A very disturbing article in the fact it blames the drug instead of the bottom-feeding scumbags that sell it. A sick socialist pattern, you bet. Blame everything except the individuals responsible.
How about instead we target the heroin dealers and give them life sentences each and every time one is caught with a dealers amount of heroin. That will reduce the heroin deaths, overdoses and our nations children throwing their lives away addicted to a drug. And yeah, I'd place meth on that list, dealers, life in prison.
This would also shrink American gangs, and terrorist nations that sell drugs to fuel terrorism & socialist governments.
And yeah, I've seen the effects first hand while volunteering as an EMT in Fayettenam back in the 80-90's.
Officials declare health emergency in Connecticut city after string of overdoses

Officials in a Connecticut city said Thursday they are experiencing a major public health crisis after more than 20 overdoes were reported, including two fatal cases.
New Haven health officials told WTNH-TV that they activated the emergency notification system to warn residents about the tainted life-threatening heroin on the streets. According to the New Haven Independent the batches of heroin were laced with fentanyl.
Officials said by Thursday night there were about 22 overdoses and two deaths reported. Police said those numbers could rise.
“I don’t ever recall a day like this ever. I don’t think we’ve had this amount in a very, very long,” assistant Fire Chief Matt Marcarelli told the paper. “We have barely enough Narcan to get throughout the night. We’re hoping it calms down. We used up almost the whole supply of Narcan in the city.”
Naloxone, also known as Narcan, is administered to someone who is overdosing on heroin to reverse its effects. The fire department was working with the Yale-New Haven Hospital and AMR ambulance in Hartford to obtain more.
Paramedics started to respond to emergency calls at around 3:30 p.m. By then, at least six people had overdoes and were unconscious within three to four blocks of each other, the Independent reported.
Firefighters found two more men passed out in a car near a baseball field about three hours later. Marcarelli said the men showed “obvious” signs of an overdose.
By 9:30 p.m., at least 15 people had overdosed on heroin and the numbers continued to rise.
