How Federal Policies Have Spawned a Heroin Epidemic


Story at-a-glance

  • In 2013, more than 46,000 Americans died from drug overdoses, including 16,000 from prescription painkillers, and about 8,000 from heroin
  • Between 2013 and 2014, heroin use in the U.S. rose by 51 percent. Heroin addiction is fueled by legal drug addiction to opioid painkillers which, from a chemical standpoint are nearly identical to heroin
  • The U.S. federal government is worsening the heroin epidemic by supporting use of exceptionally dangerous painkillers while preventing the use of medical marijuana, which can offer non-toxic pain relief
