Growing up in several of the nastiest fucking slums in the country, I saw what heroin and coke did to people, but it hadn't spread so much out from where I lived in those days. I had thought that heroin had died off, replaced by meth, but instead it looks like it's just merely become even more available while having less awareness about it being circulated. Except now it's moving further into suburbs instead of the hood,
which makes sense. With so many peoples' lives starting to fall apart, it makes sense that such a numbing drug would start gaining in popularity amongst that demographic.
People in the burbs aren't just going to heroin though. The reason there is more heroin use there is a side effect of prescription pills. I know a few guys that started with perc 30s, but two of those will run you $50-60. It ends up being cheaper to switch to heroin, hence it becoming more popular again.
Thank god we have funding for prescriptions in the UK. All prescriptions are free for low waged or 12 dollars (worth) maximum.
Some may call them junk, I call them treasures.
