Replying to Why do you think Heroin use is making a big comeback?

I friend of mine is a professor at University of Denver. School officials were recently informed by the police that Evans Avenue between Broadway and Colorado Blvd. has recently become the place where the most heroin deals happen in the state. Apparently it happens during rush hour traffic. People pull up and grab a balloon on their way to and from work.

"I'll try anything except Heroin" was a pretty commonly expressed phrase, during my college days.

The only things I ingest now are vitamins and supplements, and alcohol in moderation. My experience with the drug culture is extremely outdated. So seriously, why do you guys think that people are now messing with heroin again?
