Parents lead anti-cheese-heroin rally at Overlake Park in northwest Dallas on Friday

Absolutely no more cheese, but leave us the crackers.

You don't hear as much lately about "cheese" heroin but it's still a problem, with detox programs loaded with adolescents and young adults who are addicted. So some parents led a march of about 100 people against it to memorialize those who have died and hold fast against it.

Rehabs loaded with little idiots...don't really feel sorry for them. Kids are more connected these days than adults are and if they don't know what "cheese" is and decide to try it, well they mind as well be huffing paint like the old school morons used to do it.

Yeah, but I do feel sorry for their parents. My kids sure haven't made the decisions I would have made for them, but I count myself blessed that they never got mixed up with a crowd that glorified self abuse, whether chemical or physical. Their youthful follies weren't permanently life altering.

And you're right about being "connected" TB. Kids today have access to more information than at any time in history, yet they are still as stupid as my generation was. Not sure how useful a march to remind kids of those who have died will be though except to make these parents feel like they are "doing something." In my day, for some perverse reason the high profile and tragic deaths of people like Hendrix and Joplin seemed to have glorified drug addiction.

I feel more sorry for the children than I do the parents. Marching to bring awareness to an issue like this hardly seems effective although, after reading the full article and comments, it is only a part of a neighborhood solution.

Keep the little buggers busy and they won’t have time to party!

Kids always have and always will think they're invincible. Even if they have heard of all the incredibly down-sides of heroin - like, you know, DEATH - they won't believe it'll happen to them.

Pretty sure if I had a kid and found out he was using hard drugs, I'd ground him. In China, maybe - what other country would it take him or her too long to learn the language to be able to score drugs?
