NSDUH past-month heroin use:
1979 - 128,000
2004 - 166,000
You took two endpoints 25 years apart and claim use "shot up" 30%!? You're a worse weasel than MrLeRoy ... and that says something!
Fine. How about we just go ahead and illustrate it this way, shall we:
1979 - 128,000
1982 - 162,000
2004 - 166,000
That OK with you? Oh, by the way. These numbers are so ridiculously small in a nation of 300,000,000 citizens, arguing about some supposed 30% increase from .07% to .09%, and why that happened, is a waste of time. I hope you agree.
