Youth and Their Fascination for Drugs

CHICAGO, IL – Strange as it seems, an enormous portion of youth are seeking pleasure from an indulgence with new experimental drugs. Many of these new-found-drugs such as Lean and Kush, have been determined to play mental gymnastics on young men and women, and known to permanently destroy their mentalities. But today, let’s not focus on lean and Kush, while under the radar sneaking in is that Deadly Heroin. You must be warned that some users are left in a zombie state of mind!

A CBS Broadcast report stated that a heroin epidemic is hitting the suburbs and more people than a few people are dying. While heroin-related hospital admissions in Chicago are down, latest numbers show they are up by 200 percent in the suburbs.

In the same breath, I point out that stats note a large number of persons have moved from  Chicago South and Westside to establish new residence in the suburbs. As CBS 2’s Dave Savini reports, drug dealers could be operating right in your own neighborhood.

Young people hear about drugs, and are convinced by a passionate ‘friend’ to try the exciting drug with them. After the initial experience there is often no return.

Police outside of Chicago are zeroing in on dope dealers, and the number one target is heroin. While parents are observing their children for marijuana and crack, some have graduated to Lean, Kush and a hard dose of heroin.

A recent federal report states that  a startling 83 percent of men tested following their arrest in Cook County last year tested positive for at least one illegal drug, more than any of nine other major U.S. cities, according to the report released by U.S. Drug Czar Gil Kerlikowske.

Some law-enforcement officials believe that marijuana is a thing of the past. But one source said that  people forget that drugs are drugs! Also forgotten is the fact that more than a few thousands are serving serious time behind jail and or prison walls because of smoking or for handling marijuana. How do we ever rectify the use or misuse of the written law?

A state lawmaker predicts the legalization of recreational marijuana is inevitable and says the longer the delay, the more tax revenue cash-strapped Illinois will lose. This statement appears to be a major concern for ‘multi-dollars’ over the health-care of humans.

State Rep. Sara Feigenholtz, D-Chicago, posted on a social-media  page: “While Illinois if figuring out where to put dispensaries, Colorado is raking in $184 million dollars.” That’s a reference to tax revenues expected in Colorado where recreational marijuana has been legalized.

Bailey, president of Probation Challenge said, “We hasten to point out, where there is a ton of money involved, often you will find the law as an act of convince – but for whom becomes the question! And, a sometimes favorable disposition depending on the judge and how he or she interprets the law. In these Not-So-United States, it’s really about dollars and cents.”

We emphasize  that Joliet is in Illinois, and a stone’s throw from the ‘Murder Capitol of the United States, and their problem with, can in-fact be in Chi-Town over night!

In Joliet, it is reported that police moved in and arrested an alleged heroin dealer who is accused of selling 1.5 grams to an undercover officer for $200.  Joliet drug unit officials in this undercover operation seized millions of dollars’ worth of heroin.

We cannot over emphasize  that 53 people died from heroin in Will County.  With an increase of 212 percent in heroin-related deaths… would or should Chicago citizens expect this to soon explode into the bowels of South and East sides of the city?

One official said, “I think a lot of our society is unaware of our heroin epidemic, and the fact that one time can kill you is devastating.”
