But I Thought We Had a War on Drugs?

According to the CDC, “Heroin use is increasing rapidly across the United States among all age, race, income and ethnic groups.” “Deaths from heroin-related overdoses nearly quadrupled between 2002 and 2013.” “Heroin use doubled among women and young adults ages 18 to 25.” That is some war on drugs that we have, isn’t it? Another war that America can’t win. So, what is the cause of this increase in heroin use? The CDC director says: “First, more and more people are susceptible to heroin because they have been prescribed prescription opiates, like OxyContin. And the second reason is that heroin itself seems to be cheaper and more widely available.”

Legalize heroin. The war on drugs is not only a failure, it is a war on freedom.
