There have recently been stories in the news about the surprising result of the crackdown on abuse of prescription medication: the rise of heroin use. When I think of heroin, I think of skinny young folks trying to be models, but apparently it's also now involving soccer moms of suburbia and the poor. Here's a link to a story running today on msnbc.com following two women in a Columbus, Ohio, suburb who progressed from prescription pills to the harder stuff. Read story here. As the case would be, I happen to be getting ready to attend a CLE with the Columbus City Attorney's office on bath salts and other street drugs. I'll certainly ask about this rise in the use of heroin and what the office is seeing and doing about it.
