Heroin is rampant here -- my next-door neighbor not so many years ago was carried out of his house feet-first in a bag after an overdose -- and nobody seems to be able to do anything about it except blame Those Other People, which is hardly a constructive solution. When kids who used to work for me show up on the arrest blotter for dealing to support their own habits, it's like getting a fork in the gut. It ceases to be some abstract "problem" that you read about on Internet forums when someone who was a part of your life is the one being picked up out of the gutter.
