Heroin

Heroin is the deadliest drug on the face of the planet. The global heroin industry funds terrorism and international crime while undermining the fabric of society. America’s prisons hold half a million drug offenders — more than any country in the world. Drug abuse costs the U.S. economy more than $180 billion a year.

Nearly a quarter of all people who try the drug eventually become addicted.
Heroin changes the way the brain works, so when an addict is deprived of the drug, they become physically sick. These physical changes in the brain lead to chemical dependence.
Physical symptoms of heroin withdrawal include severe muscle pain, vomiting, diarrhea, and in some cases, even death.
Because it’s injected, heroin’s impact on the brain is extreme. Unlike other drugs that rely on snorting or smoking, heroin’s effects are felt within seconds. It quickly crosses from the blood stream into the brain, releasing huge amounts of dopamine which trigger a euphoric state in the user.
Heroin use is risky because it’s almost always injected. Sharing needles spreads HIV and other infectious diseases.
The Insite project, a government run facility that provides users with clean needles and a safe place to shoot up, was set up in 2003 after Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside posted the highest rates of HIV in the Western world.
Two million people across Afghanistan are involved in the cultivation of opium poppies. Opium sap, the raw ingredient of heroin, comes from poppies.
In 2007 more than 1.8 million drug-related arrests were made in the U.S.
Opiates, like heroin, kill more people than any other narcotic — around 100,000 a year worldwide. Its victims die primarily from infection from dirty needles or overdose.
The U.S. government spends less than a quarter of its drug control budget on treatment

Had no idea Vancouver was the WORST in North America for Heroin addiction.

Switzerland has a program where they give out 100% pure heroin shots twice a day to "qualified" addicts...its working, crime is down like 60% because of it..US should look into it

You have to mix the Cheryl with the boy than that last second backdoor cover is not so bothersome
