced to commit slow (or not so slow) suicide through drug addiction.

Look at how Dominicans are now to blame for opioid addiction. I get it too much bachata and reggaeton can drive a "real" American to the heroin needle.

That forum consists of Dominican elites and white expats. Neither of whom have any real respect for the DR or for Dominicans themselves.

Look at that loser NJ governor who wanted to blast a hole in the NJ budget because a few of his college buddies are drug addicts. This is the same man who wanted to destroy lives over a few twigs of weed in some one's pocket. clearly for personal use.

Because the whole attitude to drug addiction changed when suddenly it was realized that it is now a white issue. In the 80s when it was perceived not to be a white issue every one, dealer and user, were arrested.

Let us be fair. Arrest all of those white opioid addicts for possession and destroy their lives with a criminal sentence. THAT will show that it isn't a "white" issue!

As someone who attended the most prestigious university in NYC, which is in Harlem. Why would I not want to live within walking distance to my classes? I'm sorry you don't have a good education or professional opportunities.

When I can, I'll buy here as well. Good long term investment.

Some of these posters are opiate addicts themselves. How can they advocate for their own arrest?
