U.S. Official Warns Of 'Nationwide Heroin Crisis'

WASHINGTON (AP) — A top U.S. drug official says the United States is facing a "nationwide heroin crisis."

Assistant Secretary of State William Brownfield says heroin addicts and abusers have increased 75 percent in the last four years. He says the amount of pure heroin entering the U.S. has doubled.

Brownfield spoke Tuesday at a House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing on U.S.-Mexican relations. He heads the department's international narcotics and law enforcement unit.

Brownfield said the U.S. has gotten better at interrupting cocaine and methamphetamine flows from Latin America. But he said heroin is a different problem.

Law enforcement authorities across the U.S. are warning the drug is making a comeback. Once mainly a city phenomenon, it has spread to rural villages and middle-class suburbs.


hows it looking for you guys out in the world? I live in NJ and evrybody does dope. EVERYBODY... I cant find a girl who dont do it, I cant find friends who dont do it, I first saw it explode here in Jersey THE FIRST YEAR OF THE AFGHAN WAR. thats when all my friends in HS started seeing it (first time someone tried giving me some I was 16, now 27). While the richer NYC areas were on roxicet (20-30 a pill, equivalent to 1-2 bags of H) us jersey heads was with that 3-5 dollar bags of d.

I am curuious how youre guys areas are looking and im talking OUTSIDE city areas. This shyt is IN the burbs. I can go cop from 4 diff people right now, but I cant find a bag of green.

Newark is a major hub. It's a problem everywhere because of pain pills. Scripts run out and heroin is cheaper. It's getting worse with more people cutting heroin with prescription pills. Lots of overdoses from heroin and fentanyl. Mexicans are getting smarter too and pushing H into suburban areas to avoid law enforcement.

i get ya point but that dont make it any less important

Tru, but I feel I know how the arrests will be distributed. Feels like h will be the new 'crack' in terms of sentencing.
I will say that there seems to be more of a emphasis on treatment and rehab for heroin and pill poppers than there was for crackheads.
Wonder why that is...

Notice now that meth has ravaged white towns and heroin is too, all of a sudden people want to rethink our failed war on drugs and move toward treatment and rehab than law enforcement. Just like after white kids started shooting up schools, now we need gun control.
