Badger** Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 This reminder popped up today. Jacob was a wonderful baby and a hard worker as he got older his down fall was he tried heroin once and that was it he was hooked. Jacob never drank or smoked and worked his ass off but in the corner he was doing heroin. One day he took the hit of a life time his heroin was laced with fentanyl that was the day no one could save Jacob. I will never forget the look on his father face the day we lost little Jacob he was 29 years old. Feb 24, 2021 Maybe this will save a life.

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted December 30, 2021 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted December 30, 2021 Yet we sit back and let China and the cartels pour fentanyl thru our southern borders. Anyone who tries heroin must realize they are playing Russian roulette. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkisNH Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 I don't understand this generations obsession with opiods....in my day only the biggest dirbags did heroine, even the coke heads would tell you that. My lead carpenter lost his boy, just about broke him. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger** Posted December 31, 2021 Author Share Posted December 31, 2021 At soon to be 59 years old this video still hurts my soul. I wish you guys could have seen him as a baby he loved his dad so much and he did till the day we lost him. I had Jacob do some landscaping and I tried to talk to him and tell him we are all so proud of him I told him I was here if he needed anything or help and he listen to me but still. His father said I could share this and we hope it will save a life. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DriftBusta Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Terrible. We've lost several young kids in our community, a couple who's friends were hooked, and another who died, along with a bunch of others we could connect to. Like SkiNH said, heroin was what the dirtbags did in the 60s and early 70s. It was hard to wrap my brain around the fact that all these kids who were raised better and should have known better, are being taken by this shit. Another reason i am so disgusted with our government and lax border policies right now. When are we going to stop letting China corrupt our government and look the other way with all this fentanyl that is coming from there? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're were in the sandbox for 20 yrs defending the fields flying military cargo planes full of the shit back here . There has been more of that crap on the street in the last 20 yrs than you can imagine. Kids can get smack ezer than booze or blow or lsd. Poss now the flow will slow and the kids can get back to designer drugs Really not hart to figure out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heroin and the like have been around since my high school partying days yet, nobody I knew even messed with it and nobody overdosed on anything….or came in and shot the school up.

XCR1250 Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 I never understood why anyone would do any drugs including weed, I lost a couple friends doing drugs back in the 1960's. I recall my best childhood friend Jeff introducing me to his then girlfriend, he said this is Don who has never done any drugs, she looked at me and said "Freak".

XCR1250 Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 The 60's were nuts, drug use was the go to thing, not all but many friends I knew started with weed and then tried worse drugs, I supposed the thinking was if weed was good hard drugs might be better. My friend Jeff whom I mentioned above got killed while on hard drugs, he hit a tree while riding his Harley, autopsy showed he was on multiple different drugs according to what his sister told me back then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nop I was a 80s kid people were dropping from fucking did not stop me people were dropping from blow did not stop me . The "war in drugs" and stupid shit like "just say no" made them more appealing.

sleepybrew Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 i was born in the 60s. drugs everywhere in the 70s. i had older brothers and a strict mother. my brothers warned me about what not to touch . i did not have opportunity to do anything like that until older. i don't get how these people dive in to heroin knowing it's likely they won't return .

Gold Member 800renegaderider Posted December 31, 2021 Gold Member Share Posted December 31, 2021 Growing up most us kids in school try booze and weed and some did mushrooms past that I think we all knew nothing good was gonna come from doing the harder drugs like meth, heroin, coke and pills. Seems like it be a good idea to have your kids watch a season of intervention in like 6th grade when they are young kinda like a scared straight deal. I think once they see how fucked up people become on booze, heroin, coke, pills, spray paint, meth whatever I doubt they be dumb enough to even consider trying anything.

Gold Member EvilBird Posted December 31, 2021 Gold Member Share Posted December 31, 2021 SAD😥 ....I lost a good Buddy to Opioids a few years ago. I still have his picture up on my toolbox. Fucking sucks. He was a great Dude. Went to FL for Automotive school and got introduced to pills. After that he was on a downward spiral getting a little worse each year. I smoke Weed and Drink but never had the desire to try any hard stuff. I worry about my Kids in the future everytime I see stuff like this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcohol can also be very dangerous, I stopped drinking it in 1981 after I collapsed in a Burger King, Doctors walked me thru why I should quit and I never touched it again, I drank 99.9% Beer. This is what mostly convinced me to stop drinking: Liver diseases, including cirrhosis and fatty liver disease Heart diseases Increased risk for certain cancers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
