In 2002, 166,000 Americans reported using the drug, but in 2012, 335,000 Americans said they had used heroin in the past year. But according to Michael’s House, a rehab facility for recovering heroin addicts, the average age of heroin users in the U.S. is currently 21 years old.
Unlike the heroin of yesteryear, which required the use of a needle, users nowadays can buy a button — a powder-filled capsule that can be broken open and snorted — for just $10. And the drug is widely available.
And instead of buying from a dealer in an alley, teens can purchase buttons from people on varsity sports teams, Ivy League campuses and in suburban neighborhoods.
The average age of users is 21. Sheesh !!!
Isn't it strange that so-called "illegal" businesses like drug dealing are well-run and successful, while so-called "legal" businesses are failing?
And now San Francisco wants to give out free crack pipes?

Considering our pervasive drug use, our frenzied rush to escape into video games, and our complete ignorance of what is happening in the world, America has become the place to go for those who wish to escape reality.
