Blue Magic is no joke.

So last week local news reported a major crack down on a trafficking operation rooted in NYC and streaming its way up the Hudson Valley. The only thing is that there's been four overdoses in the past two weeks in a small town. They're linking it to the outbreak 9 months ago that had taken lives and brought an eye opening message to local communities. What can we do about this?

Smack is back, and nobody has really been pressing it. Mostly because it never left and had transformed and finally came full circle and manifested in it's classic form. I mean nowadays there are so many variations to be worried about that if you don't grow something or formulate something yourself, then you really don't know what's in it. I really doubt the majority of customers put any of their products under the microscope to before usage. (That goes for foods and other items as well.)

We had originally stated back in 2011 in the first season of our show that there had been a rapid increase in popularity among opiate based pills within Westchester County. I guess being that we were a fairly new show our warnings weren't considered to be a valued source. We also expressed our concern that it was mostly reaching teens and young adults which still seems to be the demographic for these kinds of drugs.

The idea that it had based from home was perhaps was disturbing to parents and families that feel like their kids were an exception to this epidemic. Drugs don't discriminate and will infiltrate any and all walls of restraint. This is only to say that if it has gone missing from the medicine cabinet, it didn't just grow legs and throw itself into the whirlpool of your toilet. This is the easiest place to find things especially if "the streets" aren't easily accessible, and with the internet holding your child's hand it can inform and instruct which pharmaceuticals would best fit their desires.

Once they're hooked on these, which is easily possible, they continue to look for the same standard high which cannot be met from other depressants. Kids are shooting up and since when is that cool? I think one of the movies that best depicted this kind of situation and made it extremely evident that these kinds of issues can touch people from all pay grades was Traffic. The fact that the shutdown of the pipeline of such drugs raises a question as to how much the local government knows and how much an actual impact they are making. 4 overdoses in 2 weeks is bad, but how much worse could it have been, and what if there are untold stories of such situations?

Well I understand there are tons of questions like these that will most likely go unanswered and perhaps some of them are for the safety of undercover agents and officers at work, however how much of it is due to corruption and racketeering. There appears to be more at hand than meets the eye, and I feel ones ability to question these things can only bring more information to light.

So how can we raise awareness before there is more bad news? What is the best way to get our message heard? Get in contact with us so that we can organize that plan and help push it forward. We are a free form journalistic show that doesn't mind getting real stories from real people and making sure that their voices are heard. We'd like to hear from people that have been affected (directly or indirectly) by the drug related events so that we can develop the best possible voice to be heard by the people.

We aren't activists, we are solely citizens. We hold the megaphone, but we need voices besides our own.
