[quote=Anonymous]Some line for heroin got crossed around 2010.  Maybe there was complacency and school programs focused on stuff like marijuana, coke, and meth because the people teaching it also thought no one would go over the line to heroin.  Maybe it was the financial crisis, maybe it was renewed interest in 90's bands and Kurt Cobain whose death became romanticized, but somehow, heroin had become thinkable.  Stats show a significant spike in heroin overdose deaths between end 2010 and end 2011.

This was when a nice young man I know from a rigorous private school (no point naming, too far in the past) started on opiates and ended up in Baltimore calling escort services and offering them their fee plus a hundred bucks if they scored him some heroin.  That he injected in a shooting gallery in an abandoned row house where sometimes he stumbled over someone who had taken his last trip.  That he still maintained a very high GPA and got a 2300 on his SAT normalized it for others and somehow made it an option not an unthinkable.[/quote]
