Suburbs try to fight heroin's grim hold
Being the bearer of bad news is in no way nice. Yet, once again, I must forecast what shall come. On many occasions the warning was foretold. The coming of the proliferation of drugs is always the beginning. The violence for control of the streets soon follows.
The hard dope, sadly will filter in our neighborhoods. What can only slow it to a trickle, is prevention on a visual scale. Exposing our youth, at certain age points, both at home and in public, and private schools may help. Longer prison terms for dealing these destructive drugs, should be the norm.
But, as far as marijuana is concerned, States should look closely at it from an economic lens.
Such non-drastic approaches should stem the soon escalating proliferation these suburbs are seeing materialize right before them. Nip it in the bud now while there is an opportunity. If you don't, the violence will surely soon follow.
