Parents, don't kid yourselves: Heroin use is growing among local teens
Dear Santa Barbara Teen,
Heroin is about as cool as a mortuary at two in the morning. It kills. Sometimes it kills real fast--especially if it is bad heroin. One of your fellow teens died recently from bad heroin. It came from a dealer here in town. The dealer is out there still, looking for more takers. He will sell it again, the bad stuff, and maybe you, too, will die. Sure, you're a teen, More»

Eringer's bud, the gecko-dude, seems to favor the tinfoil series,
or Eringer only forwards those to him. "Manchurian chips"

"Parents, don't kid yourselves: Heroin use is growing among local teens"
Sometimes bubble dwellers just don't get that even if you don't know of anyone who is using drugs, the drug business effects us all. It isn't pretty. FBI/CIA Eringer should know how the drug business works. Why even the elite can get hooked. Image that.

Comrade Laura Schlessinger promised to get everyone "up to speed" on Afghanistan. Her son, Deryk Schlessinger, worked a brief time at heroin central. What was that all about? She should be informed, very informed, about the situation and it is criminal to withhold the facts from people.

Especially the people she works up to risk life and limb.
For what?

It's said Santa Barbara's heroin is from Mexico, all trafficing effects everyone. The FBI/CIA would know what a big cash cow drug trafficing is. You can trade weapons and pay no tax. You can even pay for a war with your profits. Tell those teens to just say no.
