Heroin deaths surpass homicides [USA]

Heroin deaths surpass homicides
newspressnow.com

U.S. heroin deaths have increased sharply, surpassing gun homicides for the first time, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data.

In 2015, there were 12,989 heroin deaths compared with 12,979 gun homicide deaths, according to the CDC. Capt. Shawn Collie, with the Buchanan County Drug Strike Force, said in the last couple of years he has witnessed a surge in heroin use in the St. Joseph area.

"Some we're seeing every week, every other week now so - it's a drug we used to rarely see and now it's a common drug we are seeing," Collie said.

According to the CDC heroin is an illegal, highly addictive opiod drug that delivers a feeling of euphoria. It can be injected, snorted or smoked and users often combine it with other drugs and alcohol, which increases the risk of an overdose. An overdose can cause slow and shallow breathing, coma and lead to death.

"We are seeing fentanyl being introduced with the heroin, which is creating a high number of overdose deaths in bigger cities," Collie said. "You're seeing it cut with other ingredients that people are having reactions to."

He said the drug can be manufactured by an unknown person, in another country and reprocessed with unknown chemicals and ingredients. Collie also said it is "shocking" that heroin deaths outnumbered gun homicide deaths and that a majority of the department's caseload involves prescription pills, heroin and synthetic heroin.

"It's hurting our community. ... The abuse is so prevalent now that the devastation is daily in this area," Collie said.

According to a 2016 National Drug Threat Survey, the heroin threat is particularly high in the Midwest and Northeast areas of the United States. In 2015, there were 3,959 heroin-related deaths in the Midwest. Collie said drug abusers are turning to heroin since supply and demand caused the price of prescription pills to skyrocket.

"Prescription pills are harder to get and more expensive, so they are turning to the heroin, which is obviously easier to get now plus it's a lot cheaper," Collie said.

According to the CDC, between 2000 and 2015, the rate of heroin-related overdose deaths quadrupled and in 2015 more than 12,989 people died. Collie said the way to combat the epidemic is through education and communication in the community and among agencies.

"You see a lot of talk whether it's from the medical side, legislation, law enforcement but, the problem is that each area has its own agenda and those agendas don't seem to mesh," Collie said.

Crazy, you would think by invading a country which produces mass amounts of heroin that we would see a decrease but since then heroin deaths per year have quadrupled  :shrug:

the dope is lethal anymore. Both times I have done it in the past month I almost overdosed. Better off just using kratom.

Wow three things America should not be proud of the highest murder rate in west, the highest overdosing rate in the world and the highest incarceration rate in the world.

  But Trump will make America great again. ROLMFAO After he puts all the Mexican drug dealers and criminals in jail just like Germany was great after they put all their Jews in Ghettos.

  Stupid is as stupid does and guess what, America is not a shinning example of a fair and great nation that it once was, and Trump is only going to make it worse.


  FYI its not drugs that fuck up America it is its fascist solutions that are fucking the American people. Its why America has "the highest murder rate in west, the highest overdosing rate in the world and the highest incarceration rate in the world."

  Ya I know Americans are jumping up and down chanting how great America is and like I said stupid is as stupid does.
