I have some personal knowledge of that being true locally. High school kids say that heroin is easier to get than opiod pills now, so there you go.
Yup, same here. Also not just kids, but respectable middle aged whites are supposedly out there trying to score heroin if their pill source is cut off. Now the cartel is cutting heroin with fentanyl, which is supposedly crazy strong and more addictive.
I think the increase in the suicide rate among white middle aged women over the last 15 years or so has a lot to do with the opioid/pill epidemic.
