This is happening in small towns across America. Kids go to a party and pop an Oxycontin pill for kicks. Those pills are too expensive to keep taking, so some dealers pull a bait and switch to cheaper heroin. This is a very dangerous and serious addiction.

Just “popping” an O pill won’t do much. Crushing and snorting are the thing.

Here is an online link to stories from a small town in Massachusetts where several students died of overdoses of heroin.

This problem is in everyone’s back yard.

My son’s friend started with Oxy then went to Heroin. He tried to get my son to take him to score a brick of the big H. He wound up in jail, rehab and probation. Sad story. Needless to say, my son is forbidden to associate with him.

It’s happening to young people in their 20’s not just high school kids.

Parents, just when you thought you were out of the woods.
Keep your eyes and ears wide open!

heroin OD is an epidemic, more people than most can imagine have been and will be touched by this, and these murderers are deliberately targeting young people whose brain function of judgement is not matured

Herion is so linked to narcoterrorism that the US needs to get serious about penalties for dealing it. Make it worth no one’s while.

Thanks for posting; you saved me the trouble.
And welcome to FR, rural voter.

This is real nasty business and specifically targeting white middle class. The Mexicans are on a bold, out in the open, lawless spree in this country. Who will stop them?

Xalisco bosses have avoided the nation's largest cities with established heroin organizations. Instead, using Southern California and Phoenix as staging areas, they have established networks in Salt Lake City; Reno; Boise, Idaho; Indianapolis; Nashville; and Myrtle Beach, S.C., among other places. From those cities, their heroin -- called black tar because it's sticky and dark -- has made its way into suburbs and small towns.
