Well Massachusetts is pretty much the same as any other state, but I'd like to think it's an open welcoming state that accepts you as you are, flaws and all with no judgements or critiques about what you think or believe. I live in Western MA which is very beautiful(come by in the fall months, you'll love the foliage especially in the Berkshires)and is more laid-back that our Eastern half. That said...we do have a serious opiate problem statewide. Oxys, Percs, Benzos and of course "H" are very prevalent here with "H" being the numero uno. I've been on "H" off and on for 24 years and have yet to slay that ape on my back(the monkey's all grown up now, LOL). I remember when I first tried it, a bag cost $25 and now you can get it for as low as $6...goes to show how much it's sunk it's claws into the fabric of society here. I am always ready to listen and offer my opinion about anything it doesn't have to be about substances...Keep up the great work BL!!!
