In Heroin Crisis, White Families Seek Gentler War on Drugs

What's hilarious is these people were probably the same ones cheering on "tough and crime" drug laws 20 years ago.

I dont' see anything hilarious about loosing a child to an OD of heroin.

Or the parents being involved in bringing awareness to the problem.

Or realizing their own child turned into a junkie.

Trying to help others in the same position is a great thing, not to be frowned upon, is my belief.

Not sure how you come to that conclusion. 20 years ago those parents would have been in their 20s themselves. Do you know many young adults that are really so concerned with tough drug laws that they cheer about them?
