METHADONE: 100 PERCENT DOPE AND IT CAN KILL YOU

Methadone is more addictive than alcohol, tobacco, cocaine, codeine, oxy or
morphine. And it is 10 times more dangerous to those who get hooked on it
because they are led to believe it's perfectly OK to use it for a time to
get off street drugs. It is not. That period of time never ends.

Go to a friendly heroine pusher. He wines and dines you on it until you're
hooked. Then, like the methadone pusher, they only take cash - no evidence
trail. No money, no drugs. Get sick, depressed, need help? Think you can
get some professional counseling? Not from the heroine pusher and not from
the methadone pusher.

I can assure you that if these unfortunate addicts commit suicide, their
loved ones will not receive condolences from a methadone clinic.

Oh, it's legal, you say? So is OxyContin and Tylox, but we don't have
clinics named after them.

This drug doesn't have a calming effect on its victims. It works like
cocaine, crack or speed. It is 100 percent dope and it can kill you. Notice
the obituaries lately; a lot of persons 15 to 55. Think probably dope?
Probably right.

Law enforcement authorities can arrest and set punishment for the street
pushers and provide us some protection. It's going to take more to stop the
methadone madness - it's going to take us, the people, to outlaw these
legal dope parlors. Write to senators, Congress, mayors, town council. Help
stop this invasion of the mind snatchers before another person is lost.

Dope will not cure addiction to dope any more than gas can put out a fire.
