I’m not a big fan of the war on drugs. Yet, I’d rather not see heroin legalized, thank you.

As for the overdoses – you make a point, but my article is not really about how many kids are overdosing on heroin, as to why so many middle class suburban kids are suddenly enamored with it.

I am sorry, but good kids do not get addicted to and overdose on Heroin. Only bad kids do that.

Not necessarily. Most kids who are labeled as “bad” kids were good, once. If we try to figure out what turns them instead of dismissing them (as per the first comment here) maybe we can help them.
