Yeah, hilarious. Kids addicted to heroin, bro. That's so fucking funny.
Kinda broke my heart to realise how a majority of these kids go into child prostitution to fuel their drug addiction. What kind of a sick fuck do you need to be to manipulate and abuse a child in that way.

Oh chill out, people make jokes about horrible shit all the time, not a big deal.
What makes this even worse is how most of them even say that they started abusing drugs to cope with loss of loved ones. Just such a horrible way to cope with it. With how pure the heroin they have is, they truly are flirting with overdose every step of the way.

He's obviously never been to LiveLeak.
This may seem cruel. If this keeps up, these children may evolve genetically to have a higher resistance to the drug. Same like Ozzy.

That is not how it works... At all. Resistance to a drug is born from your brain being unable to find enjoyment in small volumes of drug as it once may of been able to. For example, I started taking 20mg or Prozac, it worked fine for 6 months, but I had to be upped to roughly 40mg of Prozac in order to gain the same effect.
Eventually, it is expected that I'll either have to switch to a different medication, or continue up'ing my dose until it reaches a point where doing so will be detrimental to my health.
With opiates like heroin, you cannot simply just beat the drug or grow a certain resistance to it. Once you reach a certain mg dosage, you will begin to feel adverse effects that come from overdosing. Most people who reach this point have called it "Quit or Die" because you either end up quitting or you'll end up dead from an overdose, intentional or accidental.

I am relating to my experiences with intoxicants. I am of European stock. I cannot get addicted to drugs at all. I have seen people with Native American ancestry (pure blooded) who get hooked to alcohol with one sip.
The only way I figure the reason for that is genetics. In my case, my bloodline had an environment where exposure to said intoxicants was common for a long time. Some others did not have that. So maybe you are right that I am wrong and ignorant. It is the only answer I could think of. With those in Afghanistan may end up evolving the same way as well?

This is sorta dumb, man. It doesn't make sense logically.
And people getting hooked on one sip, or their first puff of a cigarette, that's more to do them being predisposed to addiction due to a hereditary gene.

Isn't there a link between the two?
Sincere in my question.

You're wrong about pretty much everything.
Basically:
Evolution doesn't happen over one lifetime, nor dozens for the matter.
Human bloodlines are not different enough to have any bearing on something like this, and definitely not to the extent that you're describing.
At most people from one family may be statistically more likely to become addicted than people from another.
You can become tolerant to a lot of substances by using them, but that isn't really related to genetics.
