Heroin - The Next Generation / Documentary Educational Video

Heroin Documentary Video from the public domain. Heroin: The Next Generation. Viewers will learn about the different types of heroin being peddled on the streets of America, how heroin affects the users and hear first person accounts about heroin use from former users. Find out how the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office broke a major heroin trafficking ring that was selling the drug to young people in the affluent suburb of Scottsdale, Arizona. What goes around comes around -- and Heroin is back! But the face of yesterday's junkie is not the face of the junkie of today. More young people than ever before are shooting it, snorting it — even smoking it. And they're getting more bang for their buck when buying their heroin on the streets today. One reason: The purity of this drug is the highest at the street level than it's ever been -- that means users don't have to use needles to inject the drug into their veins. The new ability to snort or smoke heroin is enticing more young people than ever before to give it a try. Back in the 60s and 70s, heroin users primarily injected the drug into their bloodstream. The next generation of heroin users do not have to use needles to get high on heroin. Smoking it or snorting it is more appealing to younger and first-time users by eliminating the fear of needles and syringe-associated diseases such as HIV, AIDS and hepatitis -- not to mention the stigma associated with the stereotypical "junkie" who "shoots up" the drug. Another reason heroin use is on the rise, according to James Hall, an epidemiologist for Up Front Drug Information Center in Miami, Florida is because prescription drug abuse is on the rise. "Young people who try prescription narcotic opiate drugs and like the effects of those drugs are turning to heroin because it packs a similar, yet more powerful punch than prescription narcotic opiates," Hall says. "That's why prescription drug abuse is becoming a stepping stone to first time heroin users." Program Objectives: This program discusses, among other things, the following: Learn about the different types of heroin being peddled on the streets of America. Learn how heroine affects the users.

[1ukjunglednbraver]

@AnonymousNI phisical withdrawl is the worst the mental side can be hard its all about will power but when i had alcohol with drawls if i had money i would have drank but id never lower my self to steal you can be a drug addict and still be a good person ...i bought 2000 valium the other day crashed my car im going to be in shit in court at least a 2 year ban from driving it was more the way i was driving than the drugs but maybe the drugs made me drive that way but i always drove like that so

Would never touch heroin myself , but I usually smoke weed regularly , and had a few months of snorting mephedrone , not that crystal meth gear you Americans have , mcat, meow , that stuff , and it was the first time I felt addiction start to get a grip of me , so I cut that shit out , but I did find myself snorting a lot of Xanax over the past few weeks, well until I threw up over my laptop and broke it -.- not worth it tbh

[SickBoy666100]

This sucked. Its says in the description it shows the different types of herion being sold in the u.s. It didnt show anything like that.2 thumbs down from this east coast junkie.

[JubeProductions]

i'm 15 mins into this piece of crap documentary and it's just a bunch of random clips put together with no direction.

i just saw a clip of a cop saying he saw people abusing antibiotics. WTF? antibiotics? get real.

[charlenecarter60]

Let it play out we all wont to do drugs mostly heroin

[YouAndOpenFlames]

Uh oh, smack is back in the suburbs. No doubt the prohibition apparatus is being racheted up to drive it back into the inner cities? Can't have all these middle-class white kids getting hooked can they?

[fullmetaljaco]

when i listened an american talking about alcohol as a"drug"when in my culture we literally grow up with wine and beer(drinking,which is different from getting drunk),then i realized how closed the US are to the physical alteration caused by substances.Prohibitionism is useless:it sucks money from the state,gives the crime lords a purpose to exist and MONEY,and develops a situation in which your son can go out of home and buy illegally.if the state owns the drugs nobody can get it out of control
