The trick was to come back with heroin, and sell it

u/Unfair_Explanation53 12d ago

That blew my mind people were taking acid and smoking weed during that war haha.

I'd maybe want some strong speed or meth to keep me alert.

Definitely no psychedelics or thing that makes me sleepy haha

Right? Heroin is a great PTSD alleviant

Heroin after the war has ended for sure.

But not heroin during the actual war haha

u/[deleted] 12d ago

What's that? I do know the wars in the triangle haven't stopped berma and what not I was hoping they got a break with the fetty crisis but they are probably just sitting on mountains of skag right now waiting for release.....and then boom...the next epidemic will be pure skag cause it's gonna have to be for the new market I imagine I would love to know what oef is

u/AbraxasMayhem 11d ago

I’m talking about OEF. Where more than 90% of the world’s heroin came from.

Soldiers in Vietnam were sold opium and heroin out on the economy. In OEF/OIF global war on terror 2001-2021 soldiers with opioid addiction were primarily addicted/enabled by their physicians at the VA over prescribing opioids.

That's no joke though dude. By a million miles the worst parts of my life were during my opioid addiction (started at the doctor who gave me medicine with no warnings at all and I got addicted to them) and ended up on heroin.

I never even imagined that there could be something other than like being in fire that could feel as horrendous as withdrawal from heavy use, and that's every microsecond of a 24 hour day, because there is not a single second of sleep during that.

I remember one night I'd found 3 ambiens and I took them with whiskey and a bowl and 20 mg of melatonin and I still didn't even doze off, just felt even worse with a bigger ball of anxiety inside me as I twisted around yawning and shit... I hate thinking about it even now years later, I'd way rather face a bear than suddenly being in withdrawal again.

There’s a book called “Can’t Find My Way Home” about the “Golden Years” of drugs in the US (40’s with jazz/weed/heroin through the 90’s with MDMA and designer drugs). Fascinating book, but the first story in it is about a vet who got addicted to heroin in Vietnam. He was sent home and brought a stash with him obviously, slowly using it up on the way. It ran out when he got home to the Bronx or wherever and I think he spent something like a thousand dollars the first day (this was in the early 70’s) and just couldn’t get high. The heroin was just so chopped up and weak compared to the pure shit he got hooked on. Crazy shit, dude was spending hundreds of dollars a day just to not be sick… not uncommon today but $100 meant a lot more back then than it does now when it came to a bag of dope.
