Heroin related deaths in the USA have more than quadrupled since 2001. Over one million people in the USA are using heroin and over 10,000 people a year are dying from heroin including pop star Prince. The overuse of opioids for medication for pain caused many good Americans to become addicted to opioids and then they turned to heroin since they couldn't get opioids. Tragic. The USA has 5 percent of the world’s population yet it uses 60 percent of the world’s pain killers. There is no way to stop a certain percentage of the population from using drugs if the supply is readily available. The most effective way to stop heroin use in the USA and the world is to eliminate the world’s supply and stop the overuse of subscriptions for (opioids) pain medication. Over 90 percent of the world’s heroin supply comes from the poppy fields in Afghanistan. Those fields must be destroyed. The longer those fields are permitted to exist the longer tens of thousands of people in the USA are going to die. President Trumps brother Fred Trump died from alcohol abuse. President Trump doesn't drink. I believe Donald Trump is the most likely president to eliminate the poppy fields in Afghanistan. The citizens of the USA have to let President Trump and every other politician know if they want to get elected again they must eliminate all the opium fields in Afghanistan. This is of the highest priority tens of thousands of lives annually depend on it.
USA has reached a 20 year high in a war on drug users. Never works. You have to destroy the supply and over 90 percent of worlds poppy seeds are in Afghanistan. Destroy the fields and save lives now.
The only way to stop the over one million Americans from using heroin is to cut it off at its supply. The opium fields in Afghanistan must be destroyed.
In the year 2001 there were 7,600 hectares of poppy fields in Afghanistan. In 2016 there were over 200,000 hectares of poppy fields in Afghanistan. These fields must be destroyed to save tens of thousands of lives. In the USA alone the only way to prevent most of these deaths is to destroy almost all the poppy fields in Afghanistan. And stop overuse of subscriptions for (opioids) pain medication.
USA solider guarding the opium fields in Afghanistan. Over 10,000 people in America killed in 2016 from heroin overdoses. Over 90 percent of world heroin comes from Afghanistan. Those opium fields need to be torched not guarded.
Pop star Prince died from heroin overdose. Over 1 million Americans use heroin. It's use has more than quadrupled since 2002. Over 90 percent of heroin in USA comes from Afghanistan. The poppy fields need to be destroyed.
Jim Morrison in 1971 died from heroin overdose. This was long before the heroin explosion.
Cory Monteith star of television show Glee died in 2013 from heroin overdose.
