I am afraid that our laws need to deal more severely with violators because this is only going to worsen
I cannot recall any movie or television show that romanticizes heroin usage. It is usually thought of as the worst drug to get hooked on and the users and pushers are on the lowest rung of the ladder.

Odd to me that the ones who continuously preach less government interference and fewer laws are saying just the opposite and are talking of an equal to Sharia law punishment for drug offenders.
