Heroin is cheap and it is becoming a problem of epidemic proportions. And it comes with all these wonderful new immigrants south of the border. Heroin has become headline news and a topic of debate among presidential candidates due to a substantial uptick in heroin-related deaths and overdoses. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the number of heroin-related deaths rose 286 percent between 2003-2013. Epidemic. Where does it come from.

It's cheap, so they snort it. No needles, no track marks, same addiction. It's bad news. Doesn't take long to get hooked. A wild long weekend will do it.

Build the damned wall!
Heroin addiction recovery rate is tiny.
You won't see many older heroin addicts. They're dead.

i know of two kids that grew up right but some how got caught in the heroin game, ............ they lost. nothing so painful than as to watch a great set of loving parents go through that kind of hell trying to figure out what had gone so wrong. heart breaking doesn't come close to describing it.this epidemic knows no boundary,hits good loving families as hard as broken dysfunctional ones. if you think it can't happen to your family you are wrong.

I agree with the Darwin angle. Drugs are a good sorter outer. No so sure about that. Even good kids do stupid stuff now and then. Get drunk for a weekend and you have a massive hangover. Get drunk one weekend and do heroin and your hooked and your life is never the same on many levels. Serious price to pay.

And, the new synthetic stuff on the streets is so much more powerful that every encounter is a game of dosage roulette. Many will die.

Heroin is terrible stuff. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some experts place the rate of relapse for heroin addicts as high as 80 percent, which means that the recovery rate may be as low as 20 percent. Link. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Which means 80 out of 100 people who seek treatment will die from it. this does not include the people who never seek help. Addicts call it "Chasing The Dragon".

The same reason that soldiers or pilots go on crazy dangerous missions: It's never going to happen to me! That 20% who survive, that's going to be ME!

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".
The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.

Could end heroin problem immediately. Something like 95% is grown in Afghanistan. Seems would could kill two birds with one stone. Or at least a few well placed nukes.

what we have an 'epidemic' of, is stupid people that want to get high. They pretty much deserve to die for being that dumb. No one makes folks smoke, snort, inject, or eat drugs. They all do it because they want to. Sometimes life style choices go awry. Ya know?

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.
