E Explosion in DFW

I want to start this article saying I DO NOT DO DRUGS.

In fact I am an ex drug abuser. I did cocaine for several years, and have been clean longer than I even did the drug. I have always made a point to have friends who do not do drugs either. I have kicked people out of my house permanently for having a bag of weed in their pocket. Needless to say I have no idea what goes on in the drug world. To be honest I am happy not knowing. I know they are out there, I can spot when people are high... That is good enough for me.

So you know a city with a drug problem has to be bad for me to see it. I am upset by this. I love DFW. (That is the Dallas-Forth Worth Metroplex.) I have been living here for a few years now. Yet this place I love so much is in the throws of a drug problem. I am almost unsure how to react.

Every where I look now people are rolling. For those who do know know Rolling is the term for people high on Ecstacy. The drug is often just called E. People who have never done drugs before are on this now. I do not understand this. How do you go from drug free to becoming an e-tard. Yes that's what I said e-tards: because that is exactly what happens to these people.. They get dumb. They destroy their brains and walk around with dumb smiles and no thoughts in their heads.

In my days of drugs I tried it. Hated it... Was Forced to try it again. Yes Forced! I was held down as a handful of pills were shoved in my mouth. It was swallow them or choke. So I swallowed them. That was one of the worst nights of my life and one of the things that made me stop doing drugs. Anything that could make you so dumb that you would do that to another person is not worth doing.

Here it is 10 years later, and the tide of drugs has returned. I know it never really left but I has not been this bad in 10 years. What is happening? Why is it happening?  How is it that you can not even go to work and escape it? I mean I always knew it was in the clubs. They at least used to hide it, but now you go to the supermarket and the deli clerk is high on E.

Right now I am reading Hunter S. Thompson. We all know that man loved his drugs. I have no clue what his feelings on this drug was but like Hunter I can see the Fear and the Loathing in the American lifestyle. Waves of it are hitting DFW with Massive force. I do not know how to react to it. I am worried. For myself, for my children, for my friends, and for this country that was once the home of the brave and land of the free.
