Remember those old commercials from the hypocrites at the "Partnership for a Drug Free America" (a group that was, at least back in the day, funded partially by tobacco, alcohol, and pharmaceutical companies) that said: "No one ever says, 'I want to be a junkie when I grow up'?" Seems like maybe some people do say that. Maybe if we point and laugh we can make it clearer to kids that (absent a good medical reason) putting opiates into your body is a dumbass thing to do.
(And if you think this is only an inner city problem, I live in a nice suburb of Bmore and I've still had a guy leaning out on my sidewalk. It'll come to you too, if we don't get serous about treating drug addition as a health issue rather than this macho bullshit "War on Drugs".)

This blog comes out of Baltimore, MD and is a real depiction of heroin addicts wandering city streets in a wacked-out, semi-conscious state. My wife and I were always amazed at the ability of these malnourished zombies to somehow stay vertical in ways that are both gravity defying and mind boggling.
