(CNSNews.com) – An official with the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy told a Senate Foreign Relations subcommittee Thursday that the number of deaths involving heroin increased 340 percent from 2007 to 2014, the latest year of available data. “In 2014, the most current year for which we have data, more than 47,000 Americans or approximately 129 people each day died from a drug overdose. Of the overdose deaths in 2014, 22 percent involved heroin,” Kemp Chester, associate director for the National Heroin Coordination Group within the Office of National Drug Control Policy, told the committee during a hearing titled, “Cartels and the U.S. Heroin Epidemic: Combating Drug Violence and Public Health Crisis.” “The threat posed by heroin has continued to grow dramatically over the past several years, and since 2007, deaths involving heroin have risen 340 percent--from 2,402 in 2007 to 10,574 in 2014. Heroin use is spreading to suburban and rural communities and is growing among most socio-economic classes, age groups and races,” he told the Subcommittee on Western Hemisphere, Transnational Crime, Civilian Security, Democracy, Human Rights, and Global Women's Issues. Mexico is the primary supplier of heroin to the U.S. “with Mexican drug traffickers cultivating opium poppy, producing heroin, and smuggling the finished product into the United States,” Chester said.

Portugal decriminalised drugs 14 years ago – and now hardly anyone dies from overdosing
The only thing keeping Gatlin from using heroin, resident Obama. Drug abuse goes up when people feel hopeless. You can thank Obama for this lately. The other is wars. When you send kids into fight with slogans instead of clear cut objectives they feel hopeless stuck in hell. You can thank Bush and Obama for this.
Portugal's low death rate can't be attributable solely to decriminalization. As Dr. Joao Goulao, the architect of the country's decriminalization policy, has said, "it's very difficult to identify a causal link between decriminalization by itself and the positive tendencies we have seen."
But critics of the policy, such as the Association for a Drug-Free Portugal, say overall consumption of drugs in the country has actually risen by 4.2 percent since 2001 and claim the benefits of decriminalization are being "over-egged."
Well, Duh....
From whom, and for what reason?
And this is a bad thing? Mother Nature at work. Natural selection. Play stupid games... win stupid prizes. You'll never see me give some foaming at the mouth... Barely breathing drug addict narcon. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح

Si vis pacem, para bellum Those who beat their swords into plowshares will plow for those who don't Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God. if you look around, we have gone so far down the the rat hole, the almighty is going to have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah, if we don't have a judgement come down on us.

0.3% per year!? The horror! A government strong enough to impose your standards is strong enough to ban them.
Obviously you DON'T know. You just post shit without knowing any reason?
Quack, Waddle... http://www.google.com/? gws_rd=ssl#q=russell+trust+association+Heroin+Bush Same ol' Shyte, different municipal toilet.
How'bout you tell the class why the crops were PROTECTED instead of being napalmed and bulldozed super genius? Buying "Hearts and Minds" of the Afghan Opium farmers whose product = Heroin addiction for the "Hearts and Minds" of Suburban Amerikastan back home. www.google.com/? gws_rd=ss...+Addiction+White+Suburban Typical Military Industrial-grade Uniparty Horseshyte.
{ crickets crickets crickets } "Heroin consumed in the US comes mainly from Afghanistan and Mexico, members of the UN's International Narcotics Control Board (INCB), said in Mexico City on Wednesday, March 2." But you didn't REALLY want to know any of those facts. Did ya GatlinTARD.
Not part of the jack boot job description ehh? Your ilk is a pathetic representation of the LEO family.
Idiot.
That link doesn't state why the U.S. Marines were guarding the poppy fields. Just admit that you don't know why and quite making a fool of yourself by displaying your ignorance.
Yea, I really do. This link also does not state why the U.S. Marines were guarding the poppy fields. Tell us ... specifically why they were? Your copy and paste imitation of Deckard's avoidance limited knowledge technique does nothing but continue to mask your ignorance. The question still remains: Why were the U.S. Marines guarding the poppy fields?
After you ADMIT that you don't know ... I will do your homework for you, before I dismiss the class.
Watch the video above, Whoraldo has an opium slasher/scraper tool and is ready to go! The whole FOX NEWS team could end up like Lush Rimbaugh, stoned out of their minds and ready to vote for anything with an R. They have no self control whatsoever... mind numbed robots, ditto heads. Because they were told to. Evidently that was because it was less politically expedient than Napalming Meanwhile - "Most of the profits in the poppy trade go to traffickers, not farmers." www.leatherneck.com/forum...p?63137- It%92s-a-30-hour-trek-from-Lejeune-to-Afghanistan/page6 www.google. com/#q=russell+trust+association+Heroin Same ol' shyte, different boney outhouse on the Shrub farm.
Shut your filthy drug addict loving maw... Paultard. All your law enforcement loathing will never change the FACT that the war on drugs will still be waged long after your dead and gone... and thousands of drug addicts will vapor lock this year alone. The scum will always win STUPID PRIZES no mater how much you love their STUPID GAMES.
I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
Because they were told to. Evidently that was because it was less politically expedient than Napalming and Bulldozing the crops -- which would've been the morally responsible thing to do; especially given the FACTS regarding how much of that "agricultural" product ends up in American neighborhoods. Yes to the first sentence ... the were ordered to, No it was not "evidently" the reason you state. The question remains: Why were the U.S. Marines guarding the poppy fields?
Ah, no. It's not. I won't lift a finger for anyone that tries to kill themselves. That includes overdosing. There isn't a drug addict alive that doesn't know the dangers of shooting a chemical into their bloodstream... fuck them. Let them die. You don't like that? TFB. I don't answer to you. lol I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
Watch the video above ... Why don't you just tell us: Why were the U.S. Marines guarding the poppy fields? Or, don't you know either?
How do the constituents of your employer's City Council feel about you not answering to them?
Because they were NOT ordered to destroy them. Why was that?
Which individual in the photo was the "filthy drug addict" Barney Fife?
So that the D&R drug cartel can finance the campaign & election of President Hillary Rodham Clinton, so that she can then appoint Donny Trumkins as the Czar of Transgender Bathrooms? Obama = Bush = Hillary = Trump = Uncle Joe Biden = Hiawatha Warren = yukon President Hillary Rodham-Clinton (D&R) I'm retired from law enforcement, tool bag. Keep up with current events. I collect a pension... it can never be stopped... and I no longer have to ever worry about what constituents, police boards, libtards, cop blockers OR WHAT MY EMPLOYER thinks about what I say and do. Just keep paying me and STFU. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
Like I give a shit. There are good cops and there are bad cops. WAY MORE good than bad. If an officer develops an addiction or feels the desire to attempt a suicide... then I hope they win their stupid prizes. I'm equal oppertunity for drug addict death. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح

Hahahahah ... you made a funny.
BINGO! Captain Uniparty says "the [Military Industrial Drug-pushing] Republicans and Democrats know they need each other to survive". I may vote for Trump just so I can see Captain U puke all over his fashion wear.
Can't handle GrandIsland, eh ... you pussy. You have to call in your asshole buddies to help you out. Shameful cowardice ...
Oh he got handled just fine. Caught red handed in a big ol' LIE. I just wanted everybody else to enjoy laughing at him/her/it.
I think we should go into the hood in Chicago, and pass out free ammo
