re: Trump to hold,"major briefing", on Opioid Crisis today at 3pm.

Well yeah Alcohol is destructive, but it doesn't even compare to Heroin. More people die from opiod overdoses than car wrecks in the US each year. Alcohol is responsible for more deaths overall, but it's also legal around the world. Most all deaths are the result years of consumption.

If heroin had been legal for the past 100 years, I can assure you there would be more heroin-related deaths. It's inherently dangerous and can kill you the first time you try it.
