That area of the world is a major source of Heroin as we know

Philly is known as having quality dope and I wonder where this areas dope is sourced? Likely still Asia so I wonder what the OD rates look like compared to other areas. A major reason Fetanyl has flourished here and not Europe is Europe gets quality dope from Afghanistan and Asia, Purer & no need to spike to with Fetanyl

Post Vietnam War and 9/11, we source mostly low quality Mexican dope

Pretty nutty IMO that inferior product is a driving force with this problem.

I personally don’t think there is a solution to this problem but legalizing all drugs ( only Givt can sell, no marketing, early education and easy access to treatment is only way to mange).

Also it’s highly unlikely our Govts will meet their financial obligations as BB retire and we need new sources of revenue to fund promises. Comical how gambling and possibly drugs are the only possible solutions lol. Tying their pension check to legalization might do the trick lol
