Recipe for addiction

Here is my take on why kids become addicted to drugs

 based on what I know about Pahrump Nevada and the sad thing is..the people that run that town couldn't possibly care less.

Ok to be fair I should clarify.

By drugs I mean prescription drugs.

There is a recipe in fact that should explain things easily but if you read my ranting you know I can’t just say it easily.

First! Preheat your county to 105* F

Then suck all the moisture from the air. 

Add dust and dirt and rocks mix well. (don't forget to remove all things fun for kids)

Add a lizard or two for texture

Combine teens and young adults

Fold in lazy parents and failing school systems.

Once those are done set aside

Count all the doctors that can prescribe all medications

Take 4% of them and throw them away.  They don’t belong in this recipe.

Take the remaining doctors and what not’s and give them a prescription pad, an agreement from a pharmaceutical sales rep. and combine in a rapid whipping motion for 5 minutes.

Next add the teens and doctors, knead them until the doctors ooze prescriptions for narcotic pain medications for bruises and then let sit.

Make sure the parents are still lazy and then separate with disinterest.  You can use a helping of Not Giving a Damn if you don’t have enough disinterest. Equal measures.

Next add all the ingredients together, making sure none of the Caring Doctors get mixed in by accident and once the mixture becomes complacent, bored, starts to ooze a lot of denial and hopelessness then you are almost ready to stick in the oven.

Now, if you have one, stab the dough with a local government fork and then slice just the surface with overzealous and self important cops until it starts to become numb to the treatments.

Once that is accomplished throw (and I mean throw) the whole thing into the oven.  Make sure you do it with enough force that the entire mixture spreads out and contaminates the entire place. 

Crank up the heat, the not caring and the self induced hole of “oh well it’s not my problem” and let bake until burnt and pull out.

Place on the counter and enjoy!
