It's natural selection. Evolution if u will. Darwin at its finest. Tonite they chase the dragon... Tomorrow they die. It's their choice. Nobody put a gun to there head. The overprescribing of legal opioids has contributed and helped create this. It's sad but it's true. Alcohol does far more damage to society as a whole. It hits the same receptor sites in the brain as heroin. Also the picture of China white heroin is not the Heroin the kids are killing themselves with. It's black tar heroin and it's deadly. Only a certain percentage use it it's very small compared to alchohol and legal narcotics that are abused at a much higher rate. Treatment is a sham. Why the insurance companies fell for this scam is a mystery to me still. It categorically does not work. Treatment centers do not keep tabs on their success rate because they don't have one.  Change is an inside job.
