Heroin is an epidemic where I live - kids die from it on a weekly basis around here.
They see it happen again and again, but they think they won’t become addicted if they try it once. So sad.
I'm told that it is. People who take these drugs get so unbelievably high that they are hooked pretty much for life. Once they come down from the high, their life's mission becomes obtaining the next fix. I cannot imagine how the high can be worth the utter depravity that follows but apparently these drugs are extremely powerful and addictive.
