Heroin Deaths Still Rising, CDC Says
NCHS released its final 2011 data a few months ago, showing that heroin overdose deaths jumped about 45% in just one year — from 3,036 in 2010 to 4,397 in 2011. The 2012 NCIPC data, which are based on information from death certificates, show heroin deaths in these 28 states soaring from 1,779 in 2010 to 3,645 in 2012.
The DEA is busy harassing its registrants (wholesaler, prescribers, pharmacies).. fining and seizing assets to help fund their operations.. while this ILLEGAL DRUG becomes more readily available on the street… I guess it is just too dangerous going after armed crooks selling Heroin.
Of course this is a epidemic… but the CDC never does press releases about the 16 K that die annually from hospital acquired MRSA… because staff fail to WASH THEIR HANDS … don’t hear about that EPIDEMIC ?

No we’re not going to hear about it all they want to do is lay all the blame on the prescription narcotics that many people need to live any kind of life at all! Back again all boils down to money for them
