The same NYC that started a war on soda is teaching junkies how to shoot up!
ByI couldn’t make this stuff up if I tried. Maybe Quentin Tarantino could, but I can’t.
Reader Patrick emailed “You may have seen that the New York City Department of Health used taxpayer dollars to fund a brochure that is basically a ‘How To’ guide for heroin use, including showing people how to inject the drug. This is for the users own good, the officials say.”
“You can’t be serious,” I thought. But sure enough, there it is.
New York Post: Heroin for dummies
Here’s the latest smack on taxpayers.
The city spent $32,000 on 70,000 fliers that tell you how to shoot heroin, complete with detailed tips on prepping the dope and injecting it into your arm.
The Health Department handout has outraged New York’s top drug prosecutors and abuse experts.
“It’s basically step-by- step instruction on how to inject a poison,” said John Gilbride, who heads the Drug Enforcement Administration’s New York office.
“It’s sick,” said City Council member Peter Vallone Jr. (D-Queens)
“Foolish,” said Columbia University drug researcher and treatment expert Dr. Herbert Kleber.
Heh, you know if Columbia doesn’t like it, it must be a really bad idea.
The 16-page pamphlet features seven comics-like illustrations and offers dope fiends such useful advice as “Warm your body (jump up and down) to show your veins,” and “Find the vein before you try to inject.”
It even encourages addicts to keep jabbing if their needles miss the mark.
“If you don’t ‘register,’ pull out and try again,” it says. …
This is the same city, mind you, that started a war on soda, and a war on salt. But shooting smack is okay as long as you follow instructions. I’ve said it before, and I’m not going to stop saying it – nothing is normal anymore.

LC, you must look at this from the commie point of view. Human life means nothing. Life is misery. Annihilation is the goal. Now, look at the heroin injection instructions again. Makes sense now, doesn’t it?
I was thinking that too. Same thing with the airports. May as well get the masses used to waiting in line and much human indignity. And the heroin, may as well keep people drugged and stupid so they are clueless.
Let’s not look for logic or common sense in any government anymore. It is not going to be there.
