If it's Plano, it's gotta be Heroin.

Why would it be heroin? Plano is one of the most affluent sections of the metroplex.

Not indicating that heroin had anything to do with this woman's problems. But in response to your post.

Heroin and Teens

Some communities have exhibited this trend more dramatically than others. For instance, the affluent town of Plano, TX was hit especially hard: in the past three years, they have buried 19 young people because of heroin. Read this article from Newsweek to learn how the problem started and what community leaders did to fight it.

The Newsweek artilce is no longer linked to this article

Back in the late 90s (97-99) there were a string of highschoolers that OD'd on heroin. 11 in 97 alone. As far as I know of the situation, it is still going strong.

A bit coincidental, don't you think, that the drug of choice for a very affluent suburb is one of the worlds most expensive. Over 500 bucks for a gram of heroin. Makes sense to me.

I always did hate PESH. Buncha rich, spoiled, drug addicts.
