a slice of two of pizza (depending) is usually little more than a slightly unhealthy normal meal

but then the issue is people eating whole pizzas, which can go up to 3000+ calories easily

Isis Pharamaceuticals was a company that changed its name to Ionis Pharmaceuticals for obvious reasons. If they were smart Isis or some offshoot would issue a press release that their new name was Ionis.

During the debate my parents asked me where this "heroin epidemic" had come from since they remember heroin as something from the 80's. The answer is quite literally "white people":


http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2015/10/30/us/31heroin-deaths.html

quote:

Heroin-related deaths jumped 39 percent from 2012 to 2013, and the longer-term trends are equally disturbing: from 2002 to 2013, the rate of heroin-related overdose deaths nearly quadrupled, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Researchers have found that prior to the 1980s, whites and nonwhites were equally represented among first-time heroin users. But that’s changed as heroin use has expanded across other parts of the country.

Now, nearly 90 percent of the people who tried heroin for the first time in the past decade were white. And a growing number are middle-class or wealthy.


In a July report, the CDC found “significant increases in heroin use were found in groups with historically low rates of heroin use, including women and people with private insurance and higher incomes. The gaps between men and women, low and higher incomes, and people with Medicaid and private insurance have narrowed in the past decade.”
Now that Heroin affects middle class white people, it's suddenly an epidemic and we need to take a look at our drug laws and throwing people in jail for shitloads of time.

This also explains why we hadn't heard poo poo about it here in Texas, Heroin and Opiates are a northeast/Appalachia thing. (Plus Illinois, I'm assuming because of Chicago.)

It's mostly pill-addicts going to heroin, as doctors have semi-stopped handing out opiate scrips like idiots, so pills are harder to find/super-expensive.

Well yeah, but we hadn't expected the answer to be so drat blatant: "Now, nearly 90 percent of the people who tried heroin for the first time in the past decade were white. And a growing number are middle-class or wealthy."

No giant hunting and searching for the answer, just pause the debate for 5 minutes to find a map and that story.


It's like gently caress, so apparently we just need to get even more middle class white people hooked on drugs to fix our broken drugs laws.

It's because, thanks to Afghanistan, the poo poo is dirt cheap. You can get Heroin cheaper than you can get weed in some places, it's insane.

That's a big part of it too.

My mother is an RN for a hospice care company, and she said it's super depressing how often she has to tell people that if she comes back one more time and pills are missing she's going to have to turn them in; which she doesn't like to do because it usually only ends up hurting the person dying who needs the pain medications and not their poo poo heel children/grandchildren.
