My 29 year old cousin was found dead this weekend from a heroin overdose. She started out as a recreational pot smoker and then got in to a lot heaver stuff. Has been in and out of court ordered rehab at least 4 times that I know of. She left behind an 11 year old son and a mother who can't afford a funeral.

Sorry to hear that wart. A grade school classmate of mine lost his son the same way. I don't know if there is any solution for the current addicts; hopefully seeing the number of folks who have died from an overdose will leave a lasting impression on anyone young enough to even consider heroin use.
