This is bull crap. I lived in Indiana 30 years ago and in 1975 or 1976, (38-39 years ago), the police in Vanderburgh County, Evansville, busted over 200 suburban kids who were in the heroin subculture after a young couple who was pregnant, were executed by the male victim’s first cousin.
Like this article states the heroin then just like today’s heroin, comes in via the minority gangs and underworld characters in Chicago. Don’t think this is a new phenomenon, or something associated with trends of today. It is there because the demand is there and there are people willing to provide them with the poison they desire.
The only way to slow the flow of heroin would be to do what has needed to be done for decades...lock down the borders.
Heroin was around in in the 70’s. they got rid of it. Understand this is a multibillion $ industry. They bought Chavez. He used his military man power and cargo planes for distribution around the world.
The cartels have joined forces with Hezbollah and Islamist Brotherhood. There is not one major SEC regulated bank in Wall Street that hasn’t been caught laundering Billions, and there is not one bank that has been held criminally liable for anything.
The is no doubt that our government is working with the cartels. Fast and Furious was an example. http://www.thenewamerican.com/world-news/north-america/item/17396-u-s-government-and-top-mexican-drug-cartel-exposed-as-partners
