Mexican Drug Cartels Fuel Heroin Addiction in North Carolina
Cities such as Charlotte, North Carolina are feeling the effects of the rapidly expanding Mexican drug distribution networks. The cartels are working hard to ensure that there is a massive increase of drugs on the streets of Charlotte – particularly black tar heroin. As odd as it might seem to North Carolina citizens, Charlotte has become the main distribution hub for black tar heroin sent to the United States from Mexico. Since 2001 there has been a 244% increase.
Unfortunately, according to law enforcement, the majority of those affected by this infestation are high school students. Many, but not enough are finding their way to North Carolina drug rehabs.
The United State Justice Department released a situation report in April stating that these Mexican drug Cartels pose an extremely great threat to America. The cartels are operating in 195 U.S. cites and officials are expecting a rise in violence as these cartels become stronger and bring in more drugs.
The “War on Drugs” has become a bit of a cliché, but there really is a drug war and the POWs are American citizens, many of them children.
We must first free the citizens who have been trapped in heroin addiction through effective drug treatment, such as Narconon.
We must also reduce the demand through effective drug education.
There are solutions to hand – workable treatment programs and drug education that has been proven to be effective.
North Carolina citizens must simply care enough to demand workable solutions that keep in mind, first and foremost the well being of its citizens in mind.
Narconon of Georgia Drug Rehabilitation, founded in 2001 is a non-traditional drug treatment program. The program offers a non 12 step long term drug treatment for alcoholism, drug addiction, substance abuse and chemical dependency for women and men. Narconon addresses cravings through a Sauna and Exercise Detoxification Program. Life Skills Training helps to prevent relapse with resultant 76% success rate.
Heroin Addiction: INVISIBLE Part 2/6
The bulgarian film INVISIBLE, part 2/6; “Invisible” a documentary by Konstantin Bojanov. After the crumbling of the Soviet empire, heroin flooded the streets of many cities behind the former Iron Curtain. Heroin offered an alternative lifestyle largely unknown until then. In the late 1990s heroin addiction in Eastern Europe had reached epidemic proportions. Invisible takes place in Sofia, Bulgaria and follows a group of six young people on a three year journey through the highs and lows, dreams and tribulations of living with heroin addiction. The story bypasses the social problems and dynamics associated with addiction and focuses on the existential views and philosophies of the participants. The film provides a platform for their ideas and concepts of the world surrounding them. The participants represent a group of “social outcasts”, who remain largely invisible in society. They are members of a generation eager to discover and explore the new “commodities”. Invisible is unprecedented in the intimacy with which it portrays its subjects. The film presents perspectives influenced by euphoria as well as the sobering reality that follows, without passing judgments, trivializing, denigrating, or exploiting the subjects.
