Big change is coming to opiate painkillers, should all but eliminate the hillbilly heroin epidemic.
Meth however is a different story. What they are doing in Mexico is ridiculous and they are getting it over here with more success than any drug import ever. Even worse is that it doesn't cast a thing to make so if it is lost no one at the top really cares.
