The word has to get out somehow. Drugs are the silent killers in SWVA, and particularly in McDowell. Attention needs to be called to it.

Lance 228 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 I thought maybe they had fished out a hot chick when I first saw this...but, figures it would just be another drug story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhschamps04 15 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 I agree that attention needs to be brought to the serious drug problem in the area things are getting way out of hand and alot of people are turning a blind eye. My last thing is when did they start putting articles in playboy?LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityofRaven 2,453 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 My thing about this is why are people so outraged? Just because it's Playboy? That just shows how out of wack people's perception is about the obvious drug problem we have in this area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futbolking 766 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 The lady they interviewed at the beginning of the story on WVVA reminded me of the Church Lady on Saturday Night Live..... I can see people's concerns about it being in a publication like Playboy, but come on....this is the 21st century....at least it's getting some "exposure"...no pun intended.

Hacker 82 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 Truth and fact can be found in the most surprising places. Back in the day Playboy always had great writing and interviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember years ago when Time did a piece on OxyContin, and people around here went BALLISTIC. Here's the piece. Actually a very good piece. http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1039712,00.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redtiger 1,742 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 (edited) I remember years ago when Time did a piece on OxyContin, and people around here went BALLISTIC. Seems as though alot of people in SWVA want to write off drug abusers as a seperate group and dont want to be associated with them and definately dont want "outsiders" to make that association. When in reality they are our neighbors and as much as I would like to kick alot of them square in the ass for things they do, have done and dont do, they need the support of their communities. Dont get me wrong, im no bleeding heart but ignoring the issue hasnt helped and condeming them hasnt helped so on to the next solution. The Time article is a good one.

bucfan64 309 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Truth and fact can be found in the most surprising places. Back in the day Playboy always had great writing and interviews. Yep, thats why I subscribed back in the day! For the articles..........LOL! All kidding aside, PB has produced some very good articles and interviews in the past, I no longer subscribe nor support that type of publication, but I would be lying if I said that I didn't in the past.

RoughRider97 10 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 A little too late for action I believe, everybody is already dead. Go to the graveyard at Roderfield,WV and see all the young people dead. Something should have been done back in 1999-2001 to curb the problem, but Purdue Pharmacuetical made billions of dollars and Doctors got kickbacks. Regulation of Pharmacuetical companies, strict guidelines to Dr's on how to write and when to write scripts, Rehabilitation, and alternative medicines are the only way to ever truly alleviate the problem.

Beamerball 566 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 Didn't that one come out about the same time that little crap piece of a story 20/20 had? Still remember that one and the exaggerating that went on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
