Cocaine has been traditionally a "Black" drug and Heroin a "White" one. Thus the powers that be used the law to suppress the "black" community and let the "white" get stoned without much enforcement.
I think the current "epidemic" is a result of a near universal rural and lower level working class despair because of a lack of good paying manufacturing jobs and no hope for economic advancement. In effect the "ghetto" has moved to the country and changed races. I suggest revising our import tariffs to protect rural industry and simultaneously legalizing drugs such as marijuana, cocaine and Heroin (Capitalized because it is a registered trademark). Increasing the prohibition is not going to do anything but make the problem worse.

Back when I used to smoke weed I never bought it from some stranger on a street corner. Yes, selling to strangers can be more profitable but at a higher risk of getting arrested.

The study found most people who began using the drug in the last decade were 23-years-old on average. That compares with the 1960’s, the researchers wrote, when users were 16-years-old on average.
Twenty-three is the new 16.
Life in the cul-de-sac is tough indeed.
