Heroin Use Growing, Addicting, and Killing

In St. Louis County, police Chief Tim Fitch says: “dealers are snaring kids with a stronger version of heroin because they can be smoked, snorted or injected just under the skin (Skin Popping).  Since the drug is so potent that it does not have to be injected to cause the ‘high’, or perhaps more precisely, the ‘low’- heroin is a central nervous system depressant - many have been fooled into believing it is now just a recreational drug".  

               Many first timers’ don’t understand how ‘good’ the junk is, (as high as 90% pure), the chance of OD’ing is greater than ever.

Last week, a special agent for the DEA told the St. Louis Post Dispatch that heroin overdose deaths have doubled in the St. Louis area in the last few years, and one of the reasons is the fact that the drug is now available to teens for about $10 for a two-hour high.
