Opioid Addicts: the Other White Meat*, by Dylan Van Keef

Where were the designated crack smoking zones and free clean pipes in the 1980s? America sure is soft on white crime.

That being said, we should be tackling this issue with methods other than locking up drug users. But our prisons are full of men from the Crack War…hmmmm.

Maybe the war on crack wasn’t really about drugs, and the laws to give crack users 10x harder sentences was just a tool to dissapear a generation of black men forever.

Imagine if people caught with dirty needles we’re given 20 years and tanks were knocking down doors to find them in predominately white neighborhoods.

Imagine if every time you had the flu, doctors prescribed you cocaine.

Just some thoughts on how the twisted reality of Big Pharma and the prison system really is, as profit centers demanding growth instead of health. One way or another, we are both the consumer and the product. If prisons and pharmaceutical companies were the cure they would be shrinking with pride.

Solving an issue is not decline. Growth of a problem is. We must ask what companies are addicted to.
