Addictive, Dangerous, Deadly

Sooner or later it had to happen. A new menace had to start in California along with all the other menaces in progress. CALTRANS is a super menace. It adds to the Orange County traffic nightmare. Streets are closed off and left that way for weeks and months. And when work is being done, one man works while three other men stand around and watch. The Hollywood organization is a big menace to proper living and morality. Illegal immigrants flock to Orange County. Now, the new menace that is hitting families and public schools is a very dangerous and deadly one as it gains momentum among teenagers and very young adults: heroin addiction!

Teen heroin addiction as of July, 2011, has an increasing grip on Southern California's teens and young people. It has dramatically increased since 2007. It is wrecking lives and causing many deaths. The recent death total is over 80 teenagers and young adults. One boy was only 14 and a girl was 16. A high school six-teen-year-old freshman was caught ballooning heroin. He had dozens of small colored balloons filled with heroin ready to sell. Easy money and easy access is making heroin the new drug of choice for the 14 to 24 age group. Heroin is a secretive world, but access is easy due to smart phones and texting. Heroin victims include males and females. Most deaths are accidental, but some are suicides.

Where does the heroin come from? Afghanistan and Mexico are the primary growers. Heroin enters the U.S. through Canada and Mexico, with Mexico being the biggest supplier. The U.S. is the big heroin haven for Mexico's drug cartels. It is an ongoing epidemic and a most serious problem. Heroin is very addictive and a very deadly drug. Just ask the parents of the 80 teenagers and young adults who accidently died or committed suicide since 2007. The parents will tell you through their tears it is an absolute fact.

Parents, please school your children on the subject of heroin addiction and all the dangers involved. It is very addictive, it is very dangerous, it is very deadly, and it very definitely ruins careers and family lives: young and old.
