Heroin the "new" plague? Sorry, but it's been a plague for the last 40 years. The country needs to get tough on drug dealers. And IMHO we need to get really tough or we will never stop it destroying our children and grandchildren lives.
Go to Singapore or Malaysia and they don't have a drug problem. In Singapore if you are caught bringing drugs into the country, even very small amounts, the sentence is death. Harsh, yes, very harsh. But they have no drug addicts and very little crime. Every inbound flight has announcements about the drug penalties and you almost always see some young person headed immediately for a restroom carrying their backpack.
We will never solve the problem in this country until we take severe steps. Start with drug dealers and keep moving down the chain until it's resolved. Eliminate those selling and making it and you will stop it. And as long as the penalty is only a slap on the wrist, we will continue to have the problem.
