Cuyahoga County (Cleveland) has had record deaths from heroin overdoses. 52 last month alone. "Prescription drugs" are not the main culprit.

When I think about my former career... I can actually remember going to more people who died from drug overdoses than car accidents. I thought that it was more of a local phenomena. I worked in a drug and crime infested city. It is interesting to me that this is now a national trend. It indicates to me that the country is in a downward spiral.

The media/govt latest obsession. They are not interesting in helping people, that I am sure.

Good, cull the herd.
If you can't resist it to the point you die, I don't really want you in the gene pool.

Well, it is probably improving our DNA

Meanwhile dims want to impede the Second Amendment, a natural right, and foster drug use which has not natural right in the Constitution.

Amazing.

Cars are getting safer and drugs more powerful and varied so this isn’t a surprise. I mean when I was young meth wasn’t even around like it is today.

The heroin out there now is cheap, highly potent, and often laced with extremely dangerous chemicals. And it has spread to the upper middle class in epidemic proportions.
