New Low to Get High

You've heard about how local kids are ingesting packets of 'seeds,' like Blue Morning Glory, to experience a hallucinogenic effect!  If that's not insane enough, there's now another way kids are getting high that's hit what I call sewage level; drinking large amounts of Imodium, the anti-diarrhea over the counter medication! It gives the expression S**t Happens new meaning!

What's most alarming, though, is the widespread need to escape the realities of everyday life. So many, young and old, are obsessed about finding relief from their pain, whether it's physical or mental. A lot of people getting high are costing taxpayers money that could be used for other necessities. Bottom line is we need to start having a real conversation about 'why' there's a crises about people's need to get high.
