mark my words, this is linked to increased pot use.
Pot has been known for decades to be a gateway drug.
If you are looking for a gateway drug, look at prescription painkillers. Oxycpnton, methadone, morphine. All opiates.
“mark my words, this is linked to increased pot use.”
It’s linked to the abuse of prescription pain killers. As the supply of those has dried up, costs have increased for them on the illegal side. In comes heroin for a cheaper price to desperate addicts and here you go.
