When other opioids are legally prescribed and far more easily obtained and crack and meth can be manufactured domestically, why bother with old-school heroin? Any news about the sales and consumption of absinthe recently?

“It tells us that we are getting the word out to the American people of the risks of heroin,” -- Actually, considering the survey is done as "self-interviewing" (according to the link), and heroin is such a hot topic, I'd expect a lot more people are lying about it than not doing it.

if first time heroin users dropped it was because they can now get it in a more powerful pill or powder form. I'm not a trump guy but this is fake news.

How many people take their first drink every year, be sure to warn pregnant mothers and children.

How can that survey be accurate?
" I committed my first drug felony last year."

Don't tell Trump....He'll cut funding for it.
