8. How 'bout heroin addicts. ??? I think this drug is one of the
Edited on Mon Aug-16-04 09:08 AM by gatlingforme
worst around, ( I am not discounting alcohol as a very bad addiction) but heroin is on the rise everywhere and is a serious problem. The increase in DO with heroin is prominent. And many of these addicts commit more serious offenses to get another bag. From mugging to robbery, they are making these choices under the influence of this drug. The drug war is a joke and always has been. I think more emphasis must be put on rehab for the first timers... recidivism is high among this crowd. very sad.
