Welcome back

Whew!!

Long time running and a long time gone!

Haven't posted for six months, but I'm back from the salt mines.

Non-stop lectures and schools and help with rehab. It's been tiring and rewarding at the same time, but the schools and youth groups is where I like to work the most.

The kids are wide open targets for the drug companies and other pushers and even the meth makers and junk dealers are working on getting new customers in the schools and playgrounds.

I've heard it said that the pushers don't want children as "customers" because they're dangerous to work with. Also that there are enough hard core addicts to keep them busy.
But remember, heroin pushers and crystal meth dealers are in a strange position,

they're killing their customers!

This is not on any list of good business practices. It is actually bad for the future of any enterprise to murder your patrons.

So it becomes necessary for these guys to constantly recruit new customers. They have to replace the ones who get busted, are too sick to continue, the ones who get clean or even die.

And new users/buyers definitely have to meet certain qualifications:

1. New users need to be willing to keep a secret so they don't rat out their dealers,
2. To be viable, there must be some source of money.
3. There must be a willingness to get and stay high.
4. It is also necessary that the buyers are too stupid, or at least too ignorant, to make a good choice when it comes to what they put into their bodies, where they hang out and who they associate with.
   

When you can put all those items together in one youngster, Bingo! we have a winner.

In my next post, we'll take a look at some of the things the pushers and dealers are doing to attract the kids.
