Drug Dealing and Murder

It continues to piss me off that our society tends to equate drug dealing and even drug use with murder. I wrote about this after seeing the movie The Crew, but the problem remains. I just bought Leon, the international version of the The Professional. I like both versions very much. However, the uncut version includes an annoying scene.

In this scene, after Leon and Mathilda kill a drug dealer, Mathilda insists that they destroy the drugs.

We said, "no women, no kids." Who do you think this is gonna kill, junkies and monkeys?

There are so many things wrong with this scene, I don't even want to start. But the glorification of murderers and the vilification of drug users has consequences that are counted in wasted lives and a slippery truth.

Drug Consulting

Part One: Me

I am sick of seeing heroin and heroin users presented incorrectly in movies and books. As a result, I am making myself available as a consultant to writers and other folk who find themselves writing about matters heroin. I will put together contact information soon.

Part Two: You

Any healthcare providers or other such people who specialize in helping heroin users or people whose lives are affected by them. An example of this is a nurse up in Seattle who consulted with heroin users about health issues and improving technique. I will gladly provide contact information on this site for such people. Those it may surprise many, this site receives roughly 600 visitors very day (That's visitors not hits).

Blogs?

I'm thinking of adding Blogs to this site. I'll let you all know soon.
