NY State is another border state with serious problem.
I’m in Miami and Florida hasn’t seen as much as other states. We did have major “pain management” centers with legal drugs distributed. I think they stopped the Rx opiate centers once it started causing a lot of problems.
The media has been saying that the heroin epidemic was caused by government restrictions on Rx narcotics. I don’t understand how the FDA gets away with approving drugs that they know were introduced under false pretense and are known to have destroyedmmany lives, but i don’t believenthatmwas themproblem.
From what I saw it was always the supply that influenced use. In the 80’ and 90’s there was cocaine, and since there really was a war on drugs, it was too expensive for curious kids.
The DEA was in Colombia burning coca fields, dealers as well as bankers were thrown in jail daily. Federal agencies made daily offshore interceptions of drugs before they got into the country and that was before Homeland Security and NSA’s freakish spying abilities. Marijuana was readilly available and that was the drug of choice for most kids.
Even then Hollywood movies glamorized drug use. Remember the movie “10”, a “perfect” woman smoked pot.
Now they’re after children. An example of the “drug legalization” campaign is children’s comic book created touting the virtues of drug use.
As disturbing as the comic book may seem it is likely that more harm has been done by the “journalists” on payroll presenting deceptive “drug legalization benefits” talking points as factual news.
