Wow so dam sad
Yep. On the rise
Scary!
Not the same city it was that’s for sure?
You can tell how the city of santa clarita is becoming richer just by how much drugs it’s able to afford and it’s sad how parents have little to no clues of how their kids are getting their hands on them. The answer is NOT always putting more money in their wallets.
Excellent comment. But will the parents in this valley realize how true it is.
Shirley Vercelli No,the answer is, no the parents in SCV do not realize that it is their children that have the drug problem. And it is thriving in the richest of neighborhoods and the poorest neighborhoods, no one class of people is immune.
That’s one part of the equation, the other and sad part is, who is helping the drug movement getting to their targets across the borders? Perhaps the good citizens demand the whole government structure discloses EVERYTHING in it’s dirty closet of who they are going to bed with?.. We can pinpoint smartbombs within a few inches of our desired target half way round the globe and yet we have a drug problem right on our doorstep?… LMAO…. You know how disgustingly perverted our system can get sometimes?
Possibly dumber, more like it. Too many parents themselves love to party & ignore family life. They have dumb ideas that drug use is a “phase.” Many kids have no clue how to have “fun” without being drunk or high. In addition addict parents have addict kids. If mom or dad is s drunk, pill popper, stoner, recreational drug user than kids may follow. Those are powerful examples. I don’t get why people can’t have fun without the booze, beer or drug consumption?!
It’s everywhere not just Santa Clarita!!!
Heron costs less than Percocet in many cities
I don’t get the whole drug consumption life style? Really? Nasty heroine? That’s like taking dicon for fun!! Huh? Pill popping is just absurd. And On top of that there’s a whole lot of hypochondriacs running around. Out of control. Hurry some one develop a pill to cure addiction disease? People have lost their sense of purpose. How do people consciously make a decision to get started? Creepy way to die.
I believe in making all of it LEGAL! It’s working in other countries, We haven’t tried it. . And I believe Humans are Worth the legalization of drugs to ,,HELP, never to harm… the government can do Better * peace and Unveiling of the TRUTH+++

Where have you all been? My friends are all addicted to pills and I graduated in 2002. Santa Clarita can’t just be realizing this can it? I mean since I’ve left the town. I’ve lost friends to pills and Heroin. All in all the city needs to stop building places to shop. Instead build places to congregate and disperse happiness through interaction. Instead non interactive transactions in stores. They say it’s a great place to raise a family. Until they get to high-school & pills and drinking is the only thing left for fun. Give people something to do. Build a comedy venues. Places where people can have some fun and be safe.
SCV does have an epidemic currently. Heroin and Meth are on the rise and victims are as well. Prescription opiates are no better then their much uglier cousins.
However there is money to be made with the scripts so that perpetual motion will continue to cycle.
