Drug Epicenter in my State

In my State its Marion. The community posted signs in their front yards saying "Heroin Fuels Marion's Economy". A private citizen paid for 800 signs to be printed and distributed. I don't think Marion is the epicenter but it may have a larger percentage of arrest or overdoses than most communities comparable in size. Heroin abuse exists everywhere and until people proclaim it, it will remain a dirty secret.

Marion proclaimed their problem in a big way by posting signs. What about Findlay or New Richmond or Columbus? I have relatives in each place struggling with addiction. Heroin is an opiate that destroys lives. It destroys families, relationships and the community. It destroys. This whole situation has left me pissed off and speechless.

The real damage is still unfolding. What the fuck is wrong with my family? It was heartwrenching to find out 1 or 2 were dealing with addiction but 7?? Two are my biological nieces putting fucking drugs into their bodies. 6 are shooting up.

In the long run their kids will suffer. It's all becoming apparent and I'm fucking pissed.
