The Coroner’s Office has identified 38 people who have died from heroin overdoses this year, about an 8.5 percent increase from Baton Rouge’s previous record of 35 heroin deaths in 2013. Clark said he will push this spring for the Louisiana Legislature to stiffen penalties for heroin dealers.

“Anyone who sells heroin should go to jail forever,” Clark said.
C'mon man

quote:

“A heroin dealer is a violent offender,” Clark said. “Their weapon may not be a gun or a knife.”


quote:

The victims of this year’s heroin death toll range in age from their teens to their 60s. Clark said the drug has affected all races, though most deaths have been among white males.

Well, if they don't want people to OD on heroin then stop making prescription opiates so hard to get.

Well are the doctors that prescribed the opioids that led to the addiction going to jail?

Most of the heroin epidemic is a direct result in the cut-off of opioid painkillers.

They should raise the penalties for dealing marijuana too since all these heroin addicts were addicted to pot first

I cracked up in that movie "The Night Before" When Seth says "I haven't seen cocaine in thirteen years" and his wife says "no one has". So true. early 2000's it was all over and it was taken over by Molly and painkillers.
