heroin

Minnesota's fourth-largest city is getting regional attention for just how bad the opioid crisis is in the area.

As part of their three-pronged approached to solving the drug problem in The Northland, the police department is offering non-judgmental help with a number to call for those struggling with addiction.

A man who just served time for killing a man while driving under the influence of meth and heroin was caught doing it again in Duluth.

I happened to stumble on this YouTube video that shows what police officers are trained to do to save lives.

Tracy Johnson believes she witnessed a heroin overdose at a parking lot in Billings Park, Superior. From what she describes, it's believable that it was taking place. It's also sadly not a surprise as heroin is killing so many people.

This is pretty chilling to watch.  A TV station in West Virginia recently did a story on the heroin epidemic that's hitting this country.  It shows a unique point of view from what the EMTs see when they arrive on scene.

This is a great documentary done by the New York Times.  They look into why more and more addicts are using heroin, and why it's so dangerous.  It is such a sad thing to see, and in the last few days there have been at least a half a dozen heroin overdoses in the Northland.

Jazzelle Lee Marie died from a heroin overdose in February of this year.  She left behind a 2 year old son, and many broken hearts in the community.  It is such a tragic and sad story that unfortunately happens often with heroin use.
