Yeah, really..
believing anything that comes out of the mouth of a crack or heroin addict is like believing in the easter bunny.
Most people just don't get that heroin addicts care only about one thing: getting their next fix..and they will do whatever is necessary to get it.. stealing from family, friends and strangers, turning tricks, begging, lying and scamming others, etc.
Heroin addicts do not think "logically".. they do not think or care about the consequences of what they do.
There was definitely something strange going on in that house in Babylon..
The neighbors had no reason to lie..
There is a reason why several Johns were accusing the people in that house of running a scam.. i don't think you read of such accusations that often.
You are not going to see a grown man running out in the street naked unless he was threatened..
Nice post on junkies, but, I must add:
Grown men on drugs run the streets nude when the tweek. Chased one down to stop him while in very high heels (way too old for that now), nothing was threatening him, just his mind. He stripped as he ran. He died a year later, heroin overdose. Know a few that would love to run nude and free from alcoholism, some have. Or coke, or crack, or anything. Running nude happens a lot. Not necessarily threatened. Just a part of the mind that clicks to do so for paranoia or for fun.
ETA: Men or women do this. And, to add, men and women are "saints or johns". (Or is that johnies or johnettes?)
