drugs are going down, but prescription pills and heroin is on the rise. it seems to me there is a heroin epidemic going on. in high school there was pot in our lockers, now there is heroin. the real epidemic is prescription opiates, which belongs to the same category as heroin. really and truly the overdose deaths is doctors prescribing and over prescribing pain medications to people with drug and alcohol problems who go on to become addicted. you know, the reality is that drugs go in cycles. we have an epidemic of drugs this is driving this epidemic. half the people who start, report that they got the drugs for free from a friend or relative. yeah, i know no person could have made me stop.
