December 2016 article from Philadelphia reports rash of heroin overdose deaths from 90% purity and also reports that Fentanyl deaths "skyrocket 636%."

"This self-confident generation has produced more alcoholics, more drug addicts, more criminals, more wars, more broken homes, more assaults, more embezzlements, more murders, and more suicides...it is time all of us...begin to take stock of our failures, blunders, and costly mistakes.  It is about time that we place less confidence in ourselves and more trust and faith in God."  Billy Graham 1955.

In continuing to perpetrate a false-myth, the reporters in the article continue to use the term "get high" in reference to a substance which is a Central Nervous System (CNS) Depressant...which takes all users "low" and some users on an elevator ride which descends from consciousness through sleep, coma and arrives at death.  All opioids kill/deaden pain, slow/depress respiration, slow heart rate, constrict the pupils and cause constipation, in sufficient levels, these substances control the respiration center of the brain telling it to terminate respiring.
