Heroin is not the epidemic. Opioids are the epidemic. They have been for over a decade. It seems that people care more when their kids are buying it on a street corner than they do when they're getting it out of their medicine cabinet or a "pain clinic".
Exactly. Over prescribed opioids lead to many many heroin addictions. Heroin is the easy way to get the same high after the prescription runs out. I see it regularly.
