I wonder if she was lured in to a vehicle with drugs. I am also an addict and have abused a number of opiates and benzodiazepines (ex xanax). So it is easy to insert myself in her shoes.
If she had just relapsed this is especially dangerous, people often die from heroin OD after relapse because they use too much by accident. We are also having an epidemic of fentanyl laced heroin. If you do not know, fentanyl is an extremely potent and cheap opiate. Fentanyl is about 100 times more potent than morphine. Meaning, .01 milligrams of fentanyl is equivalent to 10 milligrams of morphine. Fentanyl laced heroin has killed 4 of my close friends and acquaintances in the last year. It can cause "hardened", experienced drug users with high drug tolerances to overdose and die.
Even if I had just bought my own drugs, if somebody called and offered to get me high for free or if they had better drugs I would promptly get in their car and enjoy the ride so to speak. As soon as they say "it's on us" it's like your brain short circuits and you focus on those words and forget about everything else. You would leave your freshly bought drugs behind because, hey you can come back to it right? It's not going anywhere, but the free drugs sure are. And xanax is in an entirely different ballpark as heroin.
That's why I think she was likely lured. I don't believe she was abducted in the sense that somebody pulled up and dragged her in to their car. I think they had drugs, she knew they had drugs, and she simply could not resist the temptation, even leaving her sister behind. It makes sense that she didn't tell her sister if it was this AJM person or his affiliates. She probably didn't want to worry her, or wanted to hide her relapse due to shame and embarrassment. I don't understand the motive behind the people she is with, but I understand the motive behind why she did what she did.
I hope this is a valuable insight. Us addicts, we're looked down upon, and the "normal" functions of our lives and social groups is generally unknown or misread and awash with bias and disdain by the general public. Please don't look down on this girl. It's difficult to understand when you've never been addicted, but it's honestly genuinely out of her control whether she acts on these temptations or not. I worry that MSM won't take this seriously because "Oh it's another junkie", but if anything, that's even more reason that Mari needs our help and needs to be located. She has a weakness that was taken advantage of. Nobody deserves this.
