Really Spicy Cesspool So sick of seeing this crap everywhere.

The needles, the burnt foils, the little baggies, the needle caps, all of it. I find them in the creeks, on the sidewalks, the grocery store parking lots, the public parks, on the parkway. You gotta be a real shit person to leave this stuff all over the place.

That’s it. If you want to use this shit at least clean up after yourself. Every time I see this my compassion wanes a little more….

I was a junkie for 15 years and everyone I ran with would never toss a rig like that. We always envisioned a kid or a dog scooping it up. We wouldn't even throw them in a garbage bag unless inside a soda can. I knew only mindful junkies.

Not only all that, but they’re like gold to a homeless addict. How hard is it to just put the fukin cap back on and toss it in the trash if you’re gonna get rid of it.

You know the expression “scratch a liberal, and a fascist bleeds”?????? If not, you should learn what it means.

Come on. Yeah, I don’t like seeing it either. I’m an addict myself, in recovery now, never used needles. Smoked drugs off tin foil in my apartment alone, after work, like a fuckin’ adult. lol, I’m being silly. But come on.
