Heroin abuse at 'epidemic' level in South Florida -drug report

[Crankinit]

I wonder if there's been an overall increase in opioid overdoses?

I live in Orlando and have been doing heroin for years... It kinda started to get real popular from about 96' to 2000 and then everyone was doing oxy's... I have def. noticed that there are a lot more heroin dealers and 24hr trap spots since they initiated the prescription monitoring program... You used to have to be Puerto Rican, Dominican or friends with one to find dope but starting around 2008 I would meet a lot more gringos..

Some US "drug expert" douche was in the Sydney papers the other day warning us that if we don't make prescription opioids harder to get, everything will turn out just like the worst of the US. Everyone's on heroin! Thousands of people OD on oxy every day! Ooga booga!

Think he's kinda misunderstanding the historical path of the situation he's talking about.

Woogy boogy - Peter Hitchens would be proud of the "drug expert" (I think).
