Yes, Afghanistan. Every heroin OD death is another casualty of our involvement there. Not every soldier we send over there is a choirboy.

I live in a comfortable suburban community north of Indy; we are getting hammered with heroin abuse among our kids. Thirty years ago heroin was pretty much just a “black thing” down in the ‘hood. Not any more.

Our local dope cops aren’t doing dick about the problem. They’d rather kick down the doors of some recent college grads to find a little weed in their apartment. They haven’t done a heroin dealer bust in two years. They’re pretty much worthless.

The recent college grads with a little weed in their apartments aren’t paying off the cops.

Afghanistan does produce a majority of the illicit opium in the world, but the vast majority consumed in the US is grown in Mexico and South America. The heroin trade is skyrocketing as the interstate transportation of drugs in this country is being taken over by Mexicans.
