[blue morphine]

just thought i would post this about my brother because he posted here under the name "big frank". he was a seed survivor from south fl. and lived in seattle washington for the past 5 yrs. well, he was found in his apartment dead 3 weeks ago yesterday... an overdose of heroin..
 he was my baby brother and i got him to post here when i discovered this site several months ago. he had posted about how one of his old comers beat him with a belt in front of the family. and made him drop his pants..
 he had recently lost his job and was very despondent the past few weeks prior to his death.
  just thought i would share this with you guys..
 
  thanks for letting me vent..

That just makes me so fucking angry I can't even find the words!

I'm so sorry for your loss. When will people start to pay some fucking attention to what's going on!!! Abuse and humiliation is not a cure for substance abuse! It's a cause! A legislated monopoly on certain drugs to criminal enterprises only makes the whole thing that much more dangerous, not less.

I'm so sorry to hear about your brother. What a horrible waste. If only he had lived in saner times this would never have happened.

I just don't know what to say. Frank seemed like such a kind guy...and he definitely was glad to have found us here. Some of what had happened to him in the seed haunted him..

Frank and I had some private conversations via email. He was really relieved to find that other people shared his pain and had suffered at the hands of the Seed and that it wasn't his fault that he was mistreated.

I am so sorry we lost him and I hope your family is okay.

The prestige of government has undoubtedly been lowered considerably by the Prohibition law. For nothing is more destructive of respect for the government and the law of the land than passing laws which cannot be enforced. It is an open secret that the dangerous increase of crime in this country is closely connected with this.

Let me add my condolences also Blue Morphine. Based on the previous post I guess I was in there with you and your brother. Hopefully he is finally at peace.
