The rash of Heroin OD deaths in Alleghany County? In my experience potency of the street product is often the cause.
Or new, what we call naive users.

Clearly a self-correcting problem if allowed to proceed without interference.
Obviously, more needle control laws are needed.
What we need is drug education to help prevent naïve users from hurting or killing themselves. It’s for the kids.
Considering that “keep(ing) abortion free and legal” is also overwhelmingly aimed at future Democrats (we’re well into 8-figure territory there), I have no faith that would stop them.
In as much as the anti-smoking lobby decries health money spent on ailing smokers (I’m not a smoker) why should hard earned taxes be wasted on pot smokers and crack-heads ? If they want to kill themselves, don’t stand in the way … that’d also assist the eugenicists but then it’d also decimate CAGW support and the Democrat voter base.
Maybe I’m paranoid… check that. I know I’m paranoid, but the use of the word “apparant” in the title makes me suspect this is actually some kind of vigilante justice style murder spree
