It's Longer than Fifty years. I read "Down These Mean Streets" about a Puerto Rican youth growing up in East Harlem-back in the Forties. It had turned from a Jewish Tenement Slum into a Latino one by that time. He committed robberies to finance his habit. In the Late Fifties/Early Sixties, the problem Really got out of hand-especially in the NYC area. Burglaries and Muggings Skyrocketed...All for ONE Reason.

You’re naive if you think the US govt wants to stop drug use. Control it maybe, stop it absolutely not!! Just think about how many jobs wouldn’t exist if drugs weren’t available. 85% of inmates are in there because of drug use or selling drugs. Cops would have no work, judges, lawyers, court officers and everyone else who works for the Justice system in some way. Think about the amount of money and material things they seize every year from drug dealers!! Drugs are a huge part of the US economy. US spends billions on drugs every year, and that money goes right back into the economy. Most big dealers don’t save or invest lol.

@@drpoundsign "the story of drug trafficking" on netflix shows you its been around and a problem way before the USA even existed

To think that these streets and countless others across the U.S. we’re about to then burst at the seams with addiction within a few years? Sending kids across towards all the heroin they could take whilst being hosted by Vietnam…… A helpless & hopeless feeling shrouds me when I see or hear of such stories. I myself have an opioid addiction that I have been nursing now close on a decade, so sometimes watching things like this can really scare me, on the other hand, I’ve somehow discovered that when I’m going through withdrawals, I seem to watch a lot of mountaineering films, a lot of Whillans, Bonnington, Haston, etc etc……. It wasn’t a conscious thing to begin with lol. Dunno where I’m going with this haa! Now I’m rambling…………

You are a kind hearted person who speaks from personal experience. God bless you.

I have never touched drugs but I have met several heroin addicts when I worked in prison, and some heroin addicts in my personal life. In my opinion, heroin is one of the most evil inventions made by mankind.

Good work on your recovery🙏🙏

Fair play to you brother, I’m in Britain and we have a very serious problem with heroin over here now I live in the West Country of Britain and I’ve been a addict myself for many many years now and back in the early 1980s if you wanted junk you would have a go nearly a hundred miles into the city to buy that shit but now you only have to walk to end of the street now to score junk it’s got that bad over here now mate, I’m gonna be moving very soon hopefully out to the outskirts of my town because I’ve had enough now I really it’s something that takes just two minutes to get into and a lifetime to get away from you know but I’m just wondering what suboxone is, is it what we call over here in Britain subatex I think that’s how it’s spelt it’s only been around for just a few years now from Europe I think it’s from mate but I’m allergic to it when I was using them on script I was violently ill every time I used it so I’ve had to go on the next worst stuff methadone and I really do hate that shit, I don’t use heroin everyday and if I do have a dabble I don’t use methadone as well when I do , the Nazi scientists came up the green juice because hitler didn’t have enough morphine to give his troops on the battlefield so he ordered his scientists to come up with a substitute for it and they invented the methadone the bastards, they won the war after all by the looks of things, but in New York it was fat Tony Salerno stomping ground in Harlem and the Bonanno family in New York I’ve researched organised crime in America for 43 years now it’s really interesting stuff to research to be honest with you. But I really do wish you well with your recovery my friend I’m not one of those people who just because I struggle to get clean I always wish other people well they do get clean it’s great to see someone doing well it’s a very evil drug and they don’t call it the devils dust for nothing brother take care of yourself buddy from Stevie boy in Britain

@@tonythetiger1600 thank you for your kind words. Whatever strength you got use it to fight off this horrible drug call heroin

@@joecap4372 I did the almos the same exact thing. Used to live on the crazy side “organized crime”. I had a life changing encounter with God that changed my life. After a while, I didn’t want ANYTHING to do with that life or the women that came with it. Not judging them or anyone else but it just wasn’t for me. So I went solo. Too much trouble out there. Plenty of gorgeous women with empty heads and rotten hearts. Most smoked pot or did blow, watched porn or just into stuff I didnt want to be a part of anymore. So…. I waited. It wasn’t easy but as I’ve learned, Gods timing is always perfect and I’m glad I waited. He gave me a wonderful woman I wouldn’t trade for anything in the world. She loves God and me. She walks the walk. She’s drop dead gorgeous “ actually a former beauty Queen from Colombia”. I’m very grateful and can honestly say I’m very happy. I know God sent her to me. I had to do my part too “ stay away from the streets, have a clean heart - still working on it. Cheers

I understand that you made your comment a while ago, but I sure wish that the game was still played that way, no, the pharmaceutical companies weren't satisfied with dilaudid oxymorphone, they had to find a cheap powerful drug, the devil itself, fentanyl,the tipping point, don't take narcotics, if you are on them now try your damndest to get off, with that one drug the game is over, you can die at any point if you're playing, take care be safe, I'm off my soapbox people. Thanks for listening to this rant, hopefully it'll make folks think.

So true

Shouldn't even call it heroin. Just call it fentanyl lol.

Scary as hell. I couldn't do it in the comfort of my own home. It is literally Hell. Physically, Mentally torture. No sleep. No peace. I couldn't imagine being in jail kicking. I had to go back on the clinic recently and I hate that shit too. It's scary shit.

NYC dude interviewed said on average he had a $20/day habit. Today, he'd pay $15 for one mediocre pain pill that wouldn't even get him thru his morning. Fetty = cheap & deadly potent, yet not dope, but still wouldn't see him straight into the afternoon; that is, if he survived into the afternoon. Then there's fentanyl's psychotic effects users must contend with, in addition to its flesh-eating after-effects, taking an arm or leg here, another life there. America's "War on Drugs" has never cared for those in it's throes. It's still about politics and greed, not those in need.

You'd do a "one and one". One matchstick of boy, one of girl.

@@toddmorrissey8372 Heard gal once say speedballs waste of good dope, leaving one not knowing if coming or going & pretty much unable to do either. Came time where, no matter what one ordered, one & one was what one got. Must've been when up became cheaper than down. Annoying, costly days for specialists, half stash useless & resale value fraction of initial investment. Boom for Man tho, gitcha double-strung!

Facts. It’s probably worse now.

@@MOBFAX not worse super worse bro

Everything has changed in Seattle. It is LEGAL

A lot has change

During the Vietnam War heroin was produced in Southeast Asia. The CIA had rice farmers start growing poppy, and they even built an opium refinery there. The U.S. government is the biggest drug cartel in the world.

It’s not even heroin anymore, it’s fentynal from China.

Maybe the fields dried up. You can't rotate your crops when you've only got one crop.

@Sahin Ozturk through the East India company they took it over and used it for there nefarious ways

That's how they fund terrorism

I don’t know if bayer was involved in this. They patented some type of synthetic heroin but the French connection had their own labs. I assume they were making it without using legit companies. That would be more expensive and illegal. Maybe I’m wrong.

@@MOBFAX Do your research. Bayar were the first to produce heroin period. They were the first to be in 'The Business of Heroin', which happens to be the subject of the film.

There are still $3 bags in Newark, NJ USA. $5 bags are the norm in most urban drug spots in NYC and NJ, but now its all fentanyl mixed with a TINY BIT of heroin.

Man, that existed until the late 1990s. Once cell phones became more prevalent, that thinned it out somewhat. The LES in NYC was even more notorious than Harlem for heroin. And spots like Newark, NJ and Paterson NJ.... you'd pull up and your car would be SWARMED by dealers and theyd be literally dropping bags of dope in your lap trying to get the sale.

😂

Shit's on fire yo.

Yea an honor amongst theives
