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".
I've heard this is a stepping stone to heroin. People get hooked on prescription pain meds, doc quits prescribing and they resort to heroin because it is cheap and easy to get.
Back in the 5th grade I had a teacher say that she never tried any 'drugs' because she was afraid she would like them. I took that advice to heart and have lived the same motto. Darn glad I have......some of that stuff must be incredible - just look what people will do to get more....
